"Did you know the moon is considered a natural satellite? Or that its gravity affects ocean tides on Earth? This book explores the closest celestial body to Earth and the ways in which the moon and Earth affect each other. Chapters introduce topics including the moon's origin, its make-up and phases, the first people to walk on its surface, and the moon's role in both lunar and solar eclipses"--From the publisher's web site.
