Moon

Is the moon really made of cheese? Who is the man in the moon, anyway? In this BrainPOP UK movie Tim and Moby will set you straight about our one and only natural satellite. Learn why the moon shines so brightly, its composition (what it’s made of), and why it goes through all those crazy phases. In this educational, animated movie you’ll discover what’s on the surface of the moon–from maria to craters and why you can see some of these features with just your naked eye! You will also find out about the four main theories that scientists have on how the moon formed! Find out about gravity on the moon and why it affects tides all the way on Earth. And finally, you’ll learn about the Apollo Project, an historic mission to the moon by us humans — and yes, it really happened!
