Hello, Grade 3 explorers! Today, let's embark on a celestial journey as we talk about what's cool about lunar observations?studying and marveling at the moon in the night sky.
Changing Phases:
The moon doesn't stay the same every night. Lunar observations allow us to notice its changing phases, from a bright full moon to a delicate crescent, and everything in between.
Moon's Impact on Earth:
Did you know that the moon affects tides? It's true! Lunar observations help scientists understand how the moon's gravitational pull influences Earth's oceans.
Eclipses and Events:
Lunar observations give us a front-row seat to celestial events like lunar eclipses, where the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow. These events are not only cool but also quite rare.
Moon's Features:
Through telescopes and lunar probes, scientists have explored and documented the moon's surface features. Lunar observations help us understand the craters, mountains, and plains on the moon.
