The Moon | Astronomy Education

presented by Colin Hill, Acting Astronomy Education Officer

Abstract: After travelling to the far reaches of the cosmos last year, we return to our own neighbourhood and take a close look at our own natural satellite – The Moon. Where did it come from? What are its physical properties? These questions and many more will be explored about our companion in space.
