Scope on the Skies: Luna

Science Scope -- September 2006

Our Moon, Luna, will be the focus of the Scope on the Skies columns for this coming school year. Data and information will be provided so that each month you and your students can follow the Moon and the Earth as the two orbit together around the Sun. Students can use this data, for example, to graph the Moon's changing apparent size and distance, watch for patterns or rhythms to develop, or combine this data with information from the internet to look for any correlations between Moon distance and tides, earthquakes, or volcanic activity.
