Tour guide to the MOON
How It Works UK
|Issue 205
Your dusty, distant destination awaits, with unique geology that reveals billions of years of cosmic collisions
The rocky orb that orbits Earth has been at the centre of human wonder for millennia. Scientists have known for centuries how the presence of the Moon defines life on Earth - from stabilising Earth's climate and controlling the tides to lighting up the night by reflecting sunlight. Long before it was possible to travel to the Moon, people could only speculate about what it was like on its surface. As it's the brightest object in the night sky, ancient civilisations viewed the Moon as a mystical god. It wasn't until 1969 that the first humans travelled a quarter of a million miles from Earth to the Moon to get close up to its surface and discover what it's like to stand on another world.
