 Educational moon posters about Earth’s only natural satellite and the moons of Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn, make great educational posters and teaching resources for the science and social studies classrooms and home schoolers.
The Earth's Moon, the second brightest object in the sky for humanity, after the Sun, orbits around Earth once per month at 384,400 km. As the angle between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun change we see the cycle of the Moon’s phases.
The Moon is the only extraterrestrial body to have been visited by humans; first mapped by the Soviet’s Luna 2 in 1959, the United States landed a crew on July 20, 1969.
Known as Selene and Artemis by the Greeks and as Luna by the Romans, the Moon has been a powerful symbol for countless generations of humans. Ideas expressed in mythology influence our thinking in many ways, even after we understand such things as tides and lunacy with scientific knowledge.
