What is the moon?

Welcome to your first stop, here we will be thinking about what the moon might represent to people today and also what it might have once represented in other cultures.

Watch this video to gain a brief understanding of the moon and its activities from a modern viewpoint.



Taking that information into consideration, how much do you think we knew about the moon before going there? Was there any other way to gather data on the moon besides by simply looking at it though a telescope? How much more difficult do you think it was to observe the moon without any tools or accurate recording devices?

Well the next stop should give you somewhat of an idea of how painstaking this process was for people living in an ancient civilization.
