After the Sun, our
Moon is the biggest
brightest object in the
sky. It is 25,000 times
brighter than the
brightest star, so bright
you can see it in
daylight. Yet the Moon
does not make any light
itself it just reflects light
from the sun.
Neil Armstrong was
the first man on the
moon in 1969.
Some say that the
first man on the
Moon was a fake.
From my experience
of watching a
documentary I'm a
little bit convinced
my self.

We think our Earth is a
pretty important
planet, but in fact we
live on a piece of dirt.
Our Solar System is
really just the sun with
a few pieces left over,
and we live on one of
those pieces
.

Mercury, which is the
closest planet to the
sun, looks like the
moon. It is a small,
rocky world and, like
our Moon it’s covered
in craters. Space rocks
crashing into Mercury
long ago made these
craters.

Mars is probably the
most exciting planet in
the solar system. It’s
certainly the world most
visited by robot
spacecraft. Although it’s
smaller and cooler than
Earth ,Mars might just be
warm enough for life.

Jupiter is truly a giant
planet. All the other
planets in the solar
system could fit
inside Jupiter and
there would still be
room to spare, and it
could swallow 1,300
Earths.
