Goodnight Moon

It is getting dark earlier and earlier each day another sign that fall and winter are just around the corner. The moon is so bright tonight ~ you can't really tell but you get the general idea. Since I am talking about the moon here are some moon fun facts for you {in case you go on Jeopardy or Who Wants To Be A Millionaire}

  • 225,745 miles from Earth
  • radius is 1,080 miles
  • The moon is not round, but egg shaped with the large end pointed towards earth
  • 12 men have walked on its surface
  • Only about 59 percent of the moon's surface is visible to us here on earth
