It seems impossible to overstate the influence of the moon on humanity. This little hardcover book, The Moon, explores the appeal—historical, scientific, and romantic—of our planet's natural satellite. 

Tonight is a full moon. This one is called the Full Corn Moon and the Barley Moon. The next full moon will be the Harvest Moon.

Today is the 40th Anniversary of the first manned landing on the moon. According to LunarLand you can buy 1 Acre of Land on the Moon starting at $29.99. What a deal! And what a great gift for anyone celebrating a 40th birthday or anniversary. A lunar map is included showing the exact location of the purchased property by quadrant, lot number, latitude and longitude. Mineral rights are included.

I wonder how much you could charge NASA for rent if they land on your property? Hmmm...

The year is 1980, and the aliens have landed. Earth's only hope is S.H.A.D.O. (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organization), led by the stalwart Ed Straker (the only American actor in the cast). The Complete UFO DVD MegaSet shows you every bit of their future; a moon base, a submarine with a Skydiver sub/jet and lots of other cool high-tech gadgets.

I love British tv shows. This show is from 1970, created by Gerry Anderson after Thunderbirds and before Space:1999.

And the cars are the coolest! GM should have considered some of these designs!

Tonight there is a new moon. This is when the dark part of the moon faces the Earth, so it looks like there is no moon at all. Astromomers like this night because it is the best for viewing the stars with a telescope. The new moon is the beginning of the month in lunar calendars.

Keep track of the phases of the moon with these MoonMark™ Bookmarks. Printed on reflective Mylar (shiny!)  to be a real eye-catcher and very durable. Sold in packs of 25, so give them to your class, your students or your friends.

Today is Moon Day.  Somehow that just doesn't seem right. Shouldn't it be Moon Night.  Actually today is the Anniversay of the first moon landing.  That was way before my time but i'm sure every one knows Neil Armstrongs famous words as he became the firt man to walk on the moon.  Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent the day walking on the moon collecting samples and testing weightlessness.  The U.S. carried out a total of six moon landings.

Can you name the other astronaut who piloted the command module that flew to the moon and back?

No idea what that means? For the uninformed, it means that the moon is growing larger towards being full, and that this year, March 20 is the first day of Spring. That is the Vernal Equinox.

A lot of our calendar has lunar-based events (Easter, Mardi Gras, the seasons), so keep up with the phases of the moon with this Lunar Phase Clock. Not only does it tell time, it tells you when to avoid the werewolves and lunatics! (Ever worked retail? You know what I mean!)

So keep looking up!
