The Moon and You

by E.C. Krupp

The moon is earth's nearest neighbor, the only other world where people have ever left their footprints. There's no air, no water, and no color on the moon, and the gravity is so weak that you could jump as high as a house. Yet the moon has a powerful pull, not only on earthly tides, but also on the human imagination.
