It takes the Moon about 27 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes, and 11.6 seconds to go all the way around the Earth and return to its starting position. The Moon is 4.5 billion years old. That is very old. To see which way the moon travels looking down from the north pole, we would see the moon orbiting counterclockwise from west to east. Did you know the moon is about 250,000 miles from Earth.

The Moon's Surface

Because of the Apollo missions we learned a who lot about the surface of the moon. The moon is littered with craters, which are formed when meteors hit its surface. Believe it or not it is not uncommon for debris to crash into the moon, it happens all the time.Besides craters, geologists have noticed cinder cone volcanoes, lava tubes and old lava flows, which indicate that the moon was volcanically active at some point.The moon has no true soil because it has no living matter in it. Instead, the "soil" is called regolith. Astronauts noted that the regolith was a fine powder of rock fragments and volcanic glass particles interspersed with larger rocks.

Apollo missions
The United States space program, NASA, decided to go to the moon in 1969 and they called it the Apollo Program. They also wanted to get there before the Russians. The Program had a rough start because many people did not want anything to do with the moon. But the very first mission, Apollo 1, exploded on lift off and killed the crew of three. After that missions 2-6 were unmanned test orbits. Missions 7-10 were manned test orbits and actually reached the moon but did not land. Apollo 11 was the very first mission to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, who never walked on the moon, he stayed in the command module orbiting the moon. Apollo 13 was the next important mission, The Successful Failure. They were not able to land on the moon because there was an explosion in the oxygen tanks in the service module, almost costing the crew their lives. They just orbited and returned safely to earth. Many people did not want to try another mission but NASA said it would not stop them. There were 17 Apollo missions total and lasted until 1972. NASA is planning to go back in the near future.
