You’ve all seen the moon.  It’s an instantly recognizable object in the night sky, but it doesn’t always look the same.  If you are a particularly careful observer, you may notice that it appears to rise just a little bit earlier each night.  If you look closely, you may also notice that its shape is ever so slightly different from one night to the next.  And, if you’ve observed the moon up close through binoculars or a telescope, you’ve seen its craters.  Why does the moon look the way it does?
In this astronomy JAM, you will understand how impactors, objects such as a comet or asteroid that collides with other objects, leave marks on the lunar surface.  We will also experiment with Earth, moon models to see how the moon’s position relative to Earth determines its phase using a flashlight.
