Discover what we can observe, uncover our current knowledge about the Moon and understand the importance of returning to its surface!
As Earth's nearest natural satellite, the Moon holds a special place in our cosmic neighbourhood. Often considered the child of the Earth and Theia, it has captivated the human imagination for aeons. Despite this fascination, only twelve individuals have set foot on its surface.
Join Gretchen Benedix, Professor at Curtin University's School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, as she explores the mysteries of the Moon. Explore what we can observe, uncover what we've learned, and understand the importance of returning to the Moon.
