This video looks at moons: celestial objects that orbit planets. This video focuses on Earth’s moon: its formation, rotation, orbit, atmosphere, temperature, exploration, size, topography and how it effects life on Earth through the tides.

Einstein once asked whether “the moon exists only when I look at it?". It was rhetorical objection to the idea that measurement in quantum mechanics causes reality to become real. But there was a time when the moon didn’t exist, and then...

You're familiar with the Moon, but it's not only our moon, depending on your point of view.

SciShow Space takes you to the moon! Learn about the competing theories about how Earth's closest neighbor formed.

Plenty of other planets in the Solar System have rings. So why not Earth?

We all know that many planets have moons orbiting them, but is it possible for those moons have little moons of their own?

In five billion years, the Sun's going to evolve into a red giant. That's bad news for Earth, but exciting for some of the worlds a little farther out.

NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has been teaching us about the moon for a decade now, and it's still going! What we’re learning from it will make space exploration and future moon missions much easier for future astronauts.

There's still a lot we don't know about the moon!
