Abstract: Moons or natural satellites are a common occurrence in our Solar System. Except for Mercury and Venus all planets and most of the dwarf planets have at least one moon. The Earth moon is one of over 200 moons in the solar system and together with the Sun is the largest object on the sky. With over 50 confirmed and about 30 provisional moons, Jupiter and Saturn lead the list of planets with the largest number of moons. What makes the Earth moon special in comparison to all other bodies in the Solar System, is the fact that it is the first and so far the only body in outer space humans have set foot on. With this presentation we will learn about how the Moon has formed and evolved and the history of the Moon landing.
