We will talk about how the Earth, Sun, and Moon all work together. We'll touch on day/night, seasons, and the phases of the Moon. We'll do a demo of the phases and seasons that you can do at home, not only for the Moon but other planets! We'll also talk about viewing the phases of the Moon and Venus this month.

Recommended age: 8-13 years

You can also watch a recording of the talk here on our Facebook page (see the 'Astronomy at Home' playlist).
