Morning Starters: Autumn 2 - Marvellous Moon
Did You Know?
The Moon exists because a planet the size of Mars collided with the early Earth billions of years ago. The crash sent rock and debris into space, where it clumped together to form the Moon. In its early existence, the Moon was a fiery place with active volcanoes spewing lava. Over time, it cooled into the rocky and quiet companion we now see in the night sky.
