People have always wondered about the moon. Thousands of years ago, people studied the moon and used it to keep track of time. Later, people invented instruments such as telescopes so that they could see the moon more clearly and learn about it.
With advances in technology, people were able to learn more about the moon. In the mid-1900s, scientists sent up rockets that could explore the moon’s surface. Later, astronauts actually went to the moon. They sent lots of information about the moon back to the earth. As a result of all this moon exploration, the moon is no longer as great a mystery as it once was.
