🌕The Moon🌒

Star gazing at Earth's only natural satellite

Earth's Moon is the only place beyond Earth where humans have set foot.

Every beginner should start by admiring the moon with an unaided eye. Just go outside at night and stare at the universe and think about what you see. You may feel disappointed at first, thinking that you are not seeing much, but just like with any other hobby, stargazing also requires some practice, and you will get better with time.

Earth's Moon is the fifth largest of the 200+ moons orbiting planets in our solar system.

Earth's only natural satellite is simply called "the Moon" because people didn't know other moons existed until Galileo Galilei discovered four moons orbiting Jupiter in 1610.

If you want to take this newfound hobby seriously, you must learn more about astronomy in general. You do not have to become an expert in the field, but knowing what to look for in the sky is a great way to develop your skills and will give you a sense of accomplishment. It is easy to grab your binoculars or telescope and stare at the stars up close, but it will be even better when you know some of the constellations and can observe them.
