People call them shooting stars, but are they really stars? Why are there so many of them coming in the next two days? How much stuff is actually hitting the Earth? How do we track all that junk, and why would we want to?

The Moon is amazing. Luna, as she was called by the Romans, is said to make people crazy (ever heard of a  Lunatic?). But who could say he or she could look at a big full moon and not feel some stirring of your imagination.

Click here to see an awesome moon viewer. You can change settings to see what the moon looks like from Earth, from the Sun, or other aspects. Click on View from Earth, and make sure the date is set for today. Is it a full moon or a new moon? What's the difference? When is the next time we will see the moon looking like this?
