A film produced by the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie's planetarium

Understand the phases of the Moon, the notion of the lunar calendar and eclipses.

The Moon, the Earth's natural satellite, is certainly the star we are most familiar with. At night, and sometimes during the day, it accompanies us. To understand its history and evolution, many space probes have explored it.

How did the Moon form? Why is it so important to our planet? Spectators observe the Moon's movement around the Earth, the phases, eclipses... They also discover the future exploration projects of our satellite.

Immediate boarding for a trip to the other satellites of the Solar System!
