The Moon

Find this moonscape.

James Short took this photograph of the moon over 100 years ago. He used a special photographic telescope at the Sydney Observatory and needed clear skies to take the photograph.

Look at the surface of the moon. Can you see the rocks and craters?

Imagine you could travel to the moon.

Draw what you might see when you get there. Hint: if you’d like to print the image only, right click on it and select save, then print it.
