Description
Does the Moon really have a dark side?
In this Squiz Kids Science Short, we bust one of space’s biggest myths and explain why the Moon always seems to show us the same face. You’ll find out what the so-called “dark side” really is, why it isn’t dark at all, and how gravity slowly put the brakes on the Moon’s spin billions of years ago.
We explore what the Moon’s far side looks like, when humans finally saw it for the first time, and why scientists think it might be one of the quietest places near Earth... perfect for listening to the universe.
And yes… for the adults listening along, there’s even a tiny nod to Pink Floyd.
Science, space, and a little lunar myth-busting - all in just a couple of minutes.
