Lunar Moon Phases

Did you know our Moon is about 4.5 billion years old? Or how about that it is the only natural satellite in our Solar System?

Learn about the luminous lunar cycles of our moon in this neat infographic!

The moon formed about 30–50 million years after the Earth formed. This happened from a large object colliding with the Earth and blasted out rocks.

As a result those rocks all came together and orbited around the Earth. Eventually, they all melted together like in a big heated pot, cooled down and became the Moon.

For another 500 million years pieces of rock kept striking against the surface of the Moon.

The lunar phase or phase of the Moon is the shape of the directly sunlit portion of the Moon as viewed from Earth. The lunar phases gradually change over roughly  a monthes time as the orbital positions of the Moon around Earth and of Earth around the Sun shift.

This neat visul infographic also illustrates the traditional names of each moon cycle throughout the year.
