Episode notes

About 384,400 km or 238,900 miles above the surface of the Earth is our planet's only natural satellite, The Moon.

Every culture and civilization on the planet has had the moon play a role in its legends, and they have also used the moon to keep track of time, plant, and harvest.

Scientists have wondered where the moon came from and how it was formed, and with data gathered over the last several decades, we now have a better understanding of its origin.

Learn more about the Moon, its origin, composition, and its role in helping life develop on Earth on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
