The moon is amazing! And underrated. Many of us know that the Moon pulls on our oceans, driving the tides, but did you know that it is the very reason we are here? Or that it was essential to the development of science and religion? Acclaimed journalist and author Rebecca Boyle takes Dan on a dazzling tour of our moon, and explains the ancient lunar origins of the 12 days of Christmas.
Rebecca's book - Our Moon: How earth's celestial companion transformed the planet, guided evolution, and made us who we are - is available in the UK from January 18th.
