The moon

The moon is the only celestial body in the entire universe that humans have ever touched. It is far away and difficult to reach, but it has been possible to get there and at some point in time some of us might even call it their new home.

According to the latest scientific research the moon was built approximately 4,5 billion years ago, when another celestial body of the size of Mars hit our mother earth. A catastrophic impact, but somehow the earth itself has given birth to that fascinating satellite that countless living beings have marveled at for aeons and which is likely to orbit our planet far beyond the point of extinction of the human race.

During the lifetime of any creature inhabiting plant earth, the moon will be always be there, being stable and reliable, with oscillating lunar phases reminding us at the never ending but ever evolving cycles that seem to be the fundamental pattern even beyond our current universe.
