About
This is an interactive app for children that locates the Moon (any time of the day, even below horizon), which unlocks current lunar data (phase, distance, etc), and then presents the user options for reading a "Moon" related story, view space agency photos and videos, and/or fun facts about the Moon. Our goal is edutainment and raising awareness about lunar missions around the world.
The Moon has been a central part of our culture as human beings and we continue to unlock scientific evidence of how the Earth formed. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, brings us spectacular views and new science data from our nearest celestial neighbor. The LRO instruments return global data, such as day-night temperature maps, a global geodetic grid, high resolution color imaging and the moon's UV albedo.
