Make No-Bake Moon Cookies!

Scientists think the moon formed when a Mars-sized object crashed into Earth.
When the moon formed, it was much closer to Earth. It must have looked giant in the sky!
The moon is getting about 1-1/2 inch farther away from Earth every year.
The moon is bright because it reflects sunlight.
There is no air on the moon. The Apollo astronauts had to bring their own!
The moon's gravity is only about 1/6 as strong as Earth's. When Apollo astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball on the moon in 1971, it probably landed over two miles away!
