Why should planets get all the attention? Learn about the massive collision that made our moon, Mars’ tiny moons and their tragic fates, the volcanos of Io, the possible life hidden below the ices of Europa, the massive Ganymede, the completely alien oceans and lakes of Titan, the geysers of Enceladus, the death star lookalike Mimas, the two faces of Iapetus, the backward orbit of Triton, and more. We will also discuss how moons are formed, what they can teach us about the planets they orbit, how we explore them, and any other moon-related questions you may have.
