The full Moon as we see it from Earth. The big dark patches are called seas (maria), but there is no water in them: they are plains of old lava. The crater near the bottom with lines spreading out from it is Tycho, and its bright rays are easy to spot with binoculars. Color the seas dark grey and the rest light grey, or use any colors you like.

Moon facts for kids

  • We always see the same side of the Moon, because it spins once each time it goes around Earth.
  • Twelve astronauts walked on the Moon between 1969 and 1972.
  • The Moon has no air, so the astronauts’ footprints are still there.
