In this episode you will learn all about the moon's phases.
You have probably seen that the moon changes shape. These "changing shapes" are also known as the phases of the moon. The phases happen because the moon is constantly moving around the Earth. The part of the moon lit up by sunlight changes as the moon moves around the Earth each day or night. I hope you enjoy listening to why you can see the moon as it is and when you look at it next time you'll know something new.
This is part 6 of the new series on Space based on the book "The Mysteries of the Universe" that I will be reading for this summer. This episode is about the Constellations.
THE MOON
Gaze up at the moon on a clear night and you'll be looking at an object that has billions of years of history etched into it's surface. It's craterd landscape tells the story of countless astroid and comet impacts long ago in the lifetime of the solar system. but how did this ball of rock end up orbiting earth? that is something all scientists are confused about even today. there is a theorie that there was a second planet and that planet blew up or whatever I said in the audio, and when that planet blew up, some parts went flying into space and some parts stayed. those parts that stayed fused together and became the moon.
When the moon is farthest away from earth, you could fit seven different planets in the space between.
My question is "How did all these planets fuse up to be a sphere?"

There are a few new words in this poem that I looked up.
Halcyon sea - It means peaceful sea.
Vair - This is a type of squirrel fur.
Dias - A raised platform in a large room that people stand on to speak in front of an audience.
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a water'd shoot;
My heart is like an apple-tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me a dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.
I ate a chili pepper
One a lunch-time dare;
Sandy said I’d burn my mouth,
But I didn’t care.
I ate that chili pepper—
Left not a seed to waste—
And won that truly silly bet,
But lost my sense of taste.
Five little chickens want breakfast and they are asking their mother for seeds, worms, slugs and rocks.
I've read it and I've said it and now I'll share it with you.
You can say cluck but don't say MOO!
Happy Spooky Halloween! This is a poem about Halloween by Jacey Vantimmeren, and it is also Halloween today. Happy trick or treating.
This is a short poem about a girl/boy looking out of his window and telling us what he sees. He tells us about the boats, lights and other things he sees.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The lights from the parlour and kitchen shone out
Through the blinds and the windows and bars;And high overhead and all moving about,
There were thousands of millions of stars.
There ne’er were such thousands of leaves on a tree,
Nor of people in church or the Park,
As the crowds of the stars that looked down upon me,
And that glittered and winked in the dark.
The Dog, and the Plough, and the Hunter, and all,
And the star of the sailor, and Mars,
These shone in the sky, and the pail by the wall
Would be half full of water and stars.
They saw me at last, and they chased me with cries,
And they soon had me packed into bed;
But the glory kept shining and bright in my eyes,
And the stars going round in my head.

This poem is about a centipede telling James (in the book James and the Giant Peach) how the centipede eats. I wish I could eat everything the centipede eats but I'm sure my stomach will hurt. Maybe I'll stick to the peach!
‘I’ve eaten many strange and scrumptious dishes in my time,
Like jellied gnats and dandyprats and earwigs cooked in slime,
And mice with rice – they’re really nice
When roasted in their prime.
(But don’t forget to sprinkle them with just a pinch of grime.)
‘I’ve eaten fresh mudburgers by the greatest cooks there are,
And scrambled dregs and stinkbugs’ eggs and hornets stewed in tar,
And pails of snails and lizards’ tails,
And beetles by the jar.
(A beetle is improved by just a splash of vinegar.)
‘I often eat boiled slobbages. They’re grand when served beside
Minced doodlebugs and curried slugs. And have you ever tried
Mosquitoes’ toes and wampfish roes
Most delicately fried?
(The only trouble is they disagree with my inside.)
‘I’m mad for crispy wasp-stings on a piece of buttered toast,
And pickled spines of porcupines. And then a gorgeous roast
Of dragon’s flesh, well hung, not fresh –
It costs a pound at most,
(And comes to you in barrels if you order it by post.)
‘I crave the tasty tentacles of octopi for tea
I like hot-dogs, I LOVE hot-frogs, and surely you’ll agree
A plate of soil with engine oil’s
A super recipe.
(I hardly need to mention that it’s practically free.)
‘For dinner on my birthday shall I tell you what I chose:
Hot noodles made from poodles on a slice of garden hose –
And a rather smelly jelly
Made of armadillo’s toes.
(The jelly is delicious, but you have to hold your nose.)
‘Now comes,’the Centipede declared,’the burden of my speech:
These foods are rare beyond compare – some are right out of reach;
But there’s no doubt I’d go without
A million plates of each
For one small mite,
One tiny bite
Of this FANTASTIC PEACH!’
