Bill Nye the Science Guy
S01E11 The Moon
Join the insightful Bill Nye as he uncovers both ancient and modern mysteries of the Moon. Experience the lunar cycle, where the Moon alternates between growing larger (waxing) and smaller (waning) roughly every 30 days, giving rise to the term "month." As Earth's closest celestial neighbor and one of the most examined bodies in our solar system, we’ve learned that Moon rocks contain high levels of calcium and aluminum, and its surface is dotted with over a million craters. Discover how the Moon reflects sunlight, creating its phases, while Earth orbits the Sun and the Moon circles our planet. Observe the Moon's transformation each night as it waxes, wanes, and occasionally vanishes from view.
