The Moon
Surely you’ve heard of this one. Big, pockmarked, definitely not hollow? Earth’s moon is sometimes known by its Latin name, Luna, but its proper English and astronomical designation is simply Moon.
It’s been visited multiple times—in fact there’s a rover on it right now—but it’s bound to get a whole lot more interesting with the upcoming Artemis missions, which will see human astronauts return to our only satellite.
The Artemis missions are likely to teach us a lot about the geologic history of the Moon, considering how much technology has progressed since the last lunar samples were collected. There are also plans to build a Lunar Gateway space station on the satellite, paving the way for future space exploration. Thanks, Moon!
