Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History Calling all budding young space cadets! Join us as we head into the universe to discover ten fascinating facts about the Moon… I don't know what I watched that afternoon, but I know what I saw: humans on the moon. Here are five books—fiction and nonfiction—that recapture that wonder of that memory

Which can mean only one thing: Isadora’s birthday is going to be anything but normal!Isadora Moon es especial porque es diferente. Su mamá es un hada, su papá es un vampiro y ella tiene un poquito de los dos.
The Moon is Earth’s only natural satellite– a celestial body that orbits a planet. Its orbit around our planet is shaped like a slightly squashed circle known as an ellipse. In my opinion, reasons to go to the moon are few, reasons to stay fewer. Yet John Kessel's novel, The Moon and the Other, gives one of the cleverest rationales for settling the moon: It's a giant social science laboratory. In the year 2149, 3 million humans live on the moon in 27 distinct cultures. One culture is the Society of Cousins, where men trade political rights for social status so as to limit the potential for male violence. That society rubs up against the more traditionally patriarchal Persepolis, which has evolved from an Iranian experiment in secularism. Four characters experience relationships, love, and other disasters in a rich social comedy. The book is witty, charming, and light-footed, hitting its targets with elegant precision (think of it as a fencer's foil, while Heinlein's novel is a brass cannon). Kessel takes a smart look at the fallibility of human institutions, but also argues that there's hope in our imperfections. Her mother is a fairy, her father is a vampire, and she is a little bit of each. The day that Isadora’s class goes on a field trip to an enchanted castle, everyone is terrified. What if they see a ghost? From April into May, flowers are everywhere. In Ancient Rome a five to six-day festival celebrated them. It was in honour of Flora, goddess of flowers and fertility, and was called Floralia. As well as floral tributes there were games, theatrical performances and dancing. According to historian Ed Whalen: "Some scholars believe that the Floralia was the inspiration for the May Day Festival." Mind you, it’s also possible that everyone just wants to celebrate warmer weather, blossom and trees being green anew. Eagle landed it was 8:17 p.m. in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where I lived. Armstrong didn't set foot on the surface until nearly 3:00 a.m.Ian McDonald is a Hugo Award–winning novelist who has written books about Martian colonization , nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence . His latest series of Luna books are set in a near future where the moon is ruled by five families on a neofeudal basis. IEEE Spectrum invited him to share a selection of moon-related books that have moved and inspired him. If there is one topic which everyone on Earth should currently be focused upon it is, unquestionably, that of Climate Crisis. Indeed, it’s likely to be the main focus not just for our generation but for generations to come. And, notwithstanding the increasingly marginalised naysayers and various climate change deniers, it is a subject with which we must all engage… Su mamá es un hada, su papá un vampiro y ella tiene un poquito de los dos. El día en que la clase de Isadora sale de excursión…¡a un castillo encantado!, todos están muertos de miedo, ¿y si encuentran un fantasma?
Isadora Moon is special because she is different. But just like her other classmates, Isadora loves the ballet. Ever noticed how the Moon appears to change shape each night? That’s because as the Moon orbits the Earth, the Sun lights up different parts of its surface– so it’s just our view of the Moon that’s changing, not the Moon itself.
