What's the moon?

February 01, 2021 • Brandon and Matt • Season 1 • Episode 8

We’re getting lunar, folks. In this episode, Matt asks Brandon what the moon is and why it gets bigger and smaller every month (it doesn’t). We’ll talk about how the moon formed, why its phases happen, and the etymology of the word “month”. #doubleSmokes!
