The Wonders of the Moon!

from Good Heavens! The Human Side of Astronomy · host goodheavens

This month, Wayne and Dan go to the moon (sort of)! We talk about the historic Artemis II mission, discuss some scientific mysteries about the moon, read some moon poetry and scripture which mentions the moon. We also, hopefully, make sense of how we see the moon pointing us to the glory of God in Christ. Image credits in the thumbnail. Moon and Earth - Artemis II crew and NASA.
