Spin Around the Solar System, A: Moon Dance
The moon and Earth formed at about the same time from the same type of
materials. Ever since, the pair has been dancing through space and time
together. This program investigates ways the moon and Earth affect each
other, why they became so different, and what the future holds for the
relationship. It also covers a variety of general lunar topics such as ocean
tides, the phases we see from Earth, and the Apollo moon landings.

Space Exploration: Our Solar System
"Part I: The Inner Planets" traces the development of our solar system. It
describes the sun and the four inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and
Mars. Using video footage from NASA, computer-generated graphics, and
animations, the planets are described and contrasted. "Part II: The Outer
Planets" begins outside the asteroid belt. The huge outer planets are
presented and compared. NASA footage from satellite fly-bys helps to show
these exciting worlds. Distances in space are incredible, and even within
our own solar system, they are beyond imagination. An attempt is made to
help students appreciate these great distances with various comparisons and
models.
