After the story: things to talk about
- Tonight, look at the Moon and find the dark patches. They're in the same spot every night, the Moon never turns around, why not?
- Walk around a chair while always facing it. Notice you had to turn your whole body once to do it, that's exactly what the Moon does.
- Trick question for the table: is the Moon spinning, or standing still? The surprising answer is that it's spinning, just once per trip.
