On the Moonby Tara, age 9I’m sure you all have heard of the moon, and how it circles the Earth. But what youdon’t know unless you are or were an astronaut is what is on the moon. I’m going to tellyou all about it though. So all you need to know about the moon will be coming from anastronaut’s view.Cindy Lynn, is going to space and we’re going to follow her. Her job is to find proof ofliving things in space. On her past trips to space, she has been listening to the radarand has been trying to figure out what has been making that horrible sound. She isready to find it.**********“We have just set foot on the moon,” Cindy said. “Now we must look for where thesqueaking is coming from.”“SQUEAKKK!”“There,” yelled Cindy. “Over there!” She ran over behind a giant asteroid that hit themoon some hundreds of years ago. She just about fainted when she saw what wasbehind it. It was a giant circular shaped ring that was as big as an airplane! She knewthat airplanes couldn’t go to outer space. So she knew it had to be........“ALIENS!”When she got back to the space station, she screamed, “Aliens have landed on themoon!”“Yeah right” said one of the other astronauts.“It’s true” insisted Cindy.“Prove it” snapped the other astronaut.“I will” said Cindy. When they got to the place where Cindy first saw the ring shapedprint, the other astronaut was astonished by the proof Cindy had shown him.“I can’t believe it,” said the other astronaut. “You actually have proof. I’ll phone NASAdown on Earth and tell them about the ring you found.”Ring, ring, ring. Cindy ran over to the phone and answered it. It was NASA from downon Earth. They said to try and look around for a more logical explanation. So whenCindy and the other astronaut went out on the moon, they tried to think of a better ideaof what could have created the giant ring shaped crater in the center of the moon.
