Family stargazing

October has two full Moons. Make a challenge out of trying to spot both of them, attempting to photograph them or sketch them. Both will be easy to see, appearing big and bright as they rise above the eastern horizon just after sunset. Explain that the Moon goes through a set of phases, taking 29.5 days to complete each cycle. Most months have only one full Moon and it’s only when full Moon falls right at the start of a month that it’s possible to fit another in before the end. Do a bit of research to find out when the next month with two full Moons will be. www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/shows/stargazing
