The Beautiful Moon

The Moon is the Earth's only natural satellite and the nearest celestial object to us. Ancient cultures revered the moon. It represented gods and goddesses in various mythologies. Yet in modern society, it is becoming less insignificance even though the great beauty and variations it possess. I believe most people do not even bother to lift their head up to observe the beautiful moon that the universe has given to us. Below are some pictures of the moon showing off its great beauty to us.

I personally find that by observing the great beauty of the ever-changing moon, it can help me understand how beautiful it is to live in this universe, and all my worries will seem so insignificance. Enjoy it!
