Exploring the Moon. In this exercise, we will use Starry Night Enthusiast™ to examine the Moon. Click the Favourites tab and select the Moon phases view from the Solar System
 Moon folder, and Stop time flow when the Moon’s phase is full. You can use the Zoom buttons in the toolbar to zoom in and out. You can use the Location Scroller to rotate the Moon by putting the mouse cursor over the image, holding down the mouse button, and moving the mouse. (Hold down the left mouse button on a PC.) a. Based only on what you can see in the image, what evidence can you find that the Moon is geologically inactive? Explain. b. Spreading outward from some of the largest craters on the Moon are straight lines of slightly lighter-colored material, called rays, which were caused by material ejected outward by the impact that caused the crater. Grabbing and moving the Moon around might help you see them. Print out the screen, if possible. This will give you a grey disk on which to make a map of the lit side of the Moon. (Otherwise, make a drawing from scratch). Indicate craters that have rays. Place the cursor over these craters and open the contextual menu (right-click on a PC, Ctrlclick on a Mac). The name of the crater will be found in the command “Mark crater name on surface.”
