Read the excerpt from Planets, Moons, and You. You have probably seen the moon shining in the night sky. Did you know that it is not the only one? It's true! Other planets have moons, as well. Astronomers have studied our moon and the moons of other planets for a very long time. As a result, there is a lot of information that can help you learn about the different moons in our solar system. You can even study moons from your own backyard.

Most of the planets in our solar system have moons. Our planet has only one, but some planets have several. For example, Jupiter has at least 53. Some planets, like Venus, have no moons. While other planets are somewhere in between. This table shows the number of moons that each planet has.

Astronomers use powerful telescopes to study moons throughout our solar system. For example, the Hubble is a huge telescope that can see moons very far away. NASA sent Hubble into space in 1990. Astronomers have used it to make many discoveries. They have even found moons that we had never seen before.
