1 The Moon is the Solar Systems Rosetta Stone. Many of the geological processes that can no longer be seen on the Earth are preserved on the surface of the Moon, and captured by Selene. Selene provides experiential learning about processes that students and their teachers can then transfer to their study of the Earth. Please see Mr. Soos testimonial.
