I’s night and today, the moon is not shining like it usually does, but it has a dark reddish color. Alice and Otliver are surprised. It’s as if it were a witches’ night. But Alice’s mum tells them that it hasn’t got anything to do with magic, but rather it is a scientific phenomenon called an eclipse. And she explains many other things to them that the moon does at night while the children are sleeping and during the day, although the sun shines much brighter. Because the moon is our loyal companion and always turns around us and because we’ve been to visit it and we know what it’s like!
