Our moon is my favourite thing in the universe. I feel hugely connected to this huge and silvery celestial beauty. There is plenty of folklore out there to suggest that other women feel a similar connection to Luna – and let’s be real, I find the concept hugely compelling and love referring to myself as a Moon Goddess – but there is far more about Earth’s lone satellite that piques the interests of all humans. Luna is the brightest object in our sky that won’t blind you if you gaze upon it for hours on end (as an amateur astronomer, this is something I do fairly frequently… now I’m lucky to have a telescope with a moon filter, which is even better!). It is the only planetary body other than Earth that any humans have ever stood upon. It drives our tides and potentially helped jumpstart life on earth; others believe the moon impacts everything from criminal activity to mental health.
