He even has a beard!

Through the telescope, the moon looks close. Craters pock-mark
the thin white crescent.
Hey, the rest of the moon is there, too! I say. I can see it.
Right, says Ira. The moon is always the same size, although
sometimes it looks big and round, and other times, like tonight, we
see just a sliver.
Why? I ask.
Good question. Lets play a little game to help you understand.
By now the sky is dark Ira lights a lantern on a tripod In our game - photo 18
By now the sky
is dark. Ira lights
a lantern on a
tripod. In our
game, this will
be the sun, he
tells us. He blows
up a globe and
gives it to me and
Aravah. You two
hold the earth,
Ira says. He
gives Shoshana
a
model of the
moon. The moon
doesnt give off
its own light, Ira
says,
It reflects the
suns light.
Ira tells Shoshana to walk slowly in a circle around us As the moon orbits - photo 19
