Addendum: I forgot to mention one of the most rewarding moments of the tour. After the activity with Canvas to the Moon, I asked the students if they had noticed something odd on the “moon/eye.” They hadn’t. I pointed out the orange “dot” on the image and asked if they had any idea what it might be? One student looked intently at the spot, and I saw her mind mulling it over. Finally, she offered that it may be a volcano. I said, “Hmmm, a volcano.” She continued, “Perhaps it was a volcano exploding on earth.” She indicated that it may be like the volcano they had seen earlier (Ascending Dragon) and that since we were viewing from the moon, perhaps Cai was right in thinking that one could see an explosion on earth from the moon.
