The Moon's gravitational pull creates Earth's ocean tides, affecting coastal ecosystems and marine life cycles worldwide.
Only 12 humans have ever walked on the Moon's surface, all during NASA's Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972.
The Moon is gradually moving away from Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, making days longer over geological time.
