Moon science app for ages 7-12 with four modes. Phase Machine orbits the Moon around Earth under fixed sunlight with a days 0-29 slider, play/pause animation, and a large what-we-see-from-Earth view naming all 8 phases in correct order with plain notes (waxing = growing). Moon Deck holds six accurate fact cards (craters, maria as old lava plains, lasting footprints, 4 cm/year drift, tidal locking, weak gravity). Apollo Story timelines the 1969 Apollo 11 landing and later missions through Artemis preparations. Phase Sort is a tap-to-order game with score and celebration.
