The Moon has a massive effect on our wildlife – here on Earth. How does it trigger mass spawning events? Does it lure some fish out of the water and on to the beach? Is it strong enough to pull our oceans? Find out – and you’ll never look at the Moon in the same way again!

The Eco Kids also ask questions of astronaut Matthias Maurer, who spent 177 days in space on an ISS mission. They debate whether moon mining is good or bad – and decide which of them would adapt best to moon life!

As always, our eager reporters Rhona and Rusty get the scoop on the latest wildlife news. And Amelia the Fox finds out why wolves howl at the Moon (or do they?).

Plus, our young readers can make their own mini origami stars, solve puzzles and mazes, and take part in our monthly competition to write their own Moon myth!
