The Moons of Jupiter

[David (Felderswynne)]

Just a thought, I do not know the mechanism of the MOJ, but I wondered, could it be adapted as a teaching device? Could one modify the trick to change from a full moon to a crescent moon? If you could devise a trick that went with it say one that shows the effects of the moon on the tides. Or, adapt it to fit an interesting discussion about Jupiter's moons?

That is an interesting premise. Especially if you can modify he trick AND develop the patter to go with a learning routine.

I figure you'd have to make 4 new disks to make h look like actual phases of the moon and not a yellow waning and a red waxing, etc

I'm curious to know how this would turn out as it sounds completely do-able
