Moon viewing day is on September 21 this year. You will be able to see a full moon if the weather is good. Many people in Japan will go outside to see it, and shops will sell special sweets for the occasion. But you don’t have to wait until next Tuesday to see a beautiful moon. I looked outside last night and saw a half moon. I used my binoculars to get a better view. It was smaller than a full moon, but the craters were very clear, especially near the dark side. You can see where the Apollo 11 astronauts landed if you look it up on a map of the moon. Don’t wait for Tuesday. Go out and take a look at the moon tonight. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Today is the official start of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. The opening ceremony will be held at the Olympic Stadium this evening, but the games don’t start until tomorrow. Athletes from more than 160 different countries will take part in 22 sports. I’m looking forward to seeing men’s wheelchair tennis because I’m a fan of Kunieda Shingo. I also want to see goalball. It’s like soccer, but the people who play it are visually impaired (they cannot see well). Everyone wears goggles, and they have to listen for the ball which has a small bell inside. If you want to know more about Paralympic sports, go to their website and watch their one minute, one sport videos. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
