We have been studying the moon in class.  I know that the moon rotates around 
the Earth and we only see the same side.  Therefore, as the moon rotates, the 
sun's temperature would be extremely hot on the USA flag.  What kind of damage 
results in the hot temperatures hitting the side of the moon we see?
