The Moon's Silver Key

Mira and Toby set their small rocket down in a wide, quiet crater and take their first steps onto the moon's surface. As they hop through the sleepy silver dust, Mira notices something shining beside a gray rock: a little silver key with a tiny star carved into its handle. Faint footprints lead the two young astronauts across the crater to a low, rounded door tucked into a hillside, a keyhole set right in its middle.

The key turns with a soft click, and the children enter a round room beneath a huge glass dome, an abandoned lunar observatory full of old telescopes, star charts and records. There they meet Grandpa Orin, a friendly hologram and the last keeper of the place, who explains that dust is slowly wearing away records of ancient cosmic events.
