Once upon a time, when the Sun was still building our solar system into the wonderful home that it is today, the planets Gaia and Theia were dancing together. They loved each other so much that they danced closer and closer and closer until one day, they became one. Merging and mixing together, the power of their love created our beautiful moon Selene. And to this day our sister moon Selene keeps watch over her Mothers and all life on Earth.
