The Moon The night of observing, the Moon was in the waxing gibbous phase. The Moon was formed when it collided with Earth as a planetesimal and now it is an object that orbits Earth. The distance from Earth to the Moon is 238,855 miles away and is about 4.5 billion years old. (How) That night at 8:15 pm the telescope was places so we could see were the Moon was illuminated and where it was dark. On the left side of the Moon their were some darker spots, were greyish in color, compared to the reset

the Sun and the moon revolves around the Earth. The moon is Earth’s only natural satellite. If you didn’t know a satellite is a celestial body that orbits the Earth or other planets. Other than that, there is more about the moon. First off, the moon radius is around 1,079 miles. Secondly, the moon’s gravity is about 1/6ths of Earth’s gravity. Also, the moon has a thin atmosphere, which makes it unsuitable for humans to breathe. Other than Moon’s features, there is more about the moon. First, there

Mercury's surface is very similar to that of our very own moon. Just like our moon, It has a dark grey, rocky surface. It is known to be quite porous and covered in many craters. It is strewn with quite a few boulders and lots of dust. Interestingly enough, the lunar-like surface layer only runs about 500-600 kilometers deep into the small planet, where it meets Mercury's iron-rich core. As far as sustaining life, Mercury is geologically dead, and according to research done over the course of years

surface-just after a ballerina made her rounds-Europa’s surface has a mosaic of crisscross patterns and deep fractures painted across its crater-free face. As the fourth largest moon of Jupiter, Europa is pushed and pulled by the gravity of Jupiter itself, and its other moons. With a surface temperature of approximately -328º F, this moon is seemingly uninhabitable, but in fact, under its mysterious frozen shell could lay an incredible landscape of aquatic life (Astrobio). Hubble’s discovery of enormous water

changed the life of these dinosaures. Just few miles away from earth a fight started between two planets called ‘Sun’ and “Moon’. The argument was about who would shine more light on earth. The argument went to the point where they started to shoot fireballs at the moon and then the moon started to throw rocks at the sun. During the fight one the fireballs misses it's target (moon) and made its was towards the earth but “apparently” there was space ship traveling the universe full of aliens and the

Analysis of “The Moon: Cold, Wet, and Breathing.” The article “Top 100 Stories of 2009 #16: The Moon: Cold, Wet, and Breathing” from DiscoveryMagazine.com discusses the LCROSS mission of 2009. This is a Moon mission conducted to search for the presence of water (Barone 2009). The mission is an important part of the ultimate goal of visiting the Moon and establishing a Moon base (NASA 2005). The article is written to expand upon what occurred during the LCROSS mission (Barone 2009). LCROSS

billion year old Moon, goes through a series of processes that are shown to be an essential element for Earth. These processes work together for the Moon to exist and to be an essential element of Earth. From different mythologies, the Moon is called different things that developed culture and language. For example, the Romans called the Moon Luna, and Selene by the Greeks. In 1609, Galileo Galilei discovered the 4 largest moons of Jupiter that orbited around another planet. The Moons are also known

project and I am so proud that we make it. Our project, this fantastic project, has a wonderful name – Project Artemis. Our goal, simply to say is to place radio telescopes on the far side of the moon, but we know, it is not simply. As project Apollo is the only successful manned space mission to the moon, our plan will reference a lot of it, but of course not the same, because the mission goal is different and the technologies nowadays is far more developing than that time. We anticipate that this

that lunar processes are much less varied and dynamic than those of the Earth. The most important source of lunar surface alteration, at least over the last three billion years, is evidenced by the Moon’s heavily pocked and cratered surface. The Moon is continuously bombarded by external objects ranging in size from small specks of dust to giant bodies tens of kilometers in diameter. These impacts are governed primarily by gravity as the solar system continues to evolve. Celestial bodies within
