Mercury, like the moon, is peppered with impact craters, the largest being the Caloris basin at 1550 km across. However, due to Mercury having a greater gravity than the moon, the ejecta blankets around these craters tend to be smaller than their lunar counterparts. The inter-crater plains are what is left of the surface predating the cratered terrain. They are distributed fairly evenly across the surface of the planet. The smooth plains are large flat areas similar to the lunar maria (basaltic

Paragraph 1: The moon has different phases during its orbit around earth. Each phases have a name. At the very beginning of the orbiting stage it is called a new moon. When it’s a new moon the moon is not visible has the sun’s light is on the other side which we can not see. The next phase is a waxing crescent the moon as a little part that is visible in this stage. The waxing crescent looks like a skinny banana. After the waxing crescent is the first quarter. At this point half of the moon is visible

The "Moon Hoax" has been around since 1835, when the New York Sun printed an article about this whole ordeal. The New York Sun used and credited Sir John Herschel, who was a British Astronomer. Herschel claimed that he had tried out a new type of telescope on the Cape of Good Hope in January of 1834. While in Cape Town, he said he'd set up an Observatory. Using this, he claimed to have observed what he thought of as the "Real" Moon. He claimed to have seen vegetation, bodies of water, and living

Composition 5 Dec 2016 Why Haven’t We Been Back to the Moon Has it ever occurred to you that the moon is alien based and that is why we haven’t been back to the moon? NASA has known for years that aliens inhabit the moon. The aliens have used the dark side of the moon to establish a base, develop landing areas, create buildings, and towers of various sizes and shapes, and to monitor life on earth. NASA claims that they have not been back to the moon because they simply don’t have the funding. How true

The Unknown: Kennedy’s Efforts to Send Mankind to the Moon On September 12, 1962, President John F. Kennedy gave a speech to students and faculty at Rice University about the expansion of the space program. He spends the bulk of his speech explaining the situation that the nation was in and the reasoning behind the allocation of increased funds to National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Through his incorporation of ethos, pathos, and logos with other rhetorical devices, President John

Lunar mission, such as traveling to the moon, has been under debate for decades. President Obama suspended any human lunar missions to outer space, including the Moon. People say there are two sides to any story, espeically, human in outer space and the Moon. Sanjeev believes that the United States should reinstate the moon and other lunar missions; also, he believes that human, not robotic probes, should be the exploring the Moon. Ontheotherhand, Midori believes that lunar missions should be suspended

In Heinlein’s the Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Luna (the moon) is arranged by the Authority (the earth) as a prison for those who have been deemed as criminals back on earth. Once one has been sent to Luna, their bodies are incapable of readjusting to survive earth due to gravity (except for Mannie who is trained to withstand the difference). Women’s positions in the Moon is a Harsh Mistress comes across as unrealistic due to the rationale Heinlein uses to describe the historical relevance of the women’s

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

The night sky is something that has captivated man since the beginning of time. In Sappho’s poem “Moon,” Sappho uses the full moon, stars, and the night sky to show that happiness, like a full moon, is infrequent and momentary. Sappho’s first word in the poem, “stars,” immediately sets the scene and tells the reader this poem is about the night. The word “stars” (line one) also shows that the poem takes place during a clear night. Stars typically dominate the night sky, and the word itself often
