For the last forty years people have been arguing whether if the Moon landings were real. The Moon landings occurred during the late 1960’s and into the early 1970’s. During this time the United States and the Soviet Union were in a competition known as the Space Race. The main objective during the Space Race was for one country to put a man on the Moon. The competition was getting intense, and both countries began expanding their space programs. During the Space Race and the Apollo missions NASA

Abstract The planetary system consisting of the Earth and Moon has been closely examined since the birth of man. The Moon is a scientifically important planet that preserves a unique history of planetary formation and early development, as well as recording the historical space environment and cosmic radiation for billions of years. Due to its proximity to the Earth, the Moon has also been a target for human exploration and long-term extraterrestrial habitation. Knowledge of the Moon’s characteristics

The Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos were discovered in 1877 by American astronomer Asaph Hall who was working for the US Naval Observatory at the time. Using the largest telescope at the time, the USNO 66-cm refracting telescope, he was able to visually see Phobos and Deimos. Hall on the suggestion of Henry Madan, Science Master of Eton College, used Homer’s Illiad, to name the two moons Phobos meaning Panic or Fear and Deimos meaning Terror or Dread. Phobos and Deimos being the attendants or sons

Throughout history, the moon has played a key role in legends and stories, and is often used in literature as a symbol for many works of literature. In A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, this is also true. Shakespeare refers to the moon multiple times throughout the play, and readers may notice the many ways he uses it as a symbol for many ideas, each one different depending on the character. First, when the play begins, Theseus and Hippolyta are discussing their wedding plans, one

one giant leap for mankind" was the famous quote made by Neil Armstrong when landing on the moon. This was most impressive feat of innovation in the history of mankind but some conspiracy theorist think it was all just a to political stunt. This people who think it is a hoax have no idea what they are talking about because they are either crazy or do not trust the government. The evidence that support the moon landing are abundant, these include achieving it numerous amounts of times, the soviet union

the moon, there were only two beautiful things in her life- dancing and her beauty. She knew the moon was a kind man, with his gentle eyes which turned into small crescents when he smiled, but she would never be quite good enough for him. Even though she danced and danced and danced, until the snow underneath her feet turned into a river of red, she could only blend with the moonlight, but the swan was a swan. And a swan could not be the moon. So she offered herself to the moon, to the moon who

What the Super Moon is? A super moon originally a term from modern astrology for a new or full moon that occurs when the moon is within 90 percent of its closest approach to Earth in a normal orbit, the super moon now refers more broadly to a full moon that is closer to Earth than average. The Moon's Orbit Full moons vary in size because of the oval shape of the moon's orbit. Since the moon’s orbit is elliptical, one side (the perigee) is about 50,000 kilometers (30,000 miles) closer to Earth than

“The Moon is a Lighthouse: Revisited” is a short story that relies heavily on symbolism and imagery and intentionally makes elements of itself vague enough to be interpreted in a variety of ways. The primary story is quite simple on the surface is quite simple. A mother tells her sons to bring her a river. They move the bed towards the river face a window. It is raining, and the brothers decide that the rain is good for making mud. The moon is not visible from the window however. Then, despite the

that the moon may not be exactly what it seems to be? Science says that the moon was a result of the Earth colliding with another planet, causing a rocky mass to break free from the earth and be pulled into orbit by the force of gravity. Conspiracy theorists have considered the possibility that the moon may be something more than just a rocky mass orbiting the earth. A theory that has been created regarding our moon is called The Hollow Moon Theory. This theory tries to prove that the moon may just

Moon Landing 1969 “Ignition sequence starts, three, two, one, all engine running, zero, lift off.” On July 16th 9:32 a.m., Apollo 11 was successfully launched as millions watched. Indeed, the lunar mission of the Apollo 11 was a new break through in the field of space exploration. Soon after, however, many controversies were raised on the authenticity of this event. Many critics of the lunar landing believe that this event was a hoax perpetuated to deceive the society. The debate, whether the moon
