Most of the earliest recorded calendars were Lunar calendars, which based time from one new moon to the next. With the contribution of the Lunar, Gregorian, Roman, Egyptian calendars we have the calendar we…

William Shakespeare’s complex use of imagery and symbolism is what drives his work from being a rudimentary play to an artistic expression of emotions. A typical play from Shakespeare often holds love and romance as a central theme, which applies to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. On the surface, A Midsummer Night’s Dream portrays itself as a romantic comedy combined with mystical works and lover’s desires, all of which is played under the moonlight.

again. There’s approximately a twenty-nine and a half day period for the moon phases. A while ago when I was in middle school I had briefly learned about the Apollo missions but we didn’t go in depth with them. After reading about the majority of them, I learned more interesting information that really caught my attention. After each Apollo mission, astronauts and other crew from NASA had to continuously improve their equipment and instruments. Not to mention their space crafts also needed…

Such social repercussion brought up a perspective that Apollo 13, one of the most well-known explorations of…
