From the Earth to the Moon

After viewing the clips “From the Earth to the Moon” it gave me a new perspective on film. Being a film major at Point Park I know how important it is to give rights to those who should be given the rights because that means everything in this business on who created what film. Plagiarism is unacceptable and is very disappointing to see it happen because it is a form of stealing and I believe the worst form of stealing is taking someone’s ideas and claiming them to be yours. It important to remember, if you will, the golden rule; you would not want someone stealing your ideas. After watching and learning that Thomas Edison stole George Melees’s film I felt upset for Melees because he worked so hard on creating a great production and then to have it ripped from him would be an awful feeling. Edison was an amazing inventor and did contribute to film, but stealing someone’s film and claiming it as yours is not ok. It was easy for Edison to do this because at the time news traveled slow; Melees was in France and focused on his productions, knowing nothing of what Edison was doing in American. Plagiarism was not something many people cared about and did not worry about giving people their due rights. Edison would not be able to get away with stealing…

pearl by winning the Outstanding Delegate award and being elected treasurer of the HACIA Democracy club. The rest of my pearl developed as a result of the humbling nature of my experience in Punta Cana which taught me to seek advice. Shortly after succeeding at HACIA, I decided that I wanted to make a difference in my country, which is why I founded a non-profit organization. However, this was not done lightly; I first met with the directors of prominent non-profits in…

forces applied by the moon, sun, and the rotation of the Earth are known as tides. The movements of the Earth, the sun, and the moon are key in understanding how tides work. Gravitational pull, centrifugal force, distance, and mass determine the actions of the ocean’s tides. Gravity and centrifugal force work in opposite directions to keep the ocean’s water levels balanced. As the Earth rotates on its axis, gravity pulls inward and centrifugal force pushes outward. Despite the efforts of…

The moon is the brightest object in the night sky. On some nights, the moon looks like a shining circle of light. On others, it looks like a thin, silver fingernail. The moon does not make its own light. The light we see comes from the sun and bounces off the moon. If the moon and Earth were side by side, the moon would look like a tennis ball next to a basketball. It looks bigger than the stars and as large as the sun because it is closer to Earth than any other natural object in space. But…

The moon phases are caused by the sun illuminating or lighting up one side of the moon. The sun is always illuminating one-half of the moon, depending on what place you are on Earth. That also affects what moon phase you see in The Lunar Cycle. The Lunar Cycle start with the New moon and then goes along to Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, then the Full moon. The cycle still continues on for Waning Gibbous Waning Crescent till it comes back to a New moon. This cycle continues about every 29 days…

The history of earth is hard to imagine without our moon. The moon has had an impact on the earth in many different ways. For as long as man walked this earth, the moon has affected the tides and even the metals of the earth. The phases of the moon are still used to help guide the harvest, and even help determine the time of the river floods. The moon is a place that we know little about and very few people are lucky enough to get to experience it in person. Some interesting facts that we know…

The moon has been a natural phenomena for as long as humans have been on this Earth. Even though humans have been studying this natural satellite for many, many years, and even stepping on its surface, its origins remain a mystery. Many theories have been proposed over the years, Some considered reasonable, and some not so much. There are possibilities such as the co-formation, Capture, Fission and Giant impact theories. The most accepted and reasonable being the Giant impact theory. The…

The Moon it the closest planetary object in space to Earth . It has many phases that we study in our modern day science. We know there are 8 phases that are different and similar. The phases of the Moon are made from the shadow the Earth creates on the Moon. The Moon's phases are the way the Earth casts a shadow over the Moon. It creates different places that the Moon has light. Like in a first quarter only half the the Moon has a shadow.The other side has light because the earth isn't…

Have you ever wondered why the Moon looks different on certain nights? This is justified through eight phases of the Moon. The Moon makes a complete phase cycle within a month; the exact time is 29.5305882 days. This is called the Synodic period or also referred to as Lunation. From the star's point of view, it takes nearly two days less, giving it a direct instance of 27.3217 days. This is the sidereal period, also known as the orbital period. The eight phases include the New Moon, the…

The moon has been seen as far back as 1610. The moon is a third of Earth and has no proven life on it. The moon is also the only other place beyond Earth where people have step foot on. The moon is thought to have formed after a mars size planet hit Earth. Size and Distance The moon is less than a third of the Earth. The radius of the moon is 1,079.6 miles. The moon is farther away from the Earth than people think. It is an average of 238,855 miles away. An example is 30 Earths could fit…
