Lost Moon

Call to Your Tribe For most of my life I have always felt a little out of place, like I am walking around in a humans body, but that’s not who I really am.I am often the guardian of the lost and protector of the week. While this road I am on is not the always the easiest,I understand now that this is the contract I took on when I came to this life. As much as I have tried to fight it, it’s who I am. This road that I have chosen is one that can be quit lonely and this is the part I have…

Hope in the Dark: A Story of the Stars Long ago, before the night was filled with life and the beauty of the stars and moon, all was dark and empty. When the sun set and darkness rose, everyone would stay inside and hide away. All except for one, Luna, she dwelled in the darkness of the night. When all were asleep, she would go out with nothing but a candle to light her path. She would go down to the river and try to do magic by the candlelight. Luna would try and try until she passed out crying…

The effective use of astronomy enables the calculation of which day it is, the time of day, and how one can navigate from place to place. The observations of ancient astronomers over 5000 years ago led to the tracking of celestial bodies that have aided in the creation of both the lunar and solar calendars. Many early cultures used the moon to trace the passage…

The men walk silently, afraid the sound of the warning bell would be lost to them and their enemy would find them unaware and unprepared. Throughout their history the Vytakans have preyed upon the skills the Eustia woodsmen have learned and perfected over many centuries, through secrets passed down from generation to…

space research facilities, but you have no idea. Number Fifteen: Stanley Kubrick. Famed filmmaker Stanley Kubrick was filming Barry Lyndon when he decided to use special lenses commissioned by NASA. The special lenses were designed for the Apollo moon landings, but Kubrick used them to capture scenes lit only by candlelight. Number Fourteen: Inventions Galore.

made it…out from forms of a lost childish game, the image fell upon her brain: a snowflake”(291). The statement of the quilt being “almost colorless, in the moonlight”, emphasizes her lack of effort with the boys, while the memory of her own mother briefly makes her empathic towards the boys. In addition to that, the “snowflake” exemplifies her regret for sending the boys in such horrid weather conditions. Whenever the maternal representation is missing for the boys, the moon is always present,…

Nasa has sent many missions out into space. Missions to mars, venus, and also to the moon. The three most famous missions were Apollo 11, Apollo 8, and Apollo 13. There was a reason that Apollo 13 was memorable. They did not land on the moon or discover new beings, but it is remembered because a huge accident that caused all in America to lean forward in their seats and pray for a miracle that the mission would be saved and three special men would come home safely. In April 1970 the Apollo…
