Moon

a splendid idea to put time and money into building a space station on the moon or mars, it is not the brightest idea. It is not such a magnificent idea to put time and money into building a space station on the moon or mars because not many people fly to space, the space station could mess up, and asteroids could damage the space station. First and foremost, time and money put into building a space station on the moon or mars is not a superior idea because not very many people fly to space.…

foot on the Moon, and we’ve sent probes to almost every planet in our system. Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the colonization of other planets such as Mars, and in doing so we become Illegal Aliens, unless we first colonize the Moon. The closest celestial body in the solar system to us, is the Moon, in fact, it’s our only natural satellite. Because the Moon orbits Earth, it’s considered to be owned by the entirety of the human race. On top of that, it’s believed that the Moon…

I visited the Griffith Observatory on January 23, 2016. I walked around looking everything and chose about what I write. The three things caught my attention was Center in the Universe show, the planets, and Moon Phases. First, I saw the Center in the Universe. It was an unforgettable experience because the place is arranged with comfortable and recumbent chairs. The dome shows a beautiful blue sky with clouds around. I felt literality as I was in the sky. The show started with all the lights…

The Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have flown by Uranus. This happened in 1986 and it flew past the planet at a distance of around 81,500 km. This mission returned the very first close-up images of the planet, its ring system and its orbiting moons, that how we know that…

on the Moon. Astronaut Eugene Cernan was the commander of Apollo 17 when he became the last man to walk on the moon. On December 11 1972, Cernan navigated the lunar module named Challenger to land on the Valley of Taurus-Littrow on the Moon. At the time, he knew that future moon missions had been cancelled, but when he died in 2017, he still couldn't quite believe that no astronaut had been back. It had been too long. In 1972, Apollo 17 launched what would be NASA’s last trip to the moon. Cernan…

Kennedy ready to take the challenge John F. Kennedy had issued before for America to land on the moon and return to earth. This mission was noted as the first mission that took man to the moon. Apollo 11 was the first planned landing on the moon and the last time for this specific flight of a “free- return” trajectory. The astronauts were in charge of many tasks once on the moon. They would be walking on the moon, taking samples of lunar objects, placing televising material in order to transmit…

nerve racking moment. Two... Families of Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and their crew hold their breath. One... Blast off. Cheers ring all across the country, “to the moon!” Rather to a deserted area that could serves as a good representation to the moon. There is an abundance of evidence supporting the theory that the very first moon landing, in 1969, was a hoax. The American flag quivered as if bothered by the wind and stars refused to glisten in any footage or pictures; lights, cables, and…

The Apollo 11 mission was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. The mission carried three astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, to the Moon. The first steps on the Moon were taken by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, with Michael Collins commanding the module. The Apollo 11, the first manned Moon landing, had a significant effect on America, changing its culture and carving…

When the shadow of one celestial body, the Moon or another planet in our solar system for example, moves in front of another’s shadow an eclipse takes place. There are several types of eclipses, which all depend on the shadow that is involved. There are three different types of shadows, the umbra, penumbra, and antumbra. Each type of shadow varies by its darkness and position within the full shadow. The umbra is the dark center, the antumbra is the light center, and the penumbra is the light…

challenge. The president’s challenge was to put a man on the moon. With this the United States could be victorious in the space race. Apollo 11 would show that the borders of reality could be pushed, anything was possible. The goals Apollo 11 was much more than just to win the space race. It was to explore and document unknown territory. To accomplish this Apollo 11 had a few goals. Goal one was to safely transport astronauts to the moon and back. This was especially important because the…
