Moon

I decided to research about the missions to bring man to land in the moon. President Kennedy raised a goal to the United States on May 25, 1961. That goal was that before the sexties decade got ended they should land a man to the Moon and bring him back safe to the Earth. That goal was the motivation to the scientists overcome all trobles they had. The firsts paragrapfs of the article states this goal with the Kennedy own words to show the importance it has in the achievement. There were…

have a different form of light. The moon orbits the Earth, like the Earth orbits the sun. The moon we see only orbits around Earth. As the moon orbits our planet, we see that the shape of the moon changes throughout each month. This is because the amount of light that the sun that illuminates the moon changes monthly. These are called the phases of the moon. The phases of the moon are the changes in amount of moon illuminated by the sun as viewed from Earth. The moon is visible to us on Earth…

astronauts faced in outer space, but made a decision to continue space exploration. “In event of Moon Disaster” was a speech written by William Safire, for President Nixon to give in case the Apollo 11 mission to the moon went wrong, but was never actually given. The speech starts off by claiming that fate has decided that the two astronauts, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, are to be stranded on the moon, and that this shall be their resting place. It continues by commending the bravery of the…

• page 630 Our moon is the only natural satellite and it accompanies earth in anuual journey around the sun. The earths moon is unusually large compared to its partner planet. Scientists thought that when earth was forming a piece was sliced off. The Diameter of the moon is 3475 and the earths diameter is 12756, Which is about one fourth of the earths diameter. Most information of the moon come from the Apollo moon missions. Between 1969 and 1972 there have been six spacecraft landings.…

Fewer than a hundred years ago, the moon was still untouched by man and was one of the greatest mysteries to mankind. In 1961, John F. Kennedy established his ambitious goal to put an American man on the moon by the end of the decade. During the newfound Space Age, the United States and the Soviet Union were committed to a demanding competition to see who made it to the moon first; this was later proclaimed the “space race”. To America’s excitement, on July 20, 1969, American Neil Armstrong was…

Extreme Environment The Moon is our closest cosmic neighbour, and humans have been exploring it’s surface since we first developed telescopes. Though it can be fun to explore, it is far away, very expensive to go there and it is a very hard place to survive at. Different countries have sent probes that intend to crash to the moon’s surface but capture some photos of the surface before the impact. This was the first way to get scientific information about the moon, and it happened…

The Moon mass is 1/81 of the Earth's mass and the Earth's gravity is 1/6 of gravity on the Earth's surface, meaning that if you weigh 60 kg on Earth, your weight on the Moon will be 10 kg. If you can easily carry a 30-kilogram bag on the ground, you can easily carry a 180-kilogram bag on the moon. If you can easily jump on the surface of the earth to a height of half a meter, you can climb as high as 3 meters. Also, if you have a pendulum clock that vibrates on the ground 60 times a minute, it…

How does the moon affect Earth’s tides? The is not the only thing that affects the tides the sun also affects the tides. To understand how it works you need some basic information. So the first thing you should know is that as the Earth spins the water around the Earth stays at a steady level. This is because Earth’s gravity pulls inward and the centrifugal force pushing outward that is how the water stays in place but the Moon’s gravity is strong enough to disrupt the steady ocean levels by…

The Moon Didn’t The clock struck seven. The crickets took a bow and then stage left. The birds sang, a shimmering show of shouts and silence, Greeting the bees and butterflies waking the morning daisies. But the Moon didn’t hear a thing. The clock struck eight. The sun opened its arms to the dirt and sky, Its brilliance caught in dew drops and fed to the earth. The breeze zipping around and about, beckoning the fields for a dance. But the Moon didn’t see a thing. The clock struck nine.…

Paragraph 2: What are sun and moon dogs? A moon dog is a relatively rare bright circular spot on a lunar halo caused by the refraction of moonlight. A sundog is also known as mock suns or “parhelia”, are a pair of brightly colored spots, one on either side of the sun. Sun dogs form as sunlight is refracted by hexagonal- plate like ice crystals with diameters larger than 30 micrometer and their flat faces horizontally oriented. By day, with the sun, one of these phenomena (fa-nom-a-nin) is called…
