understand more about space and especially the moon. In many of the manned and unmanned missions collected many rock samples. In this certain study they found that the moon had many magma rocks on the moon. This fact surprised many scientists because space is very cold (as we all know) and magma rocks are formed from extreme heat or pressure. The magma rocks were only found in certain parts of the moon and not in others. So we know that the whole moon was obviously not all formed by magma rocks.

The Speed of Light and the Moons of Jupiter Introduction: In this lab we focused on the eclipses of the moon Io of Jupiter. Galileo was the first to discover the four moons of Jupiter and since then astronomers have discovered the orbital periods of them‚ 1.8 days being approximately Io’s. It was also noted that these moons disappeared and reappeared at certain points in their orbit. This was because when the moons were behind Jupiter they were not able to reflect light. In this lab we had

Moon Landing 1969 “Ignition sequence starts‚ three‚ two‚ one‚ all engine running‚ zero‚ lift off.” On July 16th 9:32 a.m.‚ Apollo 11 was successfully launched as millions watched. Indeed‚ the lunar mission of the Apollo 11 was a new break through in the field of space exploration. Soon after‚ however‚ many controversies were raised on the authenticity of this event. Many critics of the lunar landing believe that this event was a hoax perpetuated to deceive the society. The debate‚ whether the moon

The moon landing‚ was it real or was it fake? The first moon landing was back in July of 1969 when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped on the moon. For many people it was a fantastic achievement for others a terrible fraud. From the first day to now there has always been conspiracy theories about the moon landing. Some believe that it never happened‚ that it was a big hoax. Some believe that we have never went to the moon. And others believe that the first moon landing was fake but the many after

Sun and the Moon Many‚ many years ago before humans walked the Earth; the Earth would stay dark all twenty four hours of the day. The moon and stars being lovers would flourish in the sky all day and night long. Back then‚ the sun would never come out from behind the moon.

Being clever and witty the sun devised a plan to kick the moon’s lover out of the sky and have the moon for him. The moons lover‚ Mahigan

The Earth experiences tides in its oceans‚ by gravitational interaction between the Earth‚ Moon and Sun. The Moon is the biggest factor of tides occurring. It has 2.2 more power on tides than the sun does. The Moon and earth apply a gravitational pull on each other‚ and since most things on earth is pinned down they stay in place. But‚ the oceans being fluid can be pulled toward the moon causing tides.And since the earth is rotating while this is happening‚ two tides occur each day. While the Sun

July‚ 2013 The Effects the Moon Has On the Ocean Tide The moon’s gravity affects tides on the earth. The sun and moon together pull on the earth’s oceans in different directions to create tides. But there are several other factors that complicate this process. Friction is the earth’s rotation and axis tilt on the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the earth. This forces push on the earth’s atmosphere‚ creating high tides and low tides. The gravity of the moon wraps around the earth like
