"Immortal" Jellyfish Swarm World’s Oceans Ker Than for National Geographic News January 29‚ 2009 A potentially "immortal" jellyfish species that can age backward—theBenjamin Button of the deep—is silently invading the world’s oceans‚ swarm by swarm‚ a recent study says. Like the Brad Pitt movie character‚ the immortal jellyfish transforms from an adult back into a baby‚ but with an added bonus: Unlike Benjamin Button‚ the jellyfish can do it over and over again—though apparently only as an

penguins. Not many foresaw the radiating shine of the Moon jellies swimming in their glimmering tank. Their unique resplendent glowing bodies propelled smoothly through the water. At sudden first glance these aquatic invertebrates seem like something from outer space. Though in reality they are a very common species of jellies that live in the temperate and tropical shallow waters of the ocean or at home in an acrylic tank. Like all animals Moon Jellies have their own special features such as their

Earth’s Moon The Earth’s Moon is the most important moon in the solar system in regards to Earth and all of the living things within it. It is also the only Moon that Earth has‚ whereas other planets‚ like Mars‚ have multiple Moons. The Moon is the only other Moon that humans have set foot on‚ which helped us to understand the formation‚ internal structure‚ and history of it. The “moon’s face” is the second brightest thing in the solar system after the Sun‚ and has a dark surface in actuality

The moon The moon is the only natural satellite of Earth. The moon orbits the Earth from 384‚400 km and has an average speed of 3700 km per hour. It has a diameter of 3476 km‚ which is about ¼ that of the Earth and has a mass of 7.35e22 kg. The moon is the second brightest object in the sky after the sun. The gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon cause some interesting effects; tides are the most obvious. The moon has no atmosphere‚ but there is evidence by the United States

The new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the earth and sun. The three objects are in approximate alignment (why "approximate" is explained below). The entire illuminated portion of the moon is on the back side of the moon‚ the half that we cannot see. At a full moon‚ the earth‚ moon‚ and sun are in approximate alignment‚ just as the new moon‚ but the moon is on the opposite side of the earth‚ so the entire sunlit part of the moon is facing us. The shadowed portion is entirely hidden

As the moon orbits around the Earth‚ from its perspective‚ it comes out of nowhere‚ grows in size‚ then shrinks back down to nothing as the month goes on. Whether it’s day or night‚ the phases of the moon can be observed from all around the world. Many people have tried to understand why the moon goes through its phases. Across the world‚ there are many different explanations of why the moon changes‚ but nothing gives us a better explanation than what science has to say about it. The light from

The Great “Moon Hoax” Technical Communication The Great “Moon Hoax” Conspiracy theories based on the United States landing on the moon claim that the elements of the Apollo program and the associated Moon landing was a hoax staged by NASA and participating members of other organizations. Such conspiracy claims have been made by various groups and individuals since the mid 1970s. The most notable claim is that the twelve Apollo astronauts did not walk on the Moon. Conspiracists

Phases of the Moon: What Are They? Phases of the moon discovery: In 1609‚ the “Phases of the Moon‚” was discovered when a man named Galileo‚ was looking at the sun from his telescope when he noticed that the moon orbited around the Sun. Galileo created a telescope that could zoom in 20 times the actual distance of something. With this‚ he made an observation that the moon travels around the Earth at different times causing the moon to look different. Scientists now say that the moon is approximately

One of the most interesting theories that cannot be observed is the Moon’s magnetic field‚ and why there is not one anymore. Moon rocks Colwell 7 brought back from the Apollo age astronauts shows that at some point the moon did have a magnetic field as strong as the Earth’s at some point. From analyzing the way the rock formed‚ the scientists can determine how long the Moon had a magnetic field. From their research they have discovered that a magnetic field persisted for much longer than it should
