The fall of 2015 is a great time for moon watching. On August 29, we get a SuperMoon! This means that the moon is at epigee - closest in its orbit to the earth. Watch out if you are at the beach, because this means the tides will be extra high as the moon's gravitational pull is strong. There is also a full lunar eclipse on September 27, beginning at 8:10 pm and going into full totality at 10:11 pm. The Moon formed some 100,000 years after the formation of the solar system when a Mars-sized planet collided with the early-forming earth. The debris from that collision scattered in three directions: some pieces condensed to become the earth as we know it today; other pieces condensed to become our Moon, and the rest were flung out into the asteroid belt. Sometimes we sill get meteorites that are pieces from the Moon. Scientists can identify them using a unique heat signature, which tells them when and how the meteorite was formed. There are many unusual minerals on the moon. My favorite is one called Armalcolite. It is named after the first three astronauts to the moon - Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.

That's my first time reading about the presence of lots of minerals on the moon. I love watching the full moon but sometimes at night it looks like scary for me and makes thinking of bad things. 7/13/2016 05:46:36 am
The earth is too dynamic to sustain a record, but the Moon is perfect I would like to visit the moon. I want to know what kind of feeling that I visit a moon. It’s a weird experience that it is one of my dreams. Since the moon is orbiting earth we see the moon phases at night. Many people see the moon differently, saying it has a face and it looks like cheese. I am the weirdest person in this world. I want to become a future astronomer. I see the telescope first, to see the moon. 11/4/2015 06:16:12 pm
I cherished this motion picture. It truly is unusual to find a single that's willing to let everything conclude. It really is like Over the Beach, the end is coming and all which is left is usually to facial area it. 11/9/2015 02:15:42 pm

The Moon shaped exactly 100,000 years after the development of the nearby planetary group when a Mars-sized planet crashed into the early-framing earth. There are numerous irregular minerals on the moon. Leave a Reply. |
