✨❤️Hi Friends ❤️✨ Today we can gather some knowledge about Moon 🌝.
The Moon takes an average of 29.32 days to orbit the Earth in an elliptical orbit. The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384,403 km. is Due to gravitational locking the Moon always points one side towards the Earth; On this side there are many volcanic plains between the bright highlands and the craters. The Moon is the second brightest celestial object (after the Sun) that appears in the Earth`s sky every day. Although it looks very white, its surface is actually dark; Slightly brighter than azubalt.
The Moon has had a profound influence on the cultural elements of human society (literature, calendars, art, deities) since ancient times due to its apparent visibility from Earth and its irregular crescent cycle. The moon's gravitational pull is responsible for the dilation and lengthening of the day. Because the moon's orbit is thirty times the diameter of the earth, the size of the sun and the moon appear to be the same in the sky. This is very fortuitous. Thus, during a total solar eclipse, the sun is completely covered by the moon. The direct distance between the Earth and the Moon is currently increasing at a rate of 3.82±0.07 cm per year; But this rate of increase is not constant.The Moon is the only celestial body that non-terrestrials have set foot on. The Soviet Union's Luna program landed the first unmanned spacecraft on the moon in 1959; The only manned mission to date was the United States' NASA's Apollo program; The first humans to orbit the moon were American astronauts on Apollo 8 in 1968. Between 1969 and 1972 six missions landed on the moon. The first man to land on the moon was Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11. More than 380 kg of lunar rocks have been mined through these projects. With these, the origin, infrastructure and geological history of the moon are studied.
After the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, only unmanned spacecraft were sent to the moon. Chief among these are the lunar orbiter programs: since 2004, Japan, the People's Republic of China, India, the United States, and the European Space Agency have sent spacecraft into lunar orbit. Through these, they discovered that lunar water resides in permanently dark craters at the moon's terminals (poles). Two probes have been launched since Apollo: the Soviet Union's final Lunocode program in 1973; Posted by Jade Rabbit on December 14, 2013 China's current Song E3 project.Water on the Moon was first detected by ISRO's Chandrayaan-1 mission using NASA's instrument.
Alberto Sall, a geochemist at Brown University in England, spent several years trying to dispel the common claim that "the Moon was born dry" and discovered that the water formed deep inside the Moon is similar to the source of water on Earth. His study suggests that the Moon captured a solid water supply from Earth when the planet formed from a cataclysmic collision 4.5 million years ago.[2]
In the 1970s, Sal and his team conducted a study with water from two lunar rocks brought back by the Apollo astronauts, according to the May 9 issue of Science. These rocks are likely the result of volcanic eruptions early in the Moon's life that pushed buried lava into the surface, and consist of tiny bubbles of dark lava bound together by crystals that prevent water from escaping into the atmosphere.Artifacts represent the distinct phases of the moon visible each day.
