Summary: The Influence Of Water On The Moon

and sediments has shown something incredible. It contained clues to how Earth and the Moon formed as well as the history of the Sun. The scientists looked for what life would be like if humans could live on the moon. The Apollo 11 mission brought back the first geologic samples from the Moon back to Earth. Astronauts collected twenty-two kilograms of material which acquired samples of the lunar "soil," fifty rock samples and two core tubes which was found below the moon’s surface. All the samples was not composed with any water which provided no evidence for living organisms in the Moon's history. They figured out that there was volcanic activity since they

The Moon’s permanently shadowed regions haven’t been exposed to sunlight in millions, or even billions, of years. The Earth’s 23.5° tilted axis allows sunlight to reach everywhere on its surface including the poles. But the Moon’s tilt relative to the Sun is only 1.6°, not enough to get sunlight into some deep craters near the lunar poles. These regions are some of the coldest, darkest places in the solar system. Volatile chemicals that would normally vaporize and lost into space such as water become trapped in these dark regions in solid

The Apollo missions began because of political reasons not scientific reasons. There was a total of 12 astronauts that explored the moon. There were six different landing sites and they were located in the central part of the moon. This means there is much more of the moon to explore. They spent twelve and a half cumulative days on the surface of the moon, 3.4 were spent outside. Because of the different Apollo missions there we much has been discovered. Because of the studies, of the craters they were able to determine the age of the moon. They were able to learn about core and crust formation. The moon has many similarities to the earth. Through seismology studies they discovered that the moon has moonquakes like the earth has earthquakes

One primary goal of space exploration is astrobiological. Using lunar geology to determine the conditions of the early

Moreover, the lunar rocks have been inspected internationally by a myriad of scientists. As any scientist who observed the rock, they will say the lunar rock has a more consistent composure of iron oxide (FeO) to manganese oxide (MnO). Rocks from earth may appear similar, but the composition of Earth rock is far more inconsistent than any lunar rock. Korotev himself says best, “It was easier and cheaper to go to the Moon and bring back some rocks than it would have been to create all these fascinating features on Earth.” Inspected by many and unopposed, the lunar rocks

Fireworks were the first rocket ever invented in China, and the technology kept on advancing. During the World War II, the Nazi Germany saw the potential of long-distance rockets in use of war. This realization made it possible for the Germans to invent 200-mile range V-2 missile, which arched 60 miles high at more than 3,500 miles per hour, and was used to attack London late in World War II. After the World War II, the United States and Soviet Union operated their own missile programs, which later resulted as the Space Race and gave massive impact to the Cold War. The Soviet Union sent the first manned satellite, Vostok 1, into space on April 12, 1961, and Vostok 2, on August 1961, which was the satellite with first whole-day flight. Although US were making progress, they were barely catching up with the rate Russians were advancing. So in 1961, President John F. Kennedy declared a national goal of “landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth within a decade.” And within a decade on July 20, 1969, Astronaut Neil Armstrong took the first on the moon.

The moon is thought to have formed and evolved similarly to the Earth through a single or series of catastrophic heating events, according to the Department of Geological Sciences at Brown University. It is believed that the lightest element, hydrogen, was lost during the period of the moon’s formation. Researches have now used advances in secondary ion mass spectrometry to better estimate primitive volcanic chemical contents on the moon’s surface. Results indicate that the post-eruptive moon did include water. This suggests that the early moon’s formation was similar to the

The Dark Side of the Moon and OK Computer are two of the most acclaimed albums by fans and critics. OK Computer currently holds the number one position for best album of all time on the websites Besteveralbums and Rateyourmusic while The Dark Side of the Moon holds the number two position on both sites in comparison. I discovered both of these albums in 8th grade and they have stayed with me ever since. As the years go by, I continuously find more meaning within these albums then I have in the past. Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon and Radiohead’s OK Computer compare in many aspects such as their influence among other musicians and the themes present within these two albums.

“We've found particles of fresh glass in Moon rocks that were produced by explosive volcanic activity and by meteorite impacts over 3 billion years ago. The presence of water on Earth rapidly breaks down such volcanic glass in only a few million years.” Rock samples, impossible to be from earth.

In the poem ‘Moon’, Kathleen Jamie explores themes of abandonment, loneliness and disconnection. She does this by utilizing a clearly dysfunctional relationship between a mother and child. The child replaces the either mentally or physically absent mother with the presence of the moon. To explore the emotional distance between child and mother, the author uses dark and light imagery to empathize the child’s loneliness and to evoke the scene of a parent visiting they child late at night. Personification of inanimate objects illustrates the detrimental effects the unavailable mother has on the child’s mental wellbeing. The poem ends with dialogue from the protagonist, the child, pointing out that the moon is not her mother, as if to be

Analysis of Hubble ultraviolet-light images of the moon from 1999 and 2012 suggest that subsurface water sprays out of the moon's south pole in two geysers that are 124 miles (200 kilometers) high, according to the study led by planetary scientist Lorenz Roth of the Southwest Research Institute (SWRI) in San Antonio, Texas. (2013)

First, there are many reasons why the United States government and NASA would have wanted to fake the first Moon landing perhaps the most important reason is to win the "space race" with the Soviet Union. The United States government deemed it vital that it win the Space Race against the Soviet Union. Going to the Moon would be risky and expensive, as exemplified by President John F. Kennedy famously stating in a 1962 speech that the United States chose to go because it was hard. This was the height of the cold war, and the Soviet Union was watching the USA really closely, especially in matters on space travel. The Soviet Union had both the technology and resources to see every single moment of any space mission performed by the USA and NASA. Since this was a time of showing

Mars, a planet made of volcanic basalt rock as the soil on mars is like talcum powder. The red planet is a great discovery as several ask questions such as, “Is there water on mars?” Or “Is there any life on Mars?” Well after Earth was formed, Mars was the planet containing a higher percentage that is with a hostable climate than any other planet is the solar system. Outflow channels and other geologic features provide ample evidence that billions of years ago liquid water flowed on the surface of Mars. (https://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msp98/why.html) As said in the article water was on the red planet billions of years ago. But, was life? As a child growing up, not everyone would have thought this but maybe they did. We believed that there were

The structure of the Moon's interior is more troublesome to investigate. The Moon's outermost layer is jagged and solid, possibly up to 800 kilometres thick. Underneath the layer of it is a partially molten zone. (Russel, 2005). Its jagged mantle is about 825 miles (1,330 km) thick and contains many rocks which are very rich in magnesium and iron. Magma that was inside of the mantle had come to the surface in the past and erupted for more than a billion years. (Choi, 2014).

There are many astrologers in the world , but some astrologers don’t really know how the moon’s mysterious craters suddenly appeared all over the moon. So I thought “hey” “I should help out these astronomers who don’t really know who the moon’s craters were actually created” so I decided to help out these astronomers , by creating my own project which surface would be best for craters? Some astrologers say the moon’s surface has many types of material. But I will be testing out which one would be best or the the surface that looks like a moon! I am going to use a rubber and sponge ball to reenact as asteroids that are going to hit the moon from billions of years ago. To start the investigation we first need to find out how high we will drop the ball , we will drop it around my height , so about 5 feet 7 inches then we will continuously be dropping the ball in the 4 different type of surfaces such as gravel (small rocks) , flour , soil, dirt, and we will be dropping the ball five times from the same height for each surface and we’ll go on from there . And some important vocabulary words for this experiment are Astronomy, Asteroids, Gravity Diameter , height , sponge ball , rubber ball , craters , and yes it is a lot of words but guess what? It’s all worth it at the end you all are really going to enjoy this project , I guarantee it. If you don't like you'll get your money
