Assume you live on the Moon near the center of the face that looks toward Earth. a. If you saw a full Earth in your sky, what phase of the Moon would people on Earth see? Draw a diagram. b. If people on Earth saw a full moon, what phase would you see for Earth? Draw a diagram. c. If people on Earth saw a waxing gibbous moon, what phase would you see for Earth? Draw a diagram. d. If people on Earth were viewing a total lunar eclipse, what would you see from your home on the Moon? Draw a diagram. Why were the main reasons why the idea that the Earth was at the center of the universe lasted so long? Discuss in 2 paragraphs the observations made by Galileo that disproved Geocentrism. Which one do you think was the most important? Write down a hypothesis and observational experiment to test one of Newton’s laws of motion. EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING! One of the first exoplanets discovered orbits the star 51 Pegasi with a period of just 4.2 days. 51 Pegasi is very similar to the Sun. Use Kepler’s…
The timing of Moonrise is later every day. Let’s understand why: a) Moonrise occurs when you, as you sit on the rotating Earth, turn to the point where you can just see the Moon appear over the horizon. Draw a picture to illustrate what this would look like. Draw the Earth, Moon, and you standing on the Earth to indicate this scenario. (You’ve seen my artistic skills in class, I’m not asking you to do anything better than that. Just label/make clear what is shown). Take this as Day 1.In 24 hours, you would return back to that exact point on the Earth. However, the Moon will also have moved forward in its orbit (it orbits the Earth in the same direction that the Earth is spinning). How far along in its orbit does the Moon move? That is, assume the Moon is orbiting in a circular orbit; in going from Day 1 to Day 2,               how many degrees does thee Moon move forward? Indicate (very roughly) via a drawing.b) Because the Moon advanced in its orbit, you now must wait…
Lunar Phases and Time: What phase of the Moon is it when the following circumstances occur.  Be sure to draw labelled diagrams in support of your answers. a)     It is local midday and the Moon is on the meridian? b)     It is 6pm locally and the Moon is on the meridian?
