The moon stays inside Earth’s ‘magnetotail’ for six days every month — during full moon. This can have consequences ranging from lunar ‘dust storms’ to strong electrostatic discharges. picked by Bornbad 4 months ago

The plains of solidified lava that give the Moon its quirky human-like face as seen from Earth were created more than four billion years ago. The evidence comes from an unearthly silvery-grey stone that was blasted off from the face of the Moon, perhaps by an impacting asteroid, and was then captured by Earth's gravity, prompting it to fall to ground in Botswana. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

The Moon's measured diameter is around 3,476 kilometers (2,160 miles). But apparent angular size, or the angle covered by an object, can also be important to Moon enthusiasts. Angular size depends on distance, the farther away an object is, the smaller an angle it covers. picked by cactushair 3 weeks ago

A team of scientists has detected the lowest frequency radar echo off the moon ever picked up by Earth-based receivers. In the lunar echo experiment, high power transmitter, located near Gakona, Alaska, launched high power radio waves toward the moon. The reflected signal, weakened because of the long distance to the moon and back, was detected by receiving antennas in New Mexico. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago

One of the best close-ups ever taken of the Martian moon Phobos reveals fresh details of the strange object.

The impact crater named Stickney is the largest feature on Phobos with a diameter of almost 6 miles (9 km). The crater wall textures come from landslides that formed as materials fell in the weak gravity of the moon. picked by AutumnLotus 4 months ago

A total eclipse of the Moon occurs during the night of Wednesday, February 20/21, 2008. The entire event is visible from South America and most of North America (on Feb. 20) as well as Western Europe, Africa, and western Asia (on Feb. 21). During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon's disk can take on a dramatically colorful appearance from bright orange to blood red to dark brown and (rarely) very dar... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago

The satellite, named the Chang'e I after a female figure from Chinese mythology who lives on the moon, will trace a path around the moon's poles. It will orbit the moon for more than a year, allowing it to map nearly every part of its terrain and overall structure. Schedule launch on 24th Oct. picked by carusonline 10 months ago

NASA-supported scientists have realized that something does happen every month when the Moon gets a lashing from Earth's magnetic tail. "Earth's magnetotail extends well beyond the orbit of the Moon and, once a month, the Moon orbits through it," says Tim Stubbs. "This can have consequences ranging from lunar 'dust storms' to electrostatic discharges." picked by AutumnLotus 4 months ago
