10 Facts About The Moon

This the moon in the sky. And now 10 facts about this thing we call the moon. 1. The moon is about 1/4 the size of the Earth. 2. From Earth, we always see the same side of the moon; the other side is always hidden. Thus we only see 59% of the moon's surface. 3.The moon rotates at 10 miles per hour compared to the earth's rotation of 1000 miles per hour. 4. When Alan Sheppard was on the moon, he hit a golf ball and drove it 2,400 feet, nearly one half a mile. 5.The multi layer space suits worn by the astronauts to the moon weighed 180 pounds on earth, but thirty pounds on the moon due to the lower gravity. 6. We all know there was a man on the moon, but did you know that there is one who stayed there? Dr. Eugene Shoemaker, a Geological Surveyor, who educated the Apollo mission astronauts about craters, never made it into space himself, but it had always been one of his dreams. He was rejected as an astronaut because of medical problems. After he died, his ashes were placed on board the Lunar Prospector spacecraft on January 6, 1999, which was crashed into a crater on the moon on July 31, 1999. The mission was to discover if there was water on the moon at the time, but it also served to fulfill Dr Shoemaker's last wish. 7. The Moon takes about 27 days. (27 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes, 11.6 seconds) to go all the way around the Earth and return to its starting position.The Moon's orbit around the Earth is a slightly squashed circle called an ellipse. 8. The Moon is 4.5 billion years old. 9.The Moon is about 250,000 miles (384,400 kilometres) from Earth. 10. Lunar Halo is a ring around the Moon. A lunar halo is caused by light refracted through ice crystals in cirrus clouds. These six sided ice crystals refract the light at a 22 degree angle, almost always producing a halo that is 22 degrees in diameter. Thank you for watching this video.
