... a lot of things in orbital mechanics, may end up in the path of another large object like the Moon. We've found rocks from the Moon and Mars on Earth, usually in Antarctica or the Sahara desert, so there are almost certainly rocks from Mars and the Earth on our Moon. The question is ...

Scientists do not know what the core of the Moon consists of. However, they suspect that is not a large iron one like Earth's because of the Moon's low density and lack of a magnetic field. http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/moon_worldbook.html (See CDROM) ---- Answer provided by Thomas ... /For%20Kids/KidstoSpace.html Click here Category:Kids To Space Category:Kids To Space - THE MOON

... the far side of the Moon. The far side is always pointed away from the Earth because of the rotation period of the Moon matching that of Earth's. However it receives as much sunshine as the side of the Moon facing the Earth ...

... been found in any of the samples from the Moon studied so far, and there are unlikely to be any, that we understand as life, given the almost complete lack of water on the Moon. Interestingly, when Apollo astronauts returned a camera from one of the Surveyor probes, scientists were surprised to find that microbes appeared to have contaminated the camera before its trip to the Moon.

... wrong. From a straight physics standpoint, the average adult can jump about 1.5 feet into the air from a standstill here on Earth. On the Moon that would be about ten feet or about seven times as high. What's disorienting is that, because of the lower gravity, while less than a second is spent in the air here on Earth, a full three and a half seconds would be spent in the air on the Moon. A pogo ...

... will be kept out by the quarantine process, which will be required for people traveling to the Moon. In this aspect the Moon will be much safer then on Earth. However the Moon will have its own hazards ... will always be the danger of blowouts. Spacesuits can be designed to withstand some micro-meteorite impacts, but no one can ever predict the size of the next object to strike the Moon. Vehicles can ...

The Moon is an airless, lifeless rock bathed in radiation. It is not impossible to establish a human presence there, but the concept of pollution has to have a different meaning in space. In the context of ... in the context of an environment which is far superior to the surface of the Earth for telescopes of any wavelength. In the context of lunar pollution damaging the Earth or other planets, this is highly unlikely. The Moon ...

... where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed, back in 1969, and see their footprints, which are still there today. One half of the Moon is always pointed away from Earth so astronomers might want to put a telescope over there. Wherever we land, remember that a day on the Moon lasts half a month, and then there is a half a month of night. ---- Answer provided by Derek Webber Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book ...
