PPT-The Moon Topographic map from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter

The Moon Topographic map from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Basic data Radius 027 of Earths Mass 001 of Earths Orbits Earth with period 273 days Revolves on its axis with this period tidally locked so one face always points towards the Earth. Interesting facts. Neil . Armstrong, . Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin . couldn’t . afford the life insurance policy for an . astronaut. The price was extortionate so the . three astronauts . decided . a ridge. a valley. g. oing uphill. closer . contours. = steeper slope. contours farther apart = shallower slope. Imagine that the red line represents a geologic contact of some sort. Given that it doesn’t parallel contours we know it isn’t horizontal, and given that it doesn’t cut straight across contours we know it isn’t vertical. Can we tell something about its orientation? .

That means that we only see one side of the Moon from Earth. . Unit 3. : The Moon. 1. Objectives. To be able to describe the phenomenon of how a lunar eclipse occurs.. To be able to apply what they already know about the moons orbit to this “special case.”. To apply what they know about the wavelengths of light to the appearance of the moon during the eclipse. .
