Once in a supermoon...Skies over the world were lit up last night by the largest moon for 20 years as it reached closest point in its orbit of the Earth Last night it was just 221,765 miles from Earth. This year there are five supermoons, two new moons in January and full moons in July, August and September. The spectacular glow created by the bright moon sparked a deluge of comments on Twitter over night.

- From the New Moon on, the Moon is waxing. From the Full Moon on, the Moon is waning. Lots of calendars note the New and Full Moons. If you have a calendar like that, or know the dates of the New and Full Moons, you’re set.

Astronomy Answers AstronomyAnswerBook: The Moon The Moon that we sometimes see during the day is the very same Moon that we sometimes see at night. We can only ever see the same side of the Moon, whether we see the Moon during the day or during the night. The dark regions that one can see on the Moon at night can also be seen during the day.

Moon FAQ Answer: Every side on the moon experiences day and night. Since the moon rotates on its axis once each month (see previous question), any given location on the moon would see a day about two weeks long, followed by a night of the same length.

New Moon tonight!! New Moon tonight!! The Sun and Moon will conjoin tonight in Aries at around midnight EST, making this a New Moon. Aries is the sign of initiation and courage, and as first sign of the zodiac it rules over fresh starts and new beginnings. The New Moon is the beginning of a new solar cycle, so the New Moon in Aries has a particularly strong energy for moving forward into new ventures with energy and enthusiasm.

- Although the moon and the seven bright objects will all be visible in one night, they won't all appear at the same time or in the same region of the sky. The best time to catch sight of the cosmic parade will be between February 28 and March 7.

Blue Moon: What Makes Tonight's Event So Special There's a reason why once in a blue moon is a saying and tonight will prove it. A blue moon is defined as any time there is a second full moon during a calendar month, according to NASA. While most years have 12 full moons, this year has 13. Don't let the name fool you, though. Blue moons are very rarely blue.

NASAâs New Horizons Spacecraft Sends Signal From Pluto to Earth This is what you can expect NASA to release to the public today. By design, communications from New Horizons ended at 11:17 p.m. the night before, and as planned, the craft remained out of contact for almost 22 hours as it took pictures and collected bountiful other measurements of Pluto and its five moons.

- Over beers with colleagues one moonful night, Dr. Christian Cajochen at the Center for Chronobiology in Basel, Switzerland pondered whether the Moon’s phases might affect sleep patterns. Years earlier his group had examined how the brain ’s daily circadian clock influenced sleep.

- The Moon is the only place in our solar system, other than Earth, where humans have visited. On July 20, 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin landed the Lunar Module of Apollo 11 on the Moon's surface.he Moon is like a desert with plains, mountains, and valleys. It also has many craters, which are holes created when space objects hit the Moon's surface at a high speed. There is no air to breathe on the Moon. Recently water ice was discovered at the poles (or top and bottom) of the Moon.

- My conspiracy theory for this report is that we never went to the moon. The whole dang thing was faked. When I had first heard of this idea, I though [sic] to my self that it was a load of rubbish. Of course we went to the moon Kept going through my mind.his web page is based on a typical The Moon Shots Were Faked web page authored by Kevin Overstreet (his version last updated 1-26-99). His original text when used is primarily in white except for any links and some red highlights. My comments will be found in this color.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions about the night sky and a very rewarding ah-ha! moment for the participants.

- November 3, 2014 at 1:23 am. There are also people who don’t claim to know one way or the other. I watched the first Apollo MANNED Moon Landing on television in 1969, and I fully accepted it for over 20 years. I question why NASA and even this lady almost always use textbook invalid reasoning to try to claim proofs.

- The moon goes around the earth. The earth (with the moon going around it) goes around the sun. In cosmological terms, the earth and moon are close neighbours, and that's easy to spot by the fact that there were some magnificent moon landings by Nasa astronauts in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Why Is NASA Covering Up The Real Reason We Have Never Returned to the Moon? Lunar UFOs. In the 1970s, two ex-NASA specialists said that NASA astronauts had repeatedly told the space administration that they had seen aliens on the surface of the moon. One expert named Marchant claimed in a 1978 book that a couple of UFOs were hovering in the area just before Apollo 11 made the famous landing.

- we would have no days. 'Rotation' usually has to do with the Earth about its own axis. Mercury does not rotate about its own axis, it always has the same face to the Sun. … It is thus called a Dead Planet. Our Moon does the same. It always has the same face towards the Earth. The opposite side is called the Dark Side of the Moon. If the Earth did not rotate about its own axis this would effect daily weather patterns and the Jet Stream.

Look Up: Tonight, 'Supermoon' Is Closer To Earth And tonight, we're in luck. We will have moon closest to the Earth at the exact moment, or within a minute or two of when it becomes full, says Andrew Fraknoi at Foothill College in Los Altos, Calif., and senior educator at the Astronomical Society of the Pacific.

Is Nasa secretly planning to go back to the moon? Expert says agency will mount lunar mission before going to Mars The last humans to go to the moon were Gene Cernan (pictured) and Jack Schmitt on the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972. Since then, in more than 40 years, no astronauts have even left Earth orbit-leading some to suggest that a mission straight for Mars is too big a leap, even for Nasa.

Could a Moon Have Moons? Astronomers can say with near certainty that there are no moons with moons in our solar system. But that doesnt mean its physically impossible. After all, NASA has successfully put spacecraft into orbit around our moon. Although astronomers have spotted some asteroids with moons, a parent planet's strong gravitational tug would make it difficult for a moon to retain control of its own natural satellite, says Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the nonprofit SETI Institute.
