Phases of the Moon Phases of the Moon are not caused by the Earth's shadow. They are due to a change in our viewing perspective as the Moon orbits around us as it is lit by the Sun. ... The Earth spins in the light, so that the entire Earth gets to be lit at some point each day. Even though the Moon is always half-lit like the Earth is, sometimes we on the Earth see only a tiny bit lit, other times completely lit, depending on where the Moon is in its orbit around the Earth. ... Look at Day 7. ...

There is an ongoing battle in the United States between Young Earth Creationists and the scientific community over the teaching of evolutionary biology. ... For example, Catholics outnumber Young Earth Creationists by a large factor, and the Catholic Church has no objection to either Big Bang cosmology or evolutionary biology. ... The big bang poses a problem for young-earth creationists because it makes the universe billions of years old rather than thousands. ...

... Moon Phase below . ... ARTICLE: Why the moon always shows us the same face . ... Before you continue reading, you should know that this was not always the case, i.e. the Moon once was rotating with respect to the Earth, so that on every night a terrestrial observer (if there was one, because this was long, long before mankind appeared on our planet, and even before any major animals had appeared) saw another face of the Moon. ... Figure 1 (not to scale) shows how we can imagine the system Earth-Moon...

Guest Editorial , July 2006 . Past ? Present ? Future . ... SETI, the quest for reasonable signals from Space, is aimed at the Past. ... From here on Earth, we can say with good reason that conducting both searches (SETI) and transmission (METI) of reasonable signals, we appear poised just halfway between the Past and the Future: namely, in the Present! ... This editorial was submitted in response to Their Past, Our Future , by SETI League executive director emeritus H. Paul Shuch. ...

... This year's eclipse is unique in duration. ... Although, at the present time, there are 6 solar observatories belonging to leading space agencies in orbit around the Earth, the eclipse of 22 July, 2009, will only be seen by two of them: the Russian CORONAS-PHOTON satellite equipped with TESIS telescopes and Japan's HINODE satellite fitted with an XRT space telescope. ... TESIS will be the first of the two devices (and the very first on Earth) to witness the solar eclipse. ...

The Earth. ... The middle raiding of the Earth is 6371,032 km, the pole 6356,777 km equatorial - 6378,160 km. The Earth surface area is 510,2 mln km^2, 70,8% of which is the World ocean. ... According to the modern cosmogonical views the Earth was formed 4,6 - 4,7 billions years ago from the protoplanet cloud captured by the Sun. ... The Earth is conditionally divided into 3 parts: a bark a cloak and a core (in the centre). The external layer - the bark is 35 km thick. ... Above the Earth. ...

... xmmtrack . ... xmmtrack is an interactive IDL application that visualizes the orbit and attitude data in an ODF in the form of a 3-D animation sequence. The presented scenery includes an astronomically accurate simulation of the Earth-Sun system plus the actual and predicted trajectory of the XMM satellite on its path around the Earth. ... Please note: XMM's orbit is highly time variable and the predicted orbit will significantly deviate from the actual trajectory if the reference epochs differ. ...

Launched on February 17, 1996, the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) mission is to be the first of NASA's Discovery missions, a series of small-scale spacecraft designed to proceed from development to flight in under three years for a cost of less than $150 million. ... The ultimate goal of the mission is to rendezvous with and achieve orbit around the near Earth asteroid 433 Eros in February, 1999, and study the asteroid for approximately one year. ...
