Phases are different views of the Moon's sunlit half. What you see as moonlight is really light from the Sun reflected by the Moon's surface. At any time, sunlight shines on half of the Moon's surface. Areas where sunlight does not reach look dark, just as the night side of Earth looks dark from space. As the Moon turns on its axis, areas on the surface move into and out of sunlight. When you look at the Moon, you see a bright shape that is the lit part of the near side of the Moon. The unlit part is hard to see. Lunar phases are the patterns of lit and unlit portions of the Moon that you see from Earth. It takes about a month for the Moon to orbit Earth and go through all the phases. Check Your Reading Why do you sometimes see only part of the near side of the Moon? COMBINATION NOTES Use the blue heading to start a new set of notes. E 60 Unit: Space ScienceThe Moon's position in its monthly orbit determines how it appears from Earth. The diagram on page 61 shows how the positions of the Moon, the Sun, and Earth affect the shapes you see in the sky. Waxing Moon First Week The cycle begins with a new moon. From Earth, the Moon and the Sun are in the same direction. If you face a new moon, you face the Sun. Your face and the far side of the Moon are in sunlight. The near side of the Moon is unlit, so you do not see it. During a new moon, there appears to be no Moon. As the Moon moves along its orbit, sunlight begins falling on the near side. You see a thin crescent shape. During the first week, the Moon keeps moving farther around, so more of the near side becomes lit. You see thicker crescents as the Moon waxes, or grows. Second Week When half of the near side of the Moon is in sunlight, the Moon has completed one-quarter of its cycle. The phase is called the first quarter, even though you might describe the shape as a halfmoon. You can see in the diagram that the Moon is 90 degrees-at a right angle-from the Sun. If you face the first-quarter moon when it is high in the sky, sunlight will shine on the right side of your head and the right side of the Moon. You see more of the Moon as it moves along its orbit during the second week. The phase is called gibbous (GIHB-uhs) when the near side is more than half lit but not fully lit. The Moon is still waxing, so the phases during the second week are called waxing gibbous moons. check your reading Why does the Moon sometimes seem to have a crescent shape? Waning Moon Third Week Halfway through its cycle, the whole near side of the Moon is in sunlight-a full moon. You might think of it as the second quarter. Viewed from Earth, the Moon and the Sun are in opposite directions. If you face a full moon at sunset, sunlight from behind you lights the back of your head and the near side of the Moon. As the Moon continues around during the third week, less and less of the near side is in sunlight. The Moon seems to shrink, or wane, so these phases are called waning gibbous moons. Fourth Week When the near side is again only half in sunlight, the Moon is three-quarters of the way through its cycle. The phase is called the third quarter. The Moon is again 90 degrees from the Sun. If you face the third-quarter moon when it is high in the sky, sunlight will shine on the left side of your head and the left side of the Moon. Lunar Phases Chapter 2: Earth, Moon, and Sun 61COMPARE How are the sunlit portions alike in the image and the diagram of the waning gibbous moon? 1 2 34 View from Earth Not to scale firstquarter waxing gibbous full moonwaning gibbous 3 waning crescentthird quarter 4 new moonwaxing crescent first week firstweek second week third weekfourth week second week third weekfourth week 1 2 direction from Earth This lit portion is visible from Earth. waning gibbous E E 62 Unit: Space Science As the Moon continues to move around Earth during the fourth week, less and less of the near side is in sunlight. The waning crescent moon grows thinner and thinner. At the end of the fourth week, the near side is again unlit, and the new moon begins a new cycle. Crescent and Gibbous MoonsThink through the waxing lunar phases again. The Moon waxes from new to crescent to gibbous during the first half of its cycle. Then it wanes from full to gibbous to crescent during the second half of its cycle. The amount of the Moon that you see from Earth depends on the angle between the Moon and the Sun.When this angle is small, you see only a small amount of the Moon. Crescent moons occur when the Moon appears close to the Sun in the sky. As a result, they are visible most often in the daytime or around the time of sunrise or sunset. When the angle between the Sun and the Moon is large, you see a large amount of the Moon. Gibbous and full moons appear far from the Sun in the sky. You may see them in the daytime, but you are more likely to notice them at night. Hang on, jenn, theres more! check your re
How can astronomers see the far side of the moon?
The moon always keeps the same "side" facing Earth, which also means that the other half of its surface is always facing away from Earth. The only ways to see that side are: -- Send a robotic spacecraft to orbit the moon. Have it photograph the back side when it's there, and then send those photos to Earth when it comes back around to our side. -- Send people in a spacecraft to orbit the moon. Have them photograph the back side when they're there, and then send those photos to Earth when they come back around to our side, or else save them up and bring the photos back to Earth with them.
What was the first spacecraft to observe the dark side of the Moon?
The first spacecraft to observe the dark side of the Moon was the Soviet Luna 3 probe in 1959. It captured the first images of the far side of the Moon and transmitted them back to Earth using a radio transmitter. These images provided valuable insights into the previously unseen hemisphere of the Moon.
How were people recording the moon land if Niel Armstrong was the first man on the moon?
There was a camera mounted on the side of the spacecraft which Armstrong activated using a remote on his suit.
What country was the first to photograph the dark side of the moon?
On October 7, 1959, the Soviet Union sent Luna 3 around the moon and took the first photos of the far side. 18 of the photos were usable and they only covered about a third of the far surface.
How do you know what the backside of the moon looks like?
Spacecraft have orbited the Moon and shown us what the far side looks like. This was first done over 50 years ago.
Are there any picture of the back side of the moon?
I do not think so as it would not be possible no light for the photograph.
Are there any photos of the dark side of the moon?
Yes, photos of the dark side of the moon have been captured by spacecraft like NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The dark side of the moon is not permanently dark, as it receives sunlight just like the near side, but we cannot see it from Earth due to its synchronous rotation with our planet.
What was the first manned spacecraft to spend Christmas in space?
The first manned crew to spend Christmas in space was during the Apollo 8 mission. They were the first humans to see the dark side of the moon.
What fact does the data from the clementine spacecraft support?
that the moon has a thinner crust on the side facing earth
Why was the far side of the moon unknown until 1959?
While were always pretty sure that the moon had another side to it, nobody ever saw it, because the moon always keeps the same side facing the earth. Finally, in 1959, the Russians sent a spacecraft around the moon carrying a camera, and the pictures it sent back confirmed our suspicions ... for the first time, we could clearly see that the moon has another side, back around where we cannot see it. And that was about all we could really tell from those 1959 photos, because their quality was so poor.
From first quarter moon face what side is the shining?
From the first quarter moon face, the right side is the shining side. The first quarter moon occurs when half of the moon's face is illuminated and visible from Earth.
How much of the moon iis always lit up by sun?
All sides are lit up. Only one side at a time. There is a term called the dark side of the moon. This term relates to the fact that the moon doesnt spin on its axis like the earth does and one side faces the earth all of the time. The dark side refers not to the abscence of light but radio waves. During the Apollo missions to the moon, as a spacecraft went behind the moon (in relation to the earth) It went into whats called a radio blackout. It was called the dark side because up until the first spacecraft orbited the moon, it had never been seen by man before.
