Ganymede, which is Jupiter's largest moon. A robotic probe was launched there about 4 years ago equipped with a drill, which will hopefully be able to drill through the ice covering the planet's surface and extend a probe into the freezing murky depths of Ganymede's ocean, which might just possibly reveal some primitive marine life there!!
This sentence is a metaphor comparing people to the moon. The moon rotates just enough so that only one side ever faces the Earth. The side that we cannot see is known as the dark side of the moon. This sentence is saying that like the moon, people often have a side of them that people do not see. It suggests that this side of people is dark and filled with secrets that the person does not wish others to see.
The moon in the days before and after a full moon appear as a gibbous moon. A gibbous moon is anything between a full moon and a half moon.
Elrond of Rivendell.
The moon letters brought out additional information. Elrond found them while looking at the map with Gandalf and Thorin one evening. They provided information on the secret passage.
Well he obviously wasn't aware of the presence of moon-letters and probably never thought to hold it up against the moon. I mean, who would? Elrond is more knowledgeable and perhaps had experience with these. I would say that Thorin is less observant and knowledgeable.
Rivendell was not central to the story of Bilbo and the Dwarves and the quest for Erebor. Elrond played a minor role in that he deciphered the moon letters but was not part of the quest. Rivendell was a place of refuge and contemplation, not a camp for war. Elrond spent most of the third age being a councilor not a hero.
The moon letters in J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" are significant because they reveal a hidden message on Thorin's map that guides the characters to the secret entrance of the Lonely Mountain. The purpose of the moon letters is to provide a clue to help the characters on their quest to reclaim the treasure from the dragon Smaug.
The answer to the man on the moon riddle is "He feels that half of his life is n life support."
The coincidence that helps the dwarves during their stay at Rivendell is when the moon comes out while Elrond is looking at the map. It has moon runes on it with extra information. This helps them along the journey to get to the treasure.
The question you are referring to is likely a riddle that goes: "What did the scientist conclude after discovering bones on the moon?" The answer to this riddle is "The cow didn't make it." This is a play on the idea that cows are often associated with jumping over the moon in nursery rhymes, but in this scenario, the cow did not successfully make it to the moon.
The map was very old and showed a secret passageway to the mountain.
Three Letters to the Moon was created in 2010.
He read the engravings on the swords they had found in the troll's hoard. He also saw the moon runes on the map.
"Moon-letters are rune-letters, but you cannot see them," said Elrond, "not when you look straight at them. they can only be seen when the moon shines behind them, and what is more, with the more cunning sort it must be a moon of the same shape and season as the day when they were written. The dwarves invented them and wrote them with silver pens, as your friends could tell you. These must have been written on a midsummer's eve in a crescent moon, a long while ago."
