Moons and Natural Satellites

The idea of sending humans to the moon originated as part of the Apollo program by NASA in the United States during the 1960s. President John F. Kennedy announced the goal of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth before the end of the decade in 1961.

In the 2008 Olympics Usain Bolt ran 100 meters in 9.69 seconds which is an average of about 23 mph and he reached a top speed of about 27 mph.

He is the fastest man in the world so no one else has ran that fast before, but im guessing an average athletic man could sprint at about 22 or 23 mph. Again that is just a guess

To patch a hole in a moon bounce inflatable, first clean and dry the area around the hole. Apply a vinyl repair patch over the hole following the manufacturer's instructions. Press firmly and ensure the patch adheres completely to seal the hole. Allow time for the patch to set before inflating the moon bounce again.

Triton is the largest moon of the planet Neptune and was discovered on October 10, 1846, by English astronomer William Lassell.

Beauty is subjective, but some people may find the moon Phobos, a small irregular-shaped moon of Mars, to be less aesthetically pleasing compared to other moons in our solar system.

Clementine spacecraft discovered evidence of ice deposits in permanently shadowed craters near the moon's poles, suggesting a potential water resource. Additionally, Clementine helped confirm the presence of iron-rich minerals on the moon's surface.

Probably the most recognizable symbol associated symbol with the traditional outhouse building is the familiar crescent moon carved into the privy door. Actually, the symbol is an ancient one, and was a sign for womanhood in colonial days and on the frontier. It's male counterpart, Sol, was either a star or a sun burst design also on the door. Since most male outhouses fell into disrepair rather quickly they seldom survived; while the female ones were better maintained, and were eventually used by both sexes. Although you can find outhouses still standing with the crescent moon, the original meaning for gender identification was lost by the later nineteenth century in most areas of the country.

Carved crescent moons and stars on outhouse doors was introduced in early 19th century America. Typically, the moon and the star together represented a unisex outhouse, while the moon alone represented a women's outhouse. A star alone represented a men's outhouse.

You should be able to easily find out this information as it is public record.

Request to know the ownership of the property in question. Its simple as that!

Lunatic means "of the moon." The word lunatic actually means moon struck. Police forces all over the country man more police officers during a full moon. The craziness may not be permanent. Think how the moon affects the tides then consider you're about 80% water.

This question does not make sense. The sun's gravitational pull has an enormous effect on the earth. The earth is 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg and is travelling 107,279 km/h, and the sun's gravitational pull causes it to continually change direction instead of heading off into space in a straight line.

When a moon's orbit is backwards, it is referred to as a retrograde orbit.

The mass of a 20 kg object is the same anywhere in the universe. That's its mass. Changing the gravity in which the mass is placed won't change the mass itself.

If you are interested in the weight, the 20 kg weight of the object on earth will show up as a 3.3 kg weight on the moon. (Kilogram can be used to measure both mass and weight)

edit 1: 'Mass' and 'weight' are different. Weight (w) is equal to the mass (m) of an object multiplied by the gravitational pull (g) exerted on that object; ie: w=mg

Mass looks at how 'heavy' something is without taking gravity into consideration

That point is called apogee and it rotates round the orbital plane every 19 years.

The moon is both cold and hot. In places where the sun shines on the surface , it can get to over 220 degrees. On the dark side of the moon or in the places that are in shadows, it can get to - 220 degrees or colder! The moon's lack of atmosphere is what causes these great variations in temperature. Without air, the heat from the sun does not get distributed and averaged out like on Earth.

The moon ! (unless you want to talk about all the man-made satellites)

You would usually find a satellite up in space, and at places like ESA, JEXA, and NASA

Note that the term "satellite" does not just refer to artificial satellites. The moon is a satellite because it orbits the Earth. Any of the moons of the various planets are satellites of those planets. The Earth (and the other planets) are all satellites of the Sun.

A satellite is any body which is attached to another body via gravitational pull.

SPOILER ALERT. In the first few episodes of the final season of Sailormoon, Queen Nehelenia, who the sailor senshi thought was sealed away, is released and tries to take her revenge on Sailormoon for imprisoning her by kidnapping Mamoru (Darien). It is during this fight with Nehelenia that Super Sailormoon receives her new transformation into Eternal Sailormoon. Sailormoon returns Nehelenia to her normal state as the child queen of the Black Moon and all seems well. In the next episode Mamoru leaves for America to do research at a university there. He does not show up again until the final episode, except to show that he did not arrive at the university because he was killed by Galaxia, the main villain, before the plane even landed. As Usagi (Serena) is saying bye to Mamoru, we meet the Three Lights, as popular singing group comprised of three high school boys: Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten. These three enroll in school with the inner senshi and end up being the female Sailor Starlights (Sailor Star Fighter, Sailor Star Maker, and Sailor Star Healer) that come to aid the inner senshi throughout the season. Seiya, Sailor Star Fighter, falls in love with Usagi. The main villain, Galaxia, is after all the true star seeds (little crystals that only sailor senshi have) in the galaxy so that she can rule the entire galaxy. In accomplishing this goal, she uses the senshi from other star systems whose star seeds she has already captured to go out and check for star seeds on earth. The minor villains underneath Galaxia are named Sailor Iron Mouse, Sailor Aluminum Siren, Sailor Lead Crow, and Sailor Tin Nyanko. Both the inner senshi and the outer senshi show up fairly often through out the duration of the season, but not as much as the Sailor Starlights. The Sailor Starlights and the outer senshi do not get along. Chibi Chibi, a mysterious little girl, also shows up in the last half of the season, along with the Starlight's princess, Princess Kakyuu, who dies during her second episode. **MAJOR SPOILERS.** In the many-episode-long final battle, all of the senshi end up confronting Galaxia at her throne in different groups. All of the inner senshi have their star seeds taken and die as Saiormoon watches, while Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn have their star seeds taken by a Neptune and Uranus that have decided to join Galaxia's side. Neptune and Uranus beat Sailormoon and the starlights up a bit before turning on Galaxia and trying to steal her star seed, only to find out that she doesn't have one. Neptune and Uranus die, and eventually the situation gets so desperate that the light of hope (Galaxia's star seed that she sent out into the galaxy before she was evil and that would allow her to be overcome in the case of her turning evil) is awakened in Chibi Chibi and she turns into a sword, which Sailormoon is supposed to use to kill Galaxia, but Galaxia cuts the sword in half because of Sailormoon's hesitation, so in the final episode, Sailormoon uses the Ginzuishou (Silver Crystal) to purge Galaxia of the evil that has taken her over. Galaxia is then charged with returning all of the star seeds she collected to their former homes. All of the senshi, as well as Mamoru, then come back to life and comfort Usagi after the final battle. The Starlights leave for their own planet with their princess, and the final episode ends with Usagi and Mamoru kissing in the moonlight, with peace achieved at last.

Ying Yang is a very thoughtless Americanization of Yin Yang. But I am sure the unwary soul who uses this pronunciation has not studied the Lao Tze or Chuang Tze or the I Ching or other such Taoist works which discuss this concept, or else they would have repeatedly bumped into the lack of the non-existent 'g'.

By the best figures, only 2-3 percent of the ocean floor has been properly mapped, at least in regards to the public domain. Certain militaries may be able to claim as high as 10 percent, but those figures are guarded nearly as closely as the other information contained in their files.

On Earth, there is more gravity than on the moon. There is no air resistance on the moon.

There are two planets in our solar system that do not have moons: Mercury and Venus. They are the two planets closest to the sun and they are both terrestrial planets like Earth and Mars. Their proximity to the sun may be part of the answer; the sun's gravity may disrupt the orbits of would-be moons. This could especially be true of Mercury, which is the innermost and least massive of the planets. It is also possible that the planets simply never experienced events that would result in a moon with a stable orbit. Venus has the slowest rotation of all the planets and actually rotates "backwards." This slow retrograde rotation would tend to drag any orbiting moon in through tidal interactions, so it is possible than Venus once had a moon or moons that crashed int the planet long ago.

We do not know how many planets outside the solar system have moons.

Because the moon is between the sun and the earth. During a new moon, you see the shadow of the moon, usually against a daytime sky, which makes the moon virtually invisible without a telescope.

The moon has no atmosphere (well, not enough to matter) and so it experiences extreme temperature changes since there's no atmosphere to smooth things out. Noontime temperatures on the moon can reach as high as 123 degrees Celsius; at night it can drop as low as -233 degrees Celsius (in the south polar basin, which is permanently in the shade).
