the Moon. The Moon revolves around the center of mass of the Earth- Moon system in an elliptical orbit with a period of one sidereal month. The proximity of the Moon to the Earth and the shortness of its orbital period make it possible to deduce the ...

The near-moon braking procedure is a key orbital control for Chang'e-6 during its flight. The braking makes its relative speed lower than the lunar escape velocity, so that it can be captured by the moon's gravity and fly around the moon. Supported by Queqiao-2 relay satellite, Chang'e...

The tidal effects also have another interesting effect on the Moon's relationship with Earth. If you look at the night sky, you can plainly see its face. However, look at it several nights in a row and you'll clearly notice that the Moon always shows the same face, no matter what. ...

Moon, Earth’s sole natural satellite and nearest celestial body. Known since prehistoric times, it is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun. Its name in English, like that of Earth, is of Germanic and Old English derivation.
Two or three times a year, the Full Moon phase coincides with the Moon reaching the lunar nodes of its orbit. These are the points where the Moon’s orbit crosses the ecliptic, which is the Sun’s path, seen from Earth. When this happens, Earth casts its shadow on the Full Moon, ca...
