Instruments placed on the moon during Apollo have given scientists great amounts of data, informing them, for instance, that the moon is moving away from Earth by about 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) per year and that numerous moonquakes originate from cliff-like cracks on the lunar surface. Ap...

The production of the phases depends on the Earth-moon-sun geometry and on the revolution motion of the moon around the Earth. Moving towards the east, our satellite rises later every day, and this is the reason why we see it in different positions at the same time. Approximately every da...
