Then, with the Moon Phase Calendar you created above, find when the Moon will exhibit each of its major phases in the coming month. On the day of each, confirm that the Moon does indeed rise and set when it should for each phase. MORE PAPER MODELS: APOLLO PROGRAM! The same CANON web...
Firstly, based on the temporal interplay of exogenic and endogenic processes in altering the Moon, we defined three Eon/Eonothem-level units to represent three dynamical evolutionary phases. Secondly, the pre-Nectarian System is redefined and divided as the magma ocean-era Magma-oceanian System and...
Only 25% answered correctly (in prose or with a well-labeled diagram). 40% had incomplete explanations or diagrams, several simply stating: "Because the moon has phases." The remaining 35% were incorrect explanations. However, only 7% of the answers (20% of the incorrect explanations) ...
The phase diagram for bulk silicate Earth (BSE) material at the pressures and temperatures relevant for moon formation from a terrestrial synestia. Colored regions indicate where different combinations of phases are stable. Blue dashed lines indicate lines of constant vapor fraction, labeled as percenta...
Agreement is within ±7% for the great majority of the lunar phases, and larger discrepancies outside the range are mainly concentrated in the waning Moon, precisely due to the inability of MT2009 to distinguish the waxing versus waning lunar phases. Moreover, the MT2009 simulations are ...
