What causes the phases of the Moon is really nothing more than the Moon's orbit around Earth, Earth's orbit around the Sun, and how this all appears from our pespective. The Moon may appear to change shape, but the bright surface you see and the 'moonlight' that reaches Earth is sun...
The Moon’s Orbit Abstract Orbital motion and the natural laws that cause it can be illustrated by the behavior of our nearest astronomical neighbor, 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 motion of the Moon is principally determined by two bodies, the Earth and the Sun. If we consider the gravitational forces that affect the Moon, we find that it is not its nearest neighbour, the Earth, that has the greatest effect, but the more distant Sun. Although gravitational ...
calendar months are roughly equal to the time it takes to go from onefull moonto the next. But the moon's orbit and phases can seem mysterious. for example, the moon always shows us the same face, but it's always changing size as how much of it we see depends on the moon's posit...
is precisely sandwiched between the Sun and the Moon. This alignment ensures the entire side of the Moon that faces us gleams under sunlight. Thanks to the Moon’s orbit around Earth, the angle of sunlight hitting the lunar surface and being reflected back to our planet changes. That creates...
with the Moon reaching the lunar nodes of its orbit. The lunar nodes are the points where the Moon’s orbit crosses theecliptic, which is the Sun’s path, seen from Earth. Then, the New Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun and becomes visible as a silhouette in front of the Sun...
Story missions are activities in Destiny that can be played cooperatively in fireteams, with a maximum of 3 players. They often have ties to the main story arc of the game. These activities appear at various levels and choosing a higher level...

The launch is only the first step in this mission, as Queqiao 2 also needs to carry out a series of important actions such as a mid-course trajectory correction and a braking operation. After it enters an elliptical frozen orbit around the moon, it also needs to conduct communication tests...
He added that the different gravities of the Earth, sun and planets all have an effect on the moon's orbit. "You have all of these different gravitational forces pulling and pushing on the moon, which gives us opportunities to have these close passes." ...
