The Moon is  Earth ’s sole natural  satellite  and nearest large celestial body. It is a spherical rocky body, probably with a small metallic core, revolving around Earth in a slightly eccentric orbit at a mean distance of about 384,000 km (238,600 miles). Its equatorial radius is 1,738 km (1,080 miles). Because of the Moon’s small size and mass, its surface gravity is only about one-sixth of Earth’s.

Space colonization, on the Moon or elsewhere, is widely debated. Some argue that humans have a moral duty to save our species from extinction, and space colonization is one way of doing so. Others argue that living in space is science fiction and that we should concentrate on improving life on Earth instead of potentially ruining another planet or moon.

Moon , Earth ’s sole natural satellite and nearest large celestial body. Known since prehistoric times, it is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun . It is designated by the symbol ☽. Its name in English , like that of Earth, is of Germanic and Old English derivation.

The Moon’s desolate beauty has been a source of fascination and curiosity throughout history and has inspired a rich cultural and symbolic tradition. In past civilizations the Moon was regarded as a deity, its dominion dramatically manifested in its rhythmic control over the tides and the cycle of female fertility. Ancient lore and legend tell of the power of the Moon to instill spells with magic, to transform humans into beasts, and to send people’s behavior swaying perilously between sanity and lunacy (from the Latin luna , “Moon”). Poets and composers were invoking the Moon’s romantic charms and its darker side, and writers of fiction were conducting their readers on speculative lunar journeys long before Apollo astronauts, in orbit above the Moon, sent back photographs of the reality that human eyes were witnessing for the first time.

Centuries of observation and scientific investigation have been centered on the nature and origin of the Moon. Early studies of the Moon’s motion and position allowed the prediction of tides and led to the development of calendars . The Moon was the first new world on which humans set foot; the information brought back from those expeditions, together with that collected by automated spacecraft and remote-sensing observations, has led to a knowledge of the Moon that surpasses that of any other cosmic body except Earth itself. Although many questions remain about its composition , structure, and history, it has become clear that the Moon holds keys to understanding the origin of Earth and the solar system . Moreover, given its nearness to Earth, its rich potential as a source of materials and energy, and its qualifications as a laboratory for planetary science and a place to learn how to live and work in space for extended times, the Moon remains a prime location for humankind’s first settlements beyond Earth orbit.

What is the moon made of, and how did it form? Learn about the moon's violent origins, how its phases shaped the earliest calendars, and how humans first explored Earth's only natural satellite half a century ago.

Earth Science, Astronomy

Transcript (English)

- [Narrator] Over 150 moons orbit the solar system's planets, and one of those moons calls Earth home.

The moon was formed about 4.5 billion years ago when according to one theory, the Earth slammed into another early planet. Debris from this collision began to orbit Earth and accumulated, forming today's moon. The moon is the fifth largest natural satellite in the solar system with a diameter just under the width of China. It's composed of an iron-rich core, plus a mantle and crust containing minerals made of magnesium, oxygen, and silicon.

The moon's surface was once geologically active and covered in an ocean of magma. But today, apart from traces of water ice, the surface is completely covered in dust and rocky debris. Countless craters dot the moon's surface, each formed by objects, such as meteoroids, comets, and asteroids, crashing onto the moon. The largest crater, the South Pole-Aitken Basin, spans across a quarter of the moon's surface and is nearly deep enough to fit Mount Everest inside.

The moon orbits our planet at an average distance of 30 Earths. It rotates at the same rate that it revolves, so as it revolves around our planet, the same side of the moon faces the Earth at all times. From the Earth's surface, we can observe eight distinct, traditionally recognized stages of the moon's illumination. Called lunar phases, they have been observed for thousands of years and even provided the basis for the earliest calendars. For most of human history, the moon could only be studied from afar. But on July 20th, 1969, humans were able to close that distance with the American space flight mission Apollo 11.

- [Neil] That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

- [Narrator] It placed humans on the moon for the very first time, bringing our understanding of Earth's only natural satellite one step closer.

Transcripción (Español)

- [Narradora] Más de 150 lunas orbitan los planetas del sistema solar, y una de esas lunas llama a la Tierra hogar.

La Luna se formó hace unos 4,5 mil millones de años cuando, según una teoría, la Tierra chocó con otro planeta primitivo. Los restos de esta colisión comenzaron a orbitar la Tierra y se acumularon, formando la Luna de hoy. La Luna es el quinto satélite natural más grande en el sistema solar, con un diámetro justo por debajo del ancho de China. Está compuesta por un núcleo rico en hierro, más un manto y corteza que contienen minerales hechos de magnesio, oxígeno y silicio.

La superficie de la Luna alguna vez fue geológicamente activa y estaba cubierta por un océano de magma. Pero hoy, aparte de rastros de hielo, la superficie está completamente cubierta de polvo y escombros rocosos. Innumerables cráteres salpican la superficie de la Luna, cada uno formado por objetos, como meteoroides, cometas y asteroides, al estrellarse contra la Luna. El cráter más grande, la Cuenca Aitken en el Polo Sur, se extiende a lo largo de un cuarto de la superficie lunar y es casi lo suficientemente profundo como para que el Monte Everest quepa en su interior.

La Luna orbita nuestro planeta a una distancia promedio de 30 Tierras. Rota al mismo ritmo que se desplaza, por lo que mientras gira en torno a nuestro planeta, la Luna siempre nos muestra la misma cara. Desde la superficie de la Tierra, podemos observar ocho etapas distintas, tradicionalmente reconocidas, de la iluminación de la Luna. Llamadas fases lunares, han sido observadas durante miles de años, e incluso fueron la base de los primeros calendarios. Durante la mayor parte de la historia humana, la Luna solo podía ser estudiada desde lejos. Pero el 20 de julio de 1969, los humanos pudieron acortar esa distancia con la misión espacial estadounidense Apolo 11.

- [Neil] Este es un pequeño paso para un hombre, pero un gran salto para la humanidad.

- [Narradora] Colocó a los humanos en la Luna por primera vez, trayendo así nuestra comprensión del único satélite natural de la Tierra un paso más cerca.

What Are the Moon’s Phases?

If you have looked into the night sky, you may have noticed the Moon appears to change shape each night. Some nights, the Moon might look like a narrow crescent. Other nights, the Moon might look like a bright circle. And on other nights, you might not be able to see the Moon at all. The different shapes of the Moon that we see at different times of the month are called the Moon’s phases .

The Moon’s appearance changes throughout the month. Credit: NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio

Why does this happen? The shape of the Moon isn’t changing throughout the month. However, our view of the Moon does change.

The Moon does not produce its own light. There is only one source of light in our solar system, and that is the Sun. Without the Sun, our Moon would be completely dark. What you may have heard referred to as “moonlight” is actually just sunlight reflecting off of the Moon’s surface.

The Sun’s light comes from one direction, and it always illuminates, or lights up, one half of the Moon – the side of the Moon that is facing the Sun. The other side of the Moon is dark.

On Earth, our view of the illuminated part of the Moon changes each night, depending on where the Moon is in its orbit, or path, around Earth. When we have a full view of the completely illuminated side of the Moon, that phase is known as a full moon.

But following the night of each full moon, as the Moon orbits around Earth, we start to see less of the Moon lit by the Sun. Eventually, the Moon reaches a point in its orbit when we don’t see any of the Moon illuminated. At that point, the far side of the Moon is facing the Sun. This phase is called a new moon. During the new moon, the side facing Earth is dark.

The eight Moon phases:

🌑 New : We cannot see the Moon when it is a new moon.

🌒 Waxing Crescent : In the Northern Hemisphere, we see the waxing crescent phase as a thin crescent of light on the right.

🌓 First Quarter : We see the first quarter phase as a half moon.

🌔 Waxing Gibbous : The waxing gibbous phase is between a half moon and full moon. Waxing means it is getting bigger.

🌕 Full : We can see the Moon completely illuminated during full moons.

🌖 Waning Gibbous : The waning gibbous phase is between a full moon and a half moon. Waning means it is getting smaller.

🌗 Third Quarter : We see the third quarter moon as a half moon, too. It is the opposite half as illuminated in the first quarter moon.

🌘 Waning Crescent : In the Northern Hemisphere, we see the waning crescent phase as a thin crescent of light on the left.

The Moon displays these eight phases one after the other as it moves through its cycle each month. It takes about 27.3 days for the Moon to orbit Earth. However, because of how sunlight hits the Moon, it takes about 29.5 days to go from one new moon to the next new moon.

Here’s what the Moon looks like right now from Earth:

Space Facts

The Moon (or Luna) is the Earth’s only natural satellite and was formed 4.6 billion years ago around some 30–50 million years after the formation of the solar system . The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth meaning the same side is always facing the Earth. The first uncrewed mission to the Moon was in 1959 by the Soviet Lunar Program with the first crewed landing being Apollo 11 in 1969.

Size of the Moon Compared to the Earth

Facts about the Moon

• The dark side of the moon is a myth. In reality both sides of the Moon see the same amount of sunlight however only one face of the Moon is ever seen from Earth. This is because the Moon rotates around on its own axis in exactly the same time it takes to orbit the Earth, meaning the same side is always facing the Earth. The side facing away from Earth has only been seen by the human eye from spacecraft.
• The rise and fall of the tides on Earth is caused by the Moon. There are two bulges in the Earth due to the gravitational pull that the Moon exerts; one on the side facing the Moon, and the other on the opposite side that faces away from the Moon, The bulges move around the oceans as the Earth rotates, causing high and low tides around the globe.
• The Moon is drifting away from the Earth. The Moon is moving approximately 3.8 cm away from our planet every year. It is estimated that it will continue to do so for around 50 billion years. By the time that happens, the Moon will be taking around 47 days to orbit the Earth instead of the current 27.3 days.
• A person would weigh much less on the Moon. The Moon has much weaker gravity than Earth, due to its smaller mass, so you would weigh about one sixth (16.5%) of your weight on Earth. This is why the lunar astronauts could leap and bound so high in the air.
• The Moon has only been walked on by 12 people; all American men. The first man to set foot on the Moon in 1969 was Neil Armstrong on the Apollo 11 mission, while the last man to walk on the Moon in 1972 was Gene Cernan on the Apollo 17 mission. Since then the Moon has only be visited by unmanned vehicles.
• The Moon has no atmosphere. This means that the surface of the Moon is unprotected from cosmic rays, meteorites and solar winds, and has huge temperature variations. The lack of atmosphere means no sound can be heard on the Moon, and the sky always appears black.
• The Moon has quakes. These are caused by the gravitational pull of the Earth. Lunar astronauts used seismographs on their visits to the Moon, and found that small moonquakes occurred several kilometres beneath the surface, causing ruptures and cracks. Scientists think the Moon has a molten core, just like Earth.
• The first spacecraft to reach the Moon was Luna 1 in 1959. This was a Soviet craft, which was launched from the USSR. It passed within 5995 km of the surface of the Moon before going into orbit around the Sun .
• The Moon is the fifth largest natural satellite in the Solar System. At 3,475 km in diameter, the Moon is much smaller than the major moons of Jupiter and Saturn . Earth is about 80 times the volume than the Moon, but both are about the same age. A prevailing theory is that the Moon was once part of the Earth, and was formed from a chunk that broke away due to a huge object colliding with Earth when it was relatively young.
• During the 1950’s the USA considered detonating a nuclear bomb on the Moon. The secret project was during the height cold war was known as “A Study of Lunar Research Flights” or “Project A119” and meant as a show of strength at a time they were lagging behind in the space race.

Physical Sciences on the Moon

The unique gravitational properties of the Moon will inform efforts to study and inhabit its environment.

Based on studies conducted on the International Space Station and Earth-based drop towers, it is known that microgravity has profound effects on behavior and properties of different physical systems. Also, these models predict that these behavior and properties of these systems will be different from those observed in microgravity when in lunar gravity on the Moon. For example, data reveal that most materials are more flammable in lunar gravity, but we do not currently know the changes in these limits for most materials that will be used in an exploration environment. Lunar gravity allows investigators to test different physical system models for combustion, fluid physics, and materials to validate the models or to develop new ones associated with partial lunar gravity. Also, important knowledge gaps exist that are associated with the behavior and properties of physical systems on the Moon that are key to the development of effective technologies and processes for in situ resource utilization, on-Moon manufacturing, and regenerative and self-sustaining habitat environments.

Fundamental Physics

Both the low gravity environment of the Moon and its distance from Earth enable studies in areas of quantum physics and General Relativity. As such, investigations on the lunar surface and in lunar orbit will advance basic knowledge of the fundamental laws of physics and test decades old theories. Studies of soft matter properties and behavior of regolith and lunar dust in lunar gravity will provide new scientific insight that should advance knowledge associated with the geochemistry and geophysics of the Moon. The placement of sensors and instruments on the Moon alone or in combination with lunar landers will allow scientists to conduct experiments that study surface-plume interactions, plasma interaction with regolith and its dust, and compression properties of the regolith due to the weight of the landers. The data and models derived from these soft matter studies may be used in combination with physical sciences data to advance innovative technologies and processes for in situ resource utilization, manufacturing, and regenerative and self-sustaining habitat environments.

Question 1: What is the importance of the moon?

Answer 1: Moon is the brightest and largest object in our night sky, which makes the Earth a more livable planet by moderating our home planet’s wobble on its axis. This in turn leads to a relatively stable climate. Moreover, it also causes tides, which creates a rhythm that has guided humans for thousands of years.

Question 2: How was the moon created?

Answer 2: The moon was formed 4.5 billion years ago. It was around 30 to 50 million years after the origin of the Solar System, out of debris thrown into orbit via a massive collision. This collision was between a smaller proto-Earth and another planetoid which was about the size of Mars. In our solar system, almost all moons spin at the same rate as they orbit.
