the researchers hope to reveal hidden layers of water frozen beneath the surface. On 9 October, a NASA satellite will throw a rocket into the crater of the moon spends dark and cold at 5600 mph, the impact will be equal to the force of 1.5 tons of TNT that would throw pieces of the moon's surface, Satellite - Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS - then will be photographing and studying the debris for evidence that water or ice from the comet collided 2. MUGS OF THE MOON
The mission of the Apollo astronauts to collect some 840 lb NASA moon rocks and rubble 340 hours during the Apollo astronauts were allowed to keep some rocks as souvenirs months, provided that they will not be sold but passed on from generation to generation. Currently, NASA remaining samples stored in Teflon bags and stored in steel cabinets full of nitrogen at Johnson Space Center in Houston. Any researcher who wants to deal with them must wear three pairs of gloves to prevent contamination.
3. MORE MONTHS AWAY FROM EARTH
Moon slowly - very slowly - inching away from Earth, with a rate of about 3.8 cm per year. Now in more than 238,000 miles from Earth, but when it is formed, it was only 14,000 miles. How do scientists know? Moon distance is measured by bouncing a laser beam from a reflector on the moon's surface left by the astronauts from the Apollo missions. Finally, the distance of the moon that would substantially weaken the ocean tides' and the total solar eclipse will not be possible for observers on Earth, because the moon will move too far. But it still could take a billion years. 4. SEA IN THE MOON
Image beside the sea is not real but is a large-scale lava plains on the surface of the moon, which dubbed the sea by the Earth-bound observers, these plains were created by the violent impact of a meteor. Interestingly, most of the sea of lava on the side facing the earth's surface temperature is the Moon
5. TEMPERATURES MAY VARY
vary by almost 500 ° F, from -240 ° F when the dark to 220 ° F in the sun. a place on the moon spends about 13 days in the dark cold, followed by 13 days in the water-boiling sun. Lack of atmosphere, which helps the Earth to capture the heat so it does not all disappear in the night, if you dig a few meters below the surface of the moon, EVENS out nearly constant temperature -31 ° F. 6. DARK SIDE
Moon has no dark side, although there is always a part of in the dark - as always there are parts of the world experiencing night. There is the far side of the moon that we can not see from Earth: because of the way the moon's orbit, he always keeps the same side facing us. 7. ETERNAL
