the Moon is on the left side of the Earth and is moving in a further left and south. The distance is now 8 squidgits
12. the Moon has returned to the right of the Earth and continues to trend north. The distance is 12 squidgits
13. the Moon is on to the right of the Earth and continues to trend north. The is 14.5 squidgits
14. It takes a little more than 27 days for the Moon to complete one orbit. This can be seen with monthly observations; the Moon is always on the same side of the Earth but varies in its distance, position. This occurs because it takes less than a month for the Moon to complete one orbit.
15. As of April 27, Io is on the left side of Jupiter from the perspective of the Sun. Io is 14 squidgits from Jupiter.
16. Io is on the right side of Jupiter from the perspective of the Sun. Io is about 12 squidgits from Jupiter.
17. Io has returned to the left side of Jupiter from the perspective of the Sun. Io is about 8 squidgits from Jupiter.

Io is on the left side of Jupiter from the perspective of the Sun. Io is about 9 squidgits from Jupiter.
21. Io is on the right side of Jupiter from the perspective of the Sun. Io is about 13 squidgits from Jupiter.
22. I would agree, the generalization that Io is orbiting Jupiter in about 48 hours. As of April 27 2017, Io was on the left side of Jupiter at about 14 squidgits. On April 29th, it had returned to the same side of Jupiter but was now closer at about 8 squidgits.
23. The evidence show Europa completes its orbit around Jupiter about every four days. Assuming Europa does not vary in its distance from Jupiter and is equal in its orbit. Friday would have been observed about 1.5 squidgits on the left side of Jupiter and Saturday Europa would have completed its orbit and returned to about 5 squidgits from Jupiter.

The moon is mentioned abundantly in the scripture, many researches say the phases of the moon have a direct relationship with what occurs around the world. Judy Isacoff writes "The phases of the moon are a significant part of our experience of life on Earth." According to NASA, one ...
Have you ever looked up into the night skies and wondered what might be out there? One question I always wonder is where in the universe might there be a livable planet? Well the answer might be closer than you think, well actually 588 million kilometers away from earth. Jupiter of course is what I’m talking about. Fell first let’s ask the why we might move. Let’s face it earth is not going to be able to be habitable forever in fact ate the rate humans are polluting the atmosphere earth won’t be around that much longer. So might need a new place to live. So could the answer be Jupiter? Before that we need to know a little about the new planet and if it’s able to sustain life. Let’s start with the Jupiter’s history. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Jupiter was named after the king of the gods and Roman mythology. The ancient Greeks named the planet after Zeus, the king of the Greek pantheon. In 1610, a man that goes by the name “Galileo Galilei” was looking through his homemade telescope when he came across Jupiter. He notice four objects circling Jupiter and described them as "four fixed stars, totally invisible by their smallness" it was there were he discovered four large moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, which underwent several name change but are now known as the Galilean moons. This was the first time celestial bodies were seen circling an object other then Earth. Jupiter spins faster than any other planet, taking 10 hours to complete a turn on its axis, compared to that of 24 hours for Earth. This rapid spin makes Jupiter bulge at the equator and flatten at the poles, making the planet about 7 percent wider at the equator than at the poles. This is Jupiter and this is Jupiter next to the earth. Jup...
Uranus is one of the Jovian planets and like the others it has a short rotation period. Uranus’s day is 17.2 hours. Its revolution around the sun however is slightly more than 84 years. It is the seventh planet from the sun at a distance of 1.78 billion miles.
According to Canadian researchers, hypothetically, it would take approximately 1,591,500,000 pounds of force to move the moon which I have calculated from the average mass, velocity, and time of impact of the asteroid that struck the moon, this asteroid would not have enough force. Once the asteroid hit the moon even with its apparent density it would not move the moon, it would only cause another crater on the moon’s surface, possibly deep or wide crater though. For the sake of this essay, let’s say it did move the moon and started the descent, the effects would not show on earth for a while, which brings me to my last
We also calculated the density of a moon based on its make up or rock and ice percentage. We use the formula ( (P rock) (3.5) + (P ice) (0.9) ) / 100. When the moon is 100% rock and 0% ice, the moon’s density is 3.5 g/cm^3. When the moon is 80% rock and 20% ice, the moon’s density is 2.98 g/cm^3. When the moon is 60% rock and 40% ice, the moon’s density is 2.46 g/cm^3. When the moon is 40% rock and 60% ice, the moon’s density is 1.94 g/cm^3. When the moon is 20% rock and 80% ice, the moon’s density is 1.42 g/cm^3. When the moon is 0% rock and 100% ice, the moon’s density is .9
Parallax is defined as “any alteration in the relative apparent positions of objects produced by a shift in the position of the observer” (Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia 1). Parallax is commonly used to measure distances between celestial bodies, such as planets and stars. Parallax is measured using angles that are much smaller than a degree. Arcminutes are one sixtieth of a degree and arcseconds are one sixtieth of an arminute. One example of the infinitesimal size of an arcsecond could be the width of a dime from a point of view two kilometers away (“Cool Cosmos”). These units of measurement are used in the parallax formula, or the formula used to calculate distance when given an object’s parallax measurement. The distance given from the parallax formula is in parsecs, which are 3.26 light years or 3.18x10^13 kilometers (“PARALLAX”). The parallax formula can be written as “distance = 1/parallax” (“PARALLAX”).
The country of Italy is located at 41.9000 degrees north and 12.4822 degrees east in southern Europe. Most of the country is surrounded by water of the Tyrrhenian, Mediterranean, and Adriatic Seas, which makes it a huge peninsula, a piece of land that is surrounded by water on three sides and not four like an island. Border countries are France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia to the north.
Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, has yet to be discovered as in depth as Juno will. NASA New Frontiers recently established the Juno Mission to observe Jupiter (Ionescu 1). The spacecraft is currently on route to Jupiter and it is set to arrive in 2016. Juno will orbit Jupiter thirty-three times total before shutting down (Ionescu 1). Juno will observe Jupiter with deeper observation than can be seen by a telescope. The Juno Spacecraft is a project made to discover Jupiter’s high winds, a possible water source, and the planetary structure.
The moon is probably the most noticeable object outside of earth atmosphere besides the sun. There are a great number of facts about the moon. Most of these facts include size and distance of the moon compared to the Earth. Our moon's proper name is "Luna". Luna is 238,900 miles away from earth, and 27% smaller than earth. The moon is the most studied object outside of earths atmosphere. Luna is the only naturally made object that humans have set foot on besides earth.
?The Eagle has landed.? Many people use this phrase without knowing where it came from. On July 20, 1969, NASA astonished the world, when Neil Armstrong spoke these words when the Apollo spacecraft, nicknamed ?the Eagle,? landed on the moon?s surface. He later spoke the famous words, ?One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,? when he was the first man to set foot on the moon. When astronauts walk on the moon, they are allowed to breathe, because of their space suits. These space suits have oxygen tanks in them, and allow astronauts to stay out in space for up to seven hours at a time. They have to think ahead a few steps so they can step or turn without difficulty, because they have to take huge steps. The pull of gravity on the moon is one-sixth lower than the pull of gravity on the Earth, which makes them a lot lighter on the moon. The moon?s gravitational pull controls the ocean?s tides on the Earth. The moon pulls the Earth and water towards it, which causes an increase of water nearest the moon. As the moon pulls the core of the Earth towards it, the water on the side farthest away from the moon flings around to the side, and creates an increase of water there, too. The increase of water is called a high tide. On the sides of the Earth not facing the sun or moon, there are low tides. Each beach or po...
2,870,990,000 km (19.218 AU) from the Sun, Uranus hangs on the wall of space as a mysterious blue green planet. With a mass of 8.683e25 kg and a diameter of 51,118 km at the equator, Uranus is the third largest planet in our solar system. It has been described as a planet that was slugged a few billion years ago by a large onrushing object, knocked down (never to get up), and now proceeds to roll around an 84-year orbit on its belly. As the strangest of the Jovian planets, the description is accurate. Uranus has a 17 hour and 14 minute day and takes 84 years to make its way about the sun with an axis tilted at around 90° with retrograde rotation. Stranger still is the fact that Uranus' axis is almost parallel to the ecliptic, hence the expression "on its belly".
The moon shows different phases as it moves along its orbit around the earth. Half the moon is always in sunlight, just as half the earth has day while the other half has night. The phases of the moon depend on how much of the sunlit half can be seen at any one time. In the new moon, the face is completely in shadow. About a week later, the moon is in first quarter, resembling a half-circle; another week later, the full moon shows its fully lighted surface; a week afterward, in its last quarter, the moon appears as a half-circle again. The entire cycle is repeated each lunar month, which is approximately 29.
When you look up at the night sky you see a moon in the midst of stars. After researching, maybe now you notice a moon, held up in an endless, black galaxy, with stars millions of miles away, shining so brightly we can inspect them here on earth. On a clear night if you look towards the right spot, you can view Jupiter. But, you cannot see its fine details or moons, or feel its harsh environment. Maybe you should try looking for Jupiter one night!
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun. It includes 4 rings. It has 67 moons too. The surface temperature is -108 degrees celsius. Jupiter is the fourth shiniest object in the the sky. Jupiter has the shortest amount of days, hence 9 hours and 55 minutes. Jupiter will orbit the sun every 118 Earth years. The red spot on Jupiter is an enormous storm on the planet. The storm has occurred for 350 years. 3 Earths can fit in the red
Inferring directly from the title, the movie takes place on the moon. To be more specific, it takes place on the dark side of the moon. It is a cold, dark, and lonely atmosphere. This unkind
