The Earth's Moon, the second brightest object in the sky for humanity, after the Sun, orbits around Earth once per month at 384,400 km. As the angle between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun change we see the cycle of the Moon’s phases.
The Moon is the only extraterrestrial body to have been visited by humans; first mapped by the Soviet’s Luna 2 in 1959, the United States landed a crew on July 20, 1969.
Known as Selene and Artemis by the Greeks and as Luna by the Romans, the Moon has been a powerful symbol for countless generations of humans. Ideas expressed in mythology influence our thinking in many ways, even after we understand such things as tides and lunacy with scientific knowledge.
Quotes ~
• “Everything has a natural explanation. The moon is not a god but a great rock and the sun a hot rock.” ~ Anaxagorus
• “The earth together with its surrounding waters must in fact have such a shape as its shadow reveals, for it eclipses the moon with the arc of a perfect circle.” ~ Nicholas Copernicus
• “What was most significant about the lunar voyage was not that men set foot on the moon but that they set eye on the earth.” ~ Norman Cousins
• “Wine and cheese are ageless companions, like aspirin and aches, or June and moon, or good people and noble ventures.” ~ M. F. K. Fisher
• “...I feel sure that the surface of the Moon is not perfectly smooth, free from inequalities and exactly spherical... but that, on the contrary, it is full of inequalities, uneven, full of hollows and protuberances, just like the surface of the Earth itself, which is varied everywhere by lofty mountains and deep valleys.” ~ Galileo Galilei
• “And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon...” ~ Edward Lear
• “Yeah, we shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.” ~ John Lennon
• “What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous.” ~ Thomas Merton
• “The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to.” ~ Carl Sandburg
