• Apollo Program - astronomy.

  Moon’s orbit; rendezvousing and docking with the CSM; and finally, setting a course home to Earth. On return to Earth, the spacecraft was slowed by drag from Earth’satmosphere and by parachutes (just before splashdown), before landing in the ocean. The transit time to and from the Moon was approximately three days each way.Depending on the specific mission, the time in lunar orbit ranged from less than one day for Apollo 8 to over six days for the final three missions, and the time on thelunar s...

• Moon - astronomy.

  B Volcanic Features Maria, domes, rilles, and a few craters display indisputable characteristics of volcanic origin. Maria are plains of dark-colored rock that cover approximately 40 percent ofthe Moon's visible hemisphere. The maria formed when molten rock erupted onto the surface and solidified between 3.16 billion and 3.96 billion years ago. This rockresembles terrestrial basalt, a volcanic rock type widely distributed on Earth, but the rock that formed the maria has a higher iron content an...

• Space Exploration - astronomy.

  to produce 250,000 newtons (56,000 lb) of thrust. The Germans launched thousands of V-2s carrying explosives against targets in Britain and The Netherlands. Whilethey did not prove to be an effective weapon, V-2s did become the first human-made objects to reach altitudes above 80 km (50 mi)—the height at which outer spaceis considered to begin—before falling back to Earth. The V-2 inaugurated the era of modern rocketry. A2 Early Artificial Satellites During the years following World War II, the...

• Calendar.

  on lunar months of 29 days alternating with 30 days. An extra month is intercalated every 3 years, based on a cycle of 19 years. Dates of the Jewish calendar aredesignated AM (Latin anno mundi, ”the year of the world”) and BCE (before the common era). Another major religious calendar is the Islamic calendar, a lunar one used in most Muslim countries. It is reckoned from AD 622, the day after the Hegira, or emigration of Muhammad from Mecca to Medina. The Islamic year consists of 12 lunar mo...

• Luna - ciencia y tecnologia.

  4 ORIGEN DE LA LUNA Antes de la era moderna de la astronáutica, los científicos desarrollaron tres teorías principales sobre el origen de nuestro satélite: fisión de la Tierra, formación en unaórbita cercana a la Tierra y formación lejos de la Tierra. En 1975, después de analizar las rocas lunares y los primeros planos de la Luna, los científicos propusieron la teoríadel impacto planetesimal, que en la actualidad se presenta como la más verosímil. 4.1 Formación por fisión de la Tierra La versi...

• Eclipse - ciencia y tecnologia.

  Eclipse anularUn eclipse anular se produce cuando la Luna está cerca de su apogeo (el punto de su órbita en el que se encuentra más distante de laTierra), al interponerse entre el Sol y la Tierra. En estos eclipses permanece visible un anillo del disco solar. Esta imagen fue tomadaen Kenia durante un eclipse que tuvo lugar el 16 de febrero de 1980.M.P. Kahl/Photo Researchers, Inc. En áreas fuera de la banda barrida por la sombra de la Luna, pero dentro de la penumbra, tienen lugar eclipses parci...

• Islam.

  commanded to face the Kaaba, an ancient shrine in the city of Mecca. The Qur’an also refers to the recitation of parts of the Qur’an as a form of prayer. However, evenwith its numerous references, the Qur’an alone does not give exact instructions for this central ritual of prayer. The most detailed descriptions of the rituals for prayer derive from the example set by the prophet Muhammad and are preserved in later Islamic traditions. Somedetails of these rituals vary, however all Muslims agree t...

• Mond - Astronomie.

  5.1 Bildung durch Abspaltung von der Erde Nach der modernen Version dieser Theorie spaltete sich in der erdgeschichtlichen Frühzeit, als die Erde sehr schnell rotierte, das Material des Mondes durch die Fliehkraftvon der Erde ab. Diese Vorstellung wurde teilweise dadurch gestützt, dass der Mond etwa die gleiche Dichte hat wie die Gesteine im oberen Erdmantel. Jedoch hätte derDrehimpuls der Erde nach dieser Theorie zum Erzeugen der Rotationsinstabilität viel größer sein müssen, als es der Drehim...

• Shang Dynasty - History.

  The dynastic ancestors belonged to an elaborate religious pantheon that also included various nature powers and the Shang high god, Di. The higher powers were lessconcerned with the well-being of Shang society than the ancestors were. Di, whose wishes were often hard to determine, could even cause the Shang harm. The naturepowers could occasionally influence the wind, rain, and harvests, but only Di could actually order the weather. For an agricultural society such as the Shang, this wasperhaps...

• Isaac NewtonIINTRODUCTIONIsaac Newton (1642-1727), English physicist, mathematician, and natural philosopher, considered one of the most important scientists of all time.

  B Calculus (Newton’s “Fluxional Method”) In 1669 Newton gave his Trinity mathematics professor Isaac Barrow an important manuscript, which is generally known by its shortened Latin title, De Analysi . This work contained many of Newton’s conclusions about calculus (what Newton called his “fluxional method”). Although the paper was not immediately published, Barrowmade its results known to several of the leading mathematicians of Britain and Europe. This paper established Newton as one of the...

• Eclipse - astronomy.

  bending of light rays passing close to the sun because of the sun’s gravitational field ( see Relativity). The great brilliance of the solar disk and the sun-induced brightening of the earth’s atmosphere make observations of the corona and nearby stars impossible except during a solar eclipse. The coronagraph, a photographictelescope, permits direct observation of the edge of the solar disk at all times. Today, scientific solar eclipse observations are extremely valuable, particularly when thepa...
