		Brink.com: on the margin of entertainment ^Votes:0 --> FURTHER EDUCATION GimbleTreadmill The last two weeks have been spent attending an induction course which may sound out of context with my modus operandi, however the lunchtime buffet spread has been the most lavish I have ever encountered, made Fortnum and Masons look like Subs. Different guest speaker every day, so far we've had Hunter S. Thompson teaching us how to strip down and rebuild a Smith and Wesson M&P15 blindfolded who then took us on a four day expedition shooting pigs. There are different induction packages depending on what you want to learn, to enable a better standard of living if you ever draw the short straw and get re-incarnated.

		Clementine ^Votes:0 The Clementine Mission Water Found On The Moon. The Pentagon announced on December 3, 1996 that data acquired by the Clementine spacecraft indicates that there is ice in the bottom of a crater on the Moon. Located on the Moon's South pole it was discovered with radar data and although it is never lit by the sun, there are a few images available for viewing. To download the images for viewing, right click (or click and hold if you are using a Macintosh) and select "Save Link As...". Viewing the images through your browser is possible by clicking each image below. However, please keep in mind that the images are large! On January 25, 1994, the Deep Space Program Science Experiment (DSPSE) (better known as Clementine) was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, on a mission desig Read More Go to Site

		Inconstant Moon: multimedia tours of the lunar surface ^Votes:0 Explore the Moon... discover its dramatic features and phenomena - often beautiful, sometimes bizarre, always changing. Inconstant Moon will take you on a new tour each night, with maps, photos, explanations, animations, selected links and even music! The Moon is the most easily observable astronomical object, and also the most rewarding. For the beginner, it is a breathtaking spectacle through even a modest optical instrument, and as the knowledge and resources of the astronomer increase, it will continue to provide fascinating new challenges and insights. Inconstant Moon is intended as both an introduction to lunar astronomy for the beginner, and an ongoing reference point for the more experienced observer.

		Once in a Blue Moon ^Votes:0 Once in a Blue Moon Once in a Blue Moon ... is a common way of saying not very often , but what exactly is a Blue Moon ? According to the popular definition, it is the second Full Moon to occur in a single calendar month. The average interval between Full Moons is about 29.5 days, whilst the length of an average month is roughly 30.5 days. This makes it very unlikely that any given month will contain two Full Moons, though it does sometimes happen. On average, there will be 41 months that have two Full Moons in every century, so you could say that once in a Blue Moon actually means once every two-and-a-half years .

		StarChild: The Moon ^Votes:0 Listen The Moon: Earth's Satellite The Moon is the only place in our solar system, other than Earth, where humans have visited. On July 20, 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin landed the Lunar Module of Apollo 11 on the Moon's surface. Neil Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the Moon. The Moon is like a desert with plains , mountains, and valleys . It also has many craters , which are holes created when space objects hit the Moon's surface at a high speed. There is no air to breathe on the Moon. Recently water ice was discovered at the poles (or top and bottom) of the Moon. The ice is buried beneath some of the dust of the Moon's surface. Scientists think the ice may be left over from a comet that once collided with the Moon. The Moon travels around the Earth in an o Read More Go to Site

		The Moon Illusion Explained ^Votes:0 THE MOON ILLUSION EXPLAINED Finally! Why the Moon Looks Big at the Horizon and Smaller When Higher Up Don McCready, Professor Emeritus Psychology Department University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Whitewater, WI 53190 Send messages to: mccreadd at uww.edu Revised November 10, 2004. Nearly all people will agree that the picture at the right represents approximately how the horizon moon's size looks when compared with how it looks later, with the moon higher up in the sky. If you wonder why this famous moon illusion occurs, you should read the following article, for, as illusion researchers know, a new explanation is needed: The explanations currently offered by textbooks and the popular media (including virtually all the 'moon illusion' sites on the internet) simply do not explain the moon illus Read More Go to Site

		Virtual Reality Moon Phase Pictures ^Votes:0 Virtual Reality Moon Phase Pictures These "Virtual Reality Moon Phases" were created by R. Schmidt from ray-traced images of the Moon. A Clementine spacecraft mosaic of the lunar surface was mapped onto a sphere, and scenes were rendered as a virtual Sun "orbited" the Moon. The depiction of lunar surface features suffers geometric distortion but the terminator is correct with respect to the spherical Moon. Current Phase of the Moon: Updates every 4 hours): You can view the phase of the Moon for any date and time [1800-2199 A.D].
