First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and the Waning Crescent. Each of these have different causes and purposes which may differ but also may be the same.
A new moon is when the bright side of the moon is facing away from Earth, this can cause Solar Eclipses but is only because the sun and moon are aligned but are not facing earth so there is no light being cast onto the side of the moon which we can see.The Waxing Crescent is the first part of the moon we can see, in the Northern Hemisphere it is on the right but in the Southern hemisphere is is on the left. The First quarter is when we can see half of the moon (although it is called a quarter moon) but it is when half of the moon is illuminated which is what we can see. The Waxing Gibbous is when we can see most of the moon (more than half) but it is not yet a full moon. The Full moon is when the moon is the brightest in the sky and we can see the full circular shape. The Waning Gibbous is similar to the Waxing Gibbous except the opposite way around. The Last Quarter is the same as the First Quarter but the

effect is reversed. The waning crescent is the last sight of illuminated moon that we can see before a new moon. These are the singular definitions to each phase and they were given through a website which seems reliable and valid There are many different effects that each stage has against earth. Here are some of the similar effects that each phase has contrasted against all of the other ones. Both the new moon and full moon are a full circular shape. Either all of it is there or all of it is gone, not anywhere in between. The Waxing and Waning Gibbous are both the same amount of illuminated moon but they are the opposite way around and they are both related through the name and shape. All the phases of the moon seem to be in pairs but with just the similarities being the shape, size, brightness, and time of occurrence. I think the moon pairs are; Full and New moon, Waxing and Waning Gibbous, First and Last quarter, and the Waxing and waning Crescent. These all show similarities as they are all the opposites of each other and are all paired as of shape, size etc. These may not be scientifically paired or together in those orders but from the pictures and definitions i’ve read through about each phase, I kind of inferred and placed these together to create a better understanding of the way the eight phases work. From the way i’ve done this, it helps me to see that the cycle can be repeated and each time it goes up and down, gaining and fading. For my references, I just used the information I had before and used my definitions to help me explain this. There are many differences between the moon phases but most aren’t very scientific and are simple things like the cycle and pattern and shape.
These are; the shape of each stage and the way the sunlight rotates to create the luminous side of each phase and to give a different shape and shadow to each different phase/ stage. Also there are many differences because of the effects each phases causes. Whether it’s to do with tides, seasons or the weather, each phase does this and causes other things such as solar and lunar eclipses and different experiences for us on earth. I think this is caused by the different lighting and the different shapes and shadows that are being cast on earth while each phase is going through. This is significant because it shows that the moon affects our lives on earth and causes us to experience different reactions and sights in our
lifetime. each phase affects different things. Some of these are tides (king tides, low tide,etc), Some are to do with the planets, and some are to do with the moon and its lighting and shape (solar eclipse, Lunar eclipse, and blood moon , blue moon). Here are some examples of what each singular phase/ what each paired phases affect and how they affect it. Low tide and high tides are caused when the moon rotates around the earth and certain areas are being pulled with gravitational force while others are being slightly pushed away. During a New or Full moon the tides will be changed into what is called a spring tide which is when the water apparently ‘springs’ higher than usual. A neap tide is caused by the First and Last moons which is when the high tide is lower than its usual mass when it is supposed to be a high tide. The other phases in the moon cycle do not affect the tides but they may change depending on where you are on earth. I used two websites for this which were wikipedia and moon connection. The moon stages also affect other things like eclipses and visuals from earth. These are significant because they help us to understand cycles and tides while on earth and it also gives us a good guide to swimming safely (-: In conclusion, the eight phases of the moon cycle affect us quite a bit and are easy to keep track on but can change over time. The moon is a wondrous thing and can provide a lot for us. With our continuous study on the moon we may find some of this study to be proven wrong. I love the moon! ;*
On average a given spot will experience two high tide and two low tides in a day. The tides are experienced due to the moon gravitational pull. The low tides are experienced when we are facing 90 and 180 degrees away from the moon. Then the high tides are found when we are facing the moon and when we are facing away from the moon.
Good morning/ Afternoon Teacher I am Rachel Perkins And I was asked by The Australian Film Institute to be here to today to talk about my musical. My musical One Night The Moon which was the winner of the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Cinematography in a Non-Feature Film in 2001. I am also here to talk about how distinctive voices are used to show the experiences of others. The voices of Albert and Jim are two characters that give us two different perspectives this is due to their views. Albert one of the characters in my film is an Aboriginal character played by Kenton Pell who is hired by the police as a tracker. Albert is a very deeply spiritual person this gave him a spiritual voice throughout the play but when he get 's kick off the land and banned from the search the gets frustrated which gave him this really emotional voice. This event has a greater meaning which I will elaborate on later and now Onto Jim. Jim is your 1930s white Australian that owns a farm and is going through tough times because of the Great depression. Jim does not allow Albert to find his daughter, This is due to his racist and prejudiced views of black Australians. Jim has an authorial voice because he see’s himself as inferior. Near to the end of
However, although his “night water” has been cured, he is still tortured by the Judge. Peekay notes that “It was a full moon again, just like the very first time. But also a moon like the one...in the dreamtime when....I had conquered my fears.” (23) At first, he compares the full moon to a negative experience of his, but then he connects it to a positive experience he has. Thus, this time, instead of bringing him sadness, the moon brings him strength. “‘I didn’t cry. They’ll never make me cry again!’ [He] said to the [full] moon.” (25) Peekay chooses to swear this to the moon, emphasizing the importance of the moon to him. He now has the courage to stand up to the Judge, signaling the death of the cowardly Peekay and the birth of the courageous one. Similarly, Peekay revisits the night country moments before his first real boxing fight. He feels intimidated by his large opponent, and “the feeling of being in front of the Judge came back to [him] and the ring became the dormitory

The story begins in the Middle Kingdom which is what the Chinese people call China. Moon Shadow is afraid of the demons, which is what they call Americans. Moon Shadow is afraid of demons because his mother told him about how the demons lynched his grandfather. Moon Shadow’s mother doesn’t like to answer his questions about America. The Tang people refer America as the Land of the Golden Mountain. Moon Shadow has never met his father and the people in the village call him a maker of marvelous kites. Moon Shadow gets to finally go to America because his cousin, Hand Clap brought a letter from his father. Hand Clap tells Moon Shadow about the demons and how mean they are. Moon Shadow arrives in America and he arrives in the Company building.

The Celts took part in many religious festivals that included Imbolc, Beltaine, Lugansa, and Samhain. The Imbolc festival celebrated fertility and growth. . This celebration was held in February. The Beltaine, held in May, was associated with the fertility of cattle and crops, which honored the Druids. During the Beltaine, the Celtic tribes drove herds between bonfires to purify and protect themselves against the evil spirits. The third festival that the Celts took part in is known as the Lugansa. Lugansa honored the gods and the harvest. The Lugansa also known as the harvest festival, celebrated from mid July to mid August. (Pierce Online) Lastly, the Samhain is the start of the New Year. The Samhain in the present day is known as Halloween. “During this celebration the division between this world and the other world dissolved and the spirits roamed the earth” (Pierce Online). According to Druidism, the spirits of the deceased roamed the earth on Samhain evening (Encarta Online). The four festivals were similar to the seasons and the important transitions.
...planetesimals that once orbited the sun but were, at one point, captured into a planetary orbit by the planet's gravity. Cratering is also a sign of these period, with the collision of planetesimals into larger ones being the explanation.
You see the star sparkling in the night and then you spot multiple stars that look like they are meant to form a shape, you connect the stars together and then you slowly get the picture. The pattern or shape in the night sky is called a constellation. There are many constellations, all different shapes and sizes. For example, there are horoscope constellations, or zodiac constellations, Big Dipper, Small Dipper, Pegasus, and etc. These constellations are all different shapes and sizes. But in this paper, there’s a certain type of constellation that will be discussed in this paper and those “certain type” are zodiac constellations. Not all 12 but only six: Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius. After you’re done with this paper, your knowledge of horoscope constellations will be expanded.
The auroras are the colorful shimmering lights movement on a sky that caused by collisions between electrically charged particles released by the solar wind from the sun and gaseous particles in the earth 's magnetic field and atmosphere. You can see the lights above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern. "Aurora borealis" or "Northern Lights" occur around the northern magnetic pole. On the other hand, auroras that occur around the southern magnetic pole are called "Aurora australis" or "Southern Lights." "Aurora," this word comes from the Roman goddess of dawn. It means you can come to see this phenomenon in the earth at the North Pole and the South Pole.
Tides are common features of the ocean. Tides occur when large bodies water rise and fall, because of the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. Spring tides are especially strong tides; in spite of the name they have nothing to do with the season spring. They occur when the Earth, the sun, and the moon are in a line. Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon. Neap tides are especially weak tides. They occur when the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are perpendicular to one another. When water moves from side to side, it is called a current. Currents move warm and cold water to different parts of the ocean.
