On Saturn's moon Tethys there are crimson streaks curving across the moon. Scientists have no clue how the crimson streaks got there, or what kind of material it is. Paul Schenk of the
Lunar Planetary Institute says “It’s clearly painted on the surface in some way that we do not as yet understand”. (Paul Schenk) This red crimson streak is more than 1,000 kilometers across.
Tethys is a medium sized moon that is made mostly of water ice. It is a pretty normal moon, with a bunch of craters.
It wasn’t until April that they got a closer look at these crimson streaks. What these scientists found on this moon, doesn’t make any sense. Paul Schenk says “You don’t see any trace of scraps or ridges or depressions of any kind”. (Paul Schenk) This means

Once the United States landed Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon, it was clear that the U.S. hoaxed the moon landing due to observations being viewed during the live footage of the moon landing. When watching the United States land on the moon, viewers claim to have watched the flag waving on live television. As known, there is no atmosphere in space or on the moon, so why should the flag be waving? NASA clai...

Impact spatter stains come from the impact between an object and the blood source. Impact spatter can be separated into three classifications, low-veloc...
Fifteen years before Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon, one of Belgium’s most successful bande dessine´e which is a specific type of artist named, Herge, sent his “hero” named Tintin to the moon in his book called Destination Moon (Beauvais,PClementine 252). In the human mind the moon can be interpreted as many different things. For example, some may think the moon is a god, Heaven, Hell, or sometimes even as a whole other Earth (Springer 252). When Herge was born at the beginning of the twenty century a piece of literature called From the Earth to the Moon written by Jules Verne’s was possible where the ideas of the moon stem from (Goddin 100). NASA is planning on sending humans back to the moon in a mission called “solid beginnings” in the future. For the past three decades the moon hasn’t been the main focus with all of the other planets such as: Venus and Mars (Lawer 612).Some people believe that the core of the moons material raised up and went to the sur...
... sticks. When the activity is done it leaves a hardened textured surface and you can see bits of yellow showing through. During this activity you can discuss the different shapes of the moon, where the moon light comes from and what the moon is made of.
Skeptics wonder why there are numerous footprints of the astronauts while there is not an impression caused by the lunar module. Yes, it weighs seventeen tons, but puny minded people don’t realize that it landed on a super thin layer of sand, also when the module was landing the descent engines blew all the sand around while it was landing so it basically just landed on a rock where it’s not possible to leave an impression. Also, astronauts “Armstrong and Aldrin spent more than two hours outside their spacecraft on the moon” (NASA). Of course there are plenty of footprints. The sand settled before the astronauts exited the module and walked on the surface. People wonder why the footprints are so well preserved, but there is no wind on the moon to tamper with them as it would happen on Earth. Skeptics wonder why there is not a blast crater from landing the module. Again, this is due to the fact that they landed on tough rock. Even if they were to land on softer rock it still wouldn’t form a crater considering “the amount of thrust being produced by the engines at the point of landing and takeoff is very low in comparison to a landing on Earth because of the relative lack of gravitational pull” (Holt).
High velocity blood spatter can be caused by high-speed machines, most commonly caused by guns. (See figure 17)

There are five basic theories in the formation of our moon. The first is the "fission theory" which states that the moon was once a part of earth, but separated a long time ago. The second theory is called the "capture theory". This theory is says that the moon formed somewhere else, and was "captured" by earths gravitational pull. The third theory is called the "condensation theory" this theory states that the moon and earth were condemned together from the original nebula that formed our solar system. The fourth theory called the "Colliding Planetesimals Theory" states that the interaction between the earth orbiting the sun, and the sun orbiting planetesimals, which are large Astroid like rocks, led to the breakup and formation of our moon from the debris of these planetesimals. The fifth and final theory is called ...
The moon is a wondrous thing. Every night it's outside, up high in the sky, giving light to the world. Most people take advantage of the moon's light, because they don't know why or how the moon shines. Scientists today are busy proving theories and studying the moon, which will hopefully help society to understand the moon more. They know a lot about the moon, but there is still much more to learn.
The gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon cause some interesting effects; tides are the most obvious. The moon has no atmosphere, but there is evidence by the United States Department of Defense Clementine spacecraft shows that there maybe water ice in some deep craters near the moon's North and South Pole that are permanently shaded. Most of the moon's surface is covered with regolith, which is a mixture of fine dust and rocky debris produced by meteor impact. There are two types of terrain on the moon. One is the heavily cratered and very old highlands. The other is the relatively smooth and younger craters that were flooded with molten lava.
