Tell About Moon?

The Moon rock samples of the flood lavas that erupted onto the surface from partial melting in the mantle confirm the mafic mantle composition, which is more iron-rich than that of Earth

The crust is on average about 50 kilometres (31 mi) thick.

The Moon is the second-densest satellite in the Solar System, after Io.However, the inner core of the Moon is small, with a radius of about 350 kilometres (220 mi) or less, around 20% of the radius of the Moon

Its composition is not well defined, but is probably metallic iron alloyed with a small amount of sulfur and nickel; analyses of the Moon's time-variable rotation suggest that it is at least partly molten

The topography of the Moon has been measured with laser altimetry and stereo image analysis

The moon is not a planet, but a satellite of the Earth.

The surface area of the moon is 14,658,000 square miles or 9.4 billion acres
Only 59% of the moon's surface is visible from earth.

When a month has two full moons, the second full moon is called a blue moon. Another definition of a blue moon is the third full moon in any season (quarter of year) containing 4 total full moons.

The dark spots we see on the moon that create the image of the man in the moon are actually craters filled with basalt, which is a very dense material.

The moon is the only extraterrestrial body that has ever been visited by humans.

The moon has no global magnetic field.

The moon's diameter is about 1/4 the diameter of the Earth. About 49 moons would fit inside the Earth.
It is possible to have a month without a full moon. This occurs in February, but either January or March will have two moons.

In a survey conducted in 1988, 13% of those surveyed believed that the moon is made of cheese.

In China, the dark shadows that are on the moon are called "the toad in the moon".

The first space craft to send back pictures from the moon was Luna 3 (built by the Soviet Union) in October 1959.

The Apollo missions brought back 2196 rock samples weighing 382 kg in total
When Alan Sheppard was on the moon, he hit a golf ball and drove it 2,400 feet, nearly one half a mile.

Dr. Eugene Shoemaker, a Geological Surveyor, who educated the Apollo mission astronauts about craters, never made it into space himself, but it had always been one of his dreams.

placed on board the Lunar Prospector spacecraft on January 6, 1999, which was crashed into a crater on the moon on July 31, 1999. The mission was to discover if there was water on the moon at the time, but it also served to fulfill Dr Shoemaker's last wish.

When Neil Armstrong took that first historical step and said "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" it would not have occurred to anyone that the step he took in the dust of the moon was there to stay. It will be there for millions of years because there is no wind on the moon.

That is, assuming the downdraft from the Command Module upon takeoff back into space didn't destroy the print. Buzz Aldrin reportedly saw the American flag, much further away, blow over during launch.

Nevertheless, any footprints made by the famous astronauts undisturbed by takeoff are, in fact, there to stay.

The multi layer space suits worn by the astronauts to the moon weighed 180 pounds on earth, but thirty pounds on the moon due to the lower gravity.

How close can you get without completely running out of gas? Apollo 11 had only 20 seconds of fuel left when they landed on the moon.

Apollo 15 was the first mission to use a lunar rover. The top speed that was ever recorded in this 4-wheeled land vehicle was 10.56 miles per hour.

Most of the people think that the Moon is round in shape, but it’s not. The Moon is shaped like an egg.

The Moon is approximately 238, 750 miles (384, 400 kilometers) from earth.  The distance changes depending on the position of the Moon, whether it is at its apogee(far away) or perigee(nearby).  At apogee distance is 363, 295 km and at perigee it is  405, 503 km.

According to scientists, the Moon was formed as a result of a giant impact or giant whack of Earth with mars sized planet, which resulted in the Moon
