spell dinosaur Wildcraft rules the song in there sure is a property of matter she's -7 seconds salsa, do you know that the earth goes around the Sun loan goes around the Earth in a very predictable cycle very pretty see the moon is always the same it never changes its the same size and shape Brown like a boss but it looks different to us here on Earth because of the way sunlight hits right Moonlight is really sunlight and it change because the moon is going around the Earth and the Earth is going around the Sun everything's just going around okay let's say that this baseball diamond is the orbit of the moon the diamond Square in the orbits around but you get the idea don't we need a son so let's say that the Earth is on the pictures now I see by the way the scale of this open this moon are about right with respect to the orbit of the moon that's the baseball diamond notice that right now when you're standing on the earth you can't see the turn off the song we call a new moon and the reason you can't see it is the moon is between you and the sun now the moon orbit the Earth in this direction so when the moon what's the first beats it's a half moon because sunlight is falling on half of it then it keeps running to second Helena Lawrence back here at second it's a full moon special because the Moon is on this side of the earth here's a the moon's orbit isn't flat it's tilted so lot of times when the moon's back here here but now I'm still a phone and this is why most of the time the Earth Shadow doesn't fall in the moon it's almost always full got to keep moving on the 3rd so your third it's a half moon again but look the Shadows on the other side that's because we're on the other side of the Earth Minecraft break for home show the orbit setup like this the moon would end up right on home plate the moon scores a homerun every month well that's astronomy for you score baseball I guess it's both you know sometimes you can see the moon during the daytime  looks different sometimes it's sometimes it's a teeny flavor and sometimes you can't even see it here's a fun thing to do look at the moon sometimes you can see it during the daytime don't worry it's just so you can watch it when you're done look at the Moon couple of days again when the will is not there that's called the new moon home Reagan from the right to the left the ones in your room cool Moonglow is really son Moonlight is really sunlight that reflects off the surface of the Moon like a mirror is how can one like so bright I mean where does it all come from well two things first of all the moon doesn't have as much gravity as the Earth so it can't hold on an ocean or an Atmos which absorbs moonlight can minerals minerals like potassium in banana reasons that scientists think that moon rocks and Earth rocks are so much alike is it perhaps the Earth was hit by a giant meteorite to giant rock in space hit the earth and that material spun off and formed the Moon  so Moonglow is really sunny reflecting off of moon rocks Illini Airlines Community Access 27 next the high Dilly school with the Moon and now it's Marshalls fourth grade class presents the Moon play in two apps at once the revolution so where did the moon come from anyway or stiri right now from space question space there's no sounds be more like  Anyway this material was melted molten afterwhile a piece the flock in the pull of gravity held it more and that's our moon no because the moon was formed by this impact the orbit is tilted even today free hot looking to get away from it all enjoy life again been Apollo Charter tours has just the ticket for you any all your cares and Worries Lil Wayne directory assistance Gator bus  everything you need is been provided for expert pilots and technicians in beverages entertainment spectacular views graders and of course the best golfing this side Pluto all four billion dollars powers of free mobile to really get you going this has been a fake commercial and was not intended as a guarantee warranty or production any similarity to an actual product living or dead was purely coincidental I'm all back to our regularly scheduled program the moon doesn't just sit up in the sky either it's gravity pulls on everything on Earth including the ocean so see this this is the high tide Mark and way over there is the low tide one with the Sun's gravity the moon's gravity makes the ocean move from there to here everyday because of the pull of the moon's gravity that was the main reason we have Tides because there's a move this place up here touched it uncover the whole new world of interesting things and then a little bit later when we come back to check it again in funny a little bit higher so we can see how fascinating it since he'll turn it laying out in the sun if we didn't have a movie where the time so you would be able to catch this stuff Minecraft tell me waiting until the tide comes in so we won't bug him anymore he's probably getting really irritated don't try U-Pull-It short hair okay let's say this is the moon orbiting the earth once in awhile the shadow of the moon will fall on the earth and we got solarek okay once in awhile the shadow of the earth will fall on the moon we going to lose let me ask you this why do we get one every month an eclipse every month because the orbit of the moon is tilted so once Shadow falls on the moon but most of the time the shadow misses and we get a full moon and a new moon every month no problem isn't that wild it's all because the moon's orbit has a little tilt the Earth is round the Earth Shadow is round ancient Greek astronomers realize the Earth was round Earth's shadow on the moon and take a look  this is what we call an eclipse of the moon or a lunar eclipse when the cast a shadow on the Moon the Moon is around on this side of the Earth and the moon cast a shadow on the Earth surface that's what we call it a clip shun Sora solar eclipse by the way the scale of this model isn't quite right  an eclipse is whenever sunlight is blocked the Earth cast a shadow on the moon that's Clips if the moon cast a shadow on the earth that's a solar eclipse to Big sunlight blocking party you know sunblock Earth block Moon block blackbird about 20 years ago I had a great experience play set food and walked on the moon I was 12th  and my job is a geologist is is an astronaut was to gather as many samples as we could and do other that would add to our total knowledge about him go back to your corner and get that we took thousands of samples why we were on the moon individually number brought them back to her and they are still being worked on by son here on this planet pounds here on Earth you weigh 10 pounds on the moon if you can jump 2 ft off the ground here on Earth you could jump 12 ft off the ground on the moon for japo here's a I couldn't even hope to lift here on Earth  put on the moon that would be a piece of cake you could put that up probably right above your head  call Kirko running across the surface of moon for me was like cross-country skiing can you take along strides when you kick with your toe to get more speed but on the moon you can do the same thing except you Glide above the surface instead of on the surface not I think you can run faster than the lunar rover could could drive  the feeling of leaving the moon was for me I very sad I didn't have any concern about the rocket lighting and getting back back home but I really would have liked to stay longer to learn and course we knew it was the last mission to the Moon the last of anything you will probably go to Mars it is important to remember that and that not only in geology but in all sizes the Frontiers are infinitely Nexus 27 Secret intermission free Looney Looney and lunar woo people used to think that if you slept outside under a full moon you go crazy haha this is a moon phase clock to see right now it's a full moon as the month goes on the moon moves from this sign to this side and gets covered by this piece here so then we have a new moon and a later the moon start re-emerge from this side I noticed that the shadow on the moon is always moving from right to left just like the real moon so not only is this a beautiful piece of butcher social scientific instrument first quarter full moon third-quarter that's because the moon goes wrong the earth goes around the Sun hit the picture  you're probably wondering how the pull of gravity between us and the moon affect things on the Moon the Moon has no no plants or animals there there's no ocean there no Tides but there are moonquakes they're not nearly as wild as earthquakes on Earth but moonquakes to cause the moon to shake and wiggle a little bit like a bowl of Jell-O and we know they're moonquakes because we left moonquake detectors there you can't see him from here but they're there they all claim to be lunatics when the moon is full it's ridiculous I tell you nothing to do with the Moon have to call you back Mom please have a safe I didn't see you come in  yeah I get all types lousy day blame it on the moon call Braden School blame it on the moon I say cheese and crackers cream cheese from the Moon what's a man  it's all a matter of culture that's right culture the Greeks and Romans the song woman's face just a bunch of animals Shadow perspective it don't have to be a detective your own observations are which is effective now get out of here what's the full normally when we do the show will use a lens like this but tonight so we can do some Moon gazing we've hooked up this 800mm lens of science gigolo who's the new moon because we can't see it he was in between the Earth and the Sun when you hit the lights up half a moon that's because the rudest one side of the earth like this the sun is over there the Moon is over here you can see the whole thing for forward or forward drifting to the right level call back right Pandora.  I like to watch I watch to watch watching wax worms pictures Luxor the Moon is amazing that's our show thanks for watching he keep Moon gazing produced in the Sun the National Science Foundation rolling I got a lot of health issues pretty lunia people used to think if you slept I got to start over tell her I got to do to make it real straight pretty Looney Looney lunatic lunacy and the same word the word for who people used to take that if you slept outside under a full moon you're a crazy I've slept outside on a pony full moon do I seem crazy first one was the funniest run
