5 Moon facts you probably didn’t know! 🌝 #shorts
Happy International Moon Day!
54 years ago on 20 July 1969, Apollo 11’s crew made history by being the first people to step foot on the moon.
Today, we’ll be sharing some fun facts about our celestial neighbour! 🌚🌝
1️⃣ Twelve people have walked on the Moon. Between 1969 and 1972, astronauts left scientific experiments on the lunar surface and came back to Earth with nearly 400 kg of rocks and soil. All 12 Apollo Moonwalkers reported symptoms similar to hay fever. Lunar dust is made of sharp, abrasive particles, and it is not known how toxic it is to humans.
2️⃣ You would also weigh less on the Moon! With only 1/6 the gravity, you would be able to jump higher and throw objects farther than on Earth.
3️⃣ If you look at the Moon through a telescope, you will see brilliant flashes of light. Nobody is sending you signals though – they are meteorites hitting our rocky neighbour at great speed.
4️⃣ If you were to live on the Moon, both day and night would be two weeks long! As humankind goes to the Moon, astronauts will need to work with this new day/night cycle
5️⃣ The Moon hides one ‘face’ from us, we call it the far side of the Moon, and we never get to see it from Earth. What do you think is on the far side of the Moon?

Cool pls heart and comment esa!
🤨Why though? Shouldn't it be more like the earth? It's like the Earth's opposite.🤔and thats just anomalous.
India just sent supplies to the dark side so im thinking, New New Delhi? 😊
Making money is action, keeping money is behavior. Growing money is wisdom. I found this out a week ago after getting a $21,900 return on my $3,000 investment in 19days💯.
I knew all except 2
#4 yes, but there could also be rocks that would've missed us if the Moon's gravity hadn't pulled them onto a collision course with us.
Saying that the moon shields the earth is like saying a tree 5 miles away from a tank is shielding the tank.
I'm just curious why, if I weigh 100kg on Earth, I weigh -500kg on the Moon. Or did you mean that I weigh 1/6th of my Earth weight on the Moon?
On the far side of the moon?
More moon.
Alien bases on the far side.
I want to see a radio telescope on the far side of the Moon.
Yeah but they were all wearing suits and carried oxygen tanks.
How would they inhale moon dust!?
