www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLXcP4medWQ&NR=1This video was made by the history channel, and addresses alot of information about the moon. There are additional videos from this same series you might find interesting on the youtube site. After part one ends, parts 2, 3 and 5 are available links. Part two notes why the moon is so important, and part 5 discusses the currently accepted view of how the moon got there. Part 3 discusses some old ideas about the moon, so you may or may not want to view it. I have made separate threads with some of these videos. After watching any of the videos, post some of the most interesting things you learned and/or what new questions you have after this short introduction. Also, try to make this thread into a discussion: rather than just posting your ideas, reply to other students' ideas.

i dont believe in the big bang theory but after watching this video i learned:
-we are not the only planet with a moon
-names lunar from the greeks
-the moon and earth are very close
-23400miles from eachother
-1day on the moon = 27.3 days on earth
-2160 mile diameter
- one side of the moon perminitly faces us
-moon has no atmosphere
-can't talk on the moon except by radio
-no are molecules (s.p?)
- 270at day -240 at night
-little meteors hit the moon
-also big meteors too

OUR opinions are that first of all PRETTY COLORS!!!! Second of all the man on the moon thing is weird. BUT fascinating. I (jocelyn) am wondering why we can't hear each other on the moon. only by radio. I hope we learn that in class. YAY! anyways our other opinions are that we wish it would have explained the harvest moon and why it happens. does anyone know why??!!!!! because me and michelle are both wondering why.

woah!!! I learned alot and I didn't think that I would be that interested!!! I learned that the other planets have moons and some of them have alot!!! I also learned that on the moon they have to use a radio to talk to each other because you wont be able to hear what they are saying!! The last thing I learned was that on the moon there is some type of form they say is to shape a humans face!!!

I think that a settlement on the moon would be difficult because of the asteriods coming from space so I think That it is nearly impossible.

BENNY MAKES A GOOD POINT BECAUSE IF THEY ARE NOT ATTACHED FROM SOMETHING THEY MIGHT GET HIT BY SOMETHING AND FLOAT OFF

How come our moon is so important to us? Other planets have more than one. But everyone researches ours and makes a big deal out of it, but its not that special compared to others.
