A natural satellite, or moon, is a small body that orbits a larger one. There are at least 200 known moons in the solar system, but most of these orbit one of the giant outer planets. Within the solar system’s inner region, there are only three moons. Mercury and Venus have none, Earth has “the Moon”, and Mars has two small, irregularly shaped moons named Phobos and Deimos. Our Moon is made of rock and metal—its composition is similar to the four inner planets. It has little or no atmosphere. The lunar surface is covered in craters caused by impacts from asteroids, comets, and other space rocks. There are large dark regions that astronomers originally referred to as “seas.” Today we know they are areas of solidified lava resulting from volcanic eruptions in the Moon’s distant past.When Is the Best Time to See the Moon? After the Sun, the Moon is the second brightest object in our sky. The Sun and the Moon are the only astronomical bodies that can easily be seen in the daytime. Despite being our nearest neighbor, the far side of the Moon is hidden from us. This is because, like many moons in the solar system, the Moon has synchronous rotation. It takes the same time to spin once on its axis as it does to complete one orbit around the Earth. In other words, the near side of the Moon always faces toward Earth, while the far side always faces away. In practice, only 41 percent of the lunar surface is totally hidden because the Moon wobbles a little in its orbit. This is called libration. As the Moon orbits the Earth, it shows phases as its position changes in relation to the Sun. Every phase offers a good opportunity to observe the Moon. The Full Moon is perhaps the most celebrated phase, closely followed by the slender Waxing Crescent and Waning Crescent phases. The First Quarter and Third Quarter phases are the best time to see the Moon in the blue daytime sky. The New Moon phase is known as the invisible phase, but, occasionally, it can produce one of the most dramatic spectacles in astronomy: a solar eclipse. How Long Is a Day? The Moon takes about 27.32 days to rotate once on its axis. This is called a sidereal day. The Moon’s synchronous rotation means this is also the time it takes to complete one Earth orbit. For an observer standing on the Moon’s surface, however, it takes roughly 29.53 days for the Sun to appear in the same position in the sky. This is a solar day. It’s different from the sidereal day because Earth and the Moon are themselves moving around the Sun. For observers on Earth, 27.32 days and 29.53 days correspond to the sidereal and synodic lunar months. Does the Moon Have Any Moons? The Moon has no natural satellites itself. As far as astronomers are aware, none of the moons in the solar system have their own moons. Human Exploration of the Moon On September 13, 1959—less than two years after the start of the space age—Luna 2 became the first spacecraft to hit the Moon. It was traveling at about 3.3 kilometers per second (around 7400 miles per hour) when it struck the lunar surface. The following month, on October 7, 1959, the Luna 3 spacecraft took the first photographs of the Moon’s far side. The first humans to see the far side for themselves were the three astronauts on board Apollo 8, which went into lunar orbit on December 24, 1968. The most famous date in the history of lunar exploration is July 20, 1969. This was when the Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on Earth’s natural satellite. The date was July 20 for time zones in the United States and July 21 in UTC time. The first soft, controlled landing by a spacecraft on the far side of the Moon did not take place until January 3, 2019. The Chang’e 4 mission included a lunar lander and rover. Sleep, crime, and menstruation: how the Moon affects humans How Long Does It Take to Get to the Moon? It takes a few days to reach the Moon. Luna 2 flew directly from Earth to the Moon, and arrived in less than two days. Apollo 11 took a little longer. It spent a short time in Earth orbit before heading to the Moon. It then slowed and went into orbit around the Moon, before the lunar module detached from the command module and began its descent to the surface. Chang’e 4, meanwhile, spent 22 days in lunar orbit before beginning its descent to the far side.

Snow falls on Desert

Saudi Arabia's usually sun-baked deserts have been transformed into an unexpected winter scene in recent days, as snow blanketed parts of the Al-Jawf region in the northern Al-Nafūd desert. The rare event marks the first snowfall ever recorded in the region, an area traditionally known for its scorching heat and golden sand dunes. Footage shows snowflakes falling across the desert and settling on the sand. In one clip, a caravan of camels is seen walking across a thin layer of ice that has formed on the ground. Locals and tourists were quick to step out of their cars, capturing photos and videos of the unprecedented weather. Temperatures in the Al-Nafud desert can climb as high as 55 degrees Celsius (131 degrees Fahrenheit) during the summer months, making this drastic change in conditions a rare meteorological anomaly. The area's typical temperatures in early November average 17 C with highs of 23 C and lows of 11 C. How formed snow fall? The UAE's National Center of Meteorology explained that the low pressure system's movement triggered a sharp shift in weather patterns, which resulted in the region's rare winter-like conditions. The Saudi Weather Department has issued advisories warning of continued severe weather in the coming days. Forecasts predict further thunderstorms, heavy rainfall and strong winds. Officials urge residents to exercise caution and prepare for disruptions to daily activities. While snowfall in Saudi Arabia is exceptionally rare, it is not without precedent in desert regions globally. How does snow form? Snow forms when tiny ice crystals in clouds stick together to become snowflakes. If enough crystals stick together, they'll become heavy enough to fall to the ground. Snowflakes that descend through moist air that is slightly warmer than 0 °C will melt around the edges and stick together to produce big flakes. Snowflakes that fall through cold, dry air produce powdery snow that does not stick together. Snow is formed when temperatures are low and there is moisture in the atmosphere in the form of tiny ice crystals.

Transformer fire in the Bronx caused an explosion, disrupting Amtrak train services and suspending trains between New York and New Haven. Video footage captured thick smoke and the explosion's impact. Firefighters took three hours to bring the flames under control. The fire began at a nearby warehouse and spread to a substation. Authorities are investigating the causes of both fires. No injuries were reported. Reference https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c6243ve1z0vo

On Dec 5, 1872, the British ship Dei Gratia pulled up alongside the Mary Celeste and found it abandoned and adrift about 400 miles (644 km) east of the Azores. A lifeboat was missing, but there was no damage to the vessel or sign of any struggle. The 10 passengers and crew aboard the vessel were never seen again, and what happened on board the ship has been a mystery ever since. Many theories have been put forward. One suggests that a leak from the ship's cargo of alcohol may have prompted the crew to abandon ship because of fears it would catch fire and blow up. Another theory is that a waterspout may have threatened the vessel. To this day, the mystery has never been solved, it likely never will be.

A plane landed after 37 years later

Pan Am Flight 914 is a hoax that a Douglas DC-4 disappeared after a takeoff in 1955 and only landed again three decades later. The hoax alleges that a Pan Am Douglas DC-4 with 57 passengers crew members disappeared without a trace on a flight from New York City to Miami on July 2, 1955. After 30 years (37 in some sources), the plane was sighted again near Caracas, and then after landing at the airport there, the plane immediately took off again and finally landed at its original destination in Miami. In Internet forums, there was speculation, among other things, as to whether it had been a journey through time through a wormhole. The hoax originates from a 1985 article in the Weekly World News, a tabloid known for false stories. The article was re-published in 1993 and 1999. The image of the plane is a stock photo of a Trans World Airlines DC-4. There are no contemporary sources of the incident in the press or the Civil Aeronautics Board accident reports.[1] There is no indication in any of the full production lists for the DC-4 that such an event took place on any of the 1,244 machines of this type built, including the Pan Am.
