Psylas:
I love science

LoJ:

I think we shoud stop bashing the mods. Yes the vast majority of FP topics are celebrities and gossip oriented. Still, They are gradually trying to get some relevant scientific topics to the FP. Bashing them relentlessly won't help our cause, but rather may upset them. The ball is now in our court to create more and more instructive topics, written and elaborated in a way that appeals to the common individual, not just those accustomed to the scientific jargon/lexicon.

And that's what Johnydon22 is trying to do. We should join in and team up with the mods to promote science in nairaland and Africa.

Greetings.

But astronomy keeps things colourful and fun actually

antispexish:


you think we are tiny? Go read about the "pillars of creation" and u'll see that that tiny is too big a word to use for our size

johnydon22:
Yes she is one of the most popular celestial objects in the sky, graces our night sky like a patch of glowing ball.

Lunar is the name of the Earth's only natural satellite called a Moon.

She is so important to us that we have a day specially named after it. Monday (Moon day).

She is deified as a Goddess to many cultures, one of the determining clock hands of our time measurement and a very fascinating celestial neighbour she is to us.

All of us have seen the moon, in fact we have spent countless nights mopping at it and imagining what actually that is, it has been a subject of our imaginations and lores as children.

Now let us quickly run through several facts about our dear Lunar to get to know her more

[b]2. The moon is as bright as Coal

WTF!!!

Did i hear you say that? Yeah thats what we all are supposed to say to this one..
I mean we all see this glowing ball brightly throwing down silvery rays of a shadowy beam.

But in actuality the moon is a very very very Dark object not even brighter than a Coal.

The light we get from the moon has nothing to do with the moon, the moon has no light at all but rather acts as a reflective plate for the sunlight it gets from the sun..

You must have noticed that during a crescent or half moon you can see the remaining outline of the full moon but it remains pitch dark, that is because that side is shielded from direct sunlight.

Or during an eclipse the moon becomes a fully mean ominous dark opaque object to us.

So without light from the sun hitting the moon, it is just one pitch black piece of coal..

Even with as much sunlight as it gets the moon has a very poor reflective ability that it only reflects 12% maximum of all the light it gets from the sun, compare this with Venus that reflects almost 75%.

If Venus was as close to us as the moon, our nights would just be like evening because Venus is way too bright no wonder it is called the morning sun, when do we get to sleep if that was the case?

The earth is by far brighter than the moon, the earth reflects more than 55% of the sun light it gets.. so the earth is more than 7times brighter than the moon.

So the moon is not a light and so doesn't shine it only reflects a very poor amount of sunlight it gets..

Amd yourr holy book has the facts

Dawdy:
Nobody has ever been to the moon. NASA has not been able to capture the earth, just animated photos have been shown to you. Gravity remains unproven theory. Earth is not spinning around the sun. All are lies By Nasa.

Culin:
wow! educative..and scary

Epic Thread

mojeer678:


What's epic about a regurgitated narrative full of errors and plain untruths.

What manned mission went to the moon? How NASA mooned the US has been dealt with on NL several times. Maybe you're only a nwebie, sorry then

FYI, the moon was towed here from elsewhere and it's completely hollow, et.c.

But what would you do with these info?

smh
