Mankind has always been fascinated by the moon. It’s mysterious. It’s amazing as it seems to change from crescent to full, and repeats, depending upon our Earth’s intervention between the sun and the moon.
In your childhood, did you hear the story that the moon was made of cheese?
With Halloween coming within a few days, some will be watching to see if a witch will ride a broomstick across the glowing disk. But for many, a full moon is just “romantic.”
More scientifically, it now has been reported that a National Aeronautics and Space Administration probe last year discovered perhaps a billion gallons of water in one crater that the rocket may have “splashed.”
That may sound like a lot of water, enough to fill 1,500 Olympic-size summing pools. But considering the size of the moon – about one-fourth the size of our Earth – that’s not much water when compared with our Pacific and Atlantic oceans, our seas, lakes and rivers.
Is there enough water on the moon to keep the Man in the Moon from getting thirsty – or is it salty?
