The moon?

[andrea81]

Why do we only see one side of the moon? And why don't we ever get to see the dark side from earth?

[andrea81]

Yes but what did Waldo say to make you realise that it was the album he was refering to? It's gone over my head!

[andrea81]

also REVERAND, do you think we've been to the moon?

[Reverandfunk]

I don't know to be honest.

If we have why haven't we been back for 30 years?

The lunar landing module looked like something off Blue Peter

Funny how it all coincided with Vietnam...

[andrea81]

Yes many things to think about there isn't there REV, Nixon was president then and he was far form honest???

I'm not sure either, the Russians were ahead of America in everything to do with the space race accept this, out of the blue they landed there??? Not sure!

[dustypuss]

[Loosehead]

[andrea81]

I dont get Pink Floyd...

My hubby loves them and I have given them a go but prefer 'Scissor sisters version of comfortably numb!

But anyway back to the moon. where on it is the Sea of tranquility and can I see it through binoculars????

[WaldoMcFroog]

Sorry - I really didn't mean to create such a fuss!!

[andrea81]

No need to worry Waldo, a thread is a thread!

[mibn2cweus]

I'd like to stick this thread where the Sun don't shine!

Oooohoo hooo . . . that tickles!

[mibn2cweus]

Butt . . . seriously.

The half of the Moon and Earth facing the Sun are thereby fully illuminated. The other half of each are accordingly darker by virtue of their own respective shadows.

The �dark side� actually receives as much sunlight throughout the course of the month as the side facing us. When we see the Moon half lit, the �dark side� opposite the Earth is also half lit. When the Moon is not lit on the side we observe from Earth this is called a �New Moon� and the other side is completely illuminated by the Sun.

Only when the Moon is �Full� is �the dark side of the Moon� actually dark. Wish You Were Here!

[mibn2cweus]

And now for the answer to your question?

[andrea81]

Well I think i've exhausted this thread and know a fraction more about the moon now thanks to all of you brainy people out there! - Just one more question though?

What cheese do you think its made of?

[mibn2cweus]

[dustypuss]

The moon is made of cheddar cheese and the moon mice are very happy and fat
