Moon - Information on Earth's Moon
The Moon is the only natural satellite of the planet Earth. Because of its size and rocky composition, the moon has also been called a terrestrial planet along with Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. It has no atmosphere, but there is water ice in some deep craters. The moon is the only extra-planetary body that a human has visited.

Total Lunar Eclipse of March 03, 2007
The night sky will give us quite a show Saturday night as the first of two total lunar eclipses in 2007 occurs. This eclipse will be unique in that does not discriminate and will be at least partly visible from every continent around the world. This eclipse occurs at the descending node, 3.2 days before apogee and 1.9 days after the Moon occults Saturn (northern and eastern Europe).

Blue Moon
"Once in a blue moon." You have probably heard this expression before. It usually means not very often. But, is there really such a thing? Well, yes, but it’s probably not what you may think, and it’s definitely not what it used to be.

Harvest Moon
September’s full moon, the Harvest Moon, has a special place in our agricultural history. Through most of the year, the moon rises each day about 50 minutes later than the day before. However, when the autumnal equinox approaches, the difference in rise times drops to about 25 to 30 minutes and even farther north, the difference is 10 to 15 minutes.
