Life on the Moon

Breaking News…Breaking News…..Breaking News..

Indias’s probe to the moon, Chandrayan, has discovered evidence of water in the lunar surface. Although the dust which covers the moon appears as a fine dry powder, it seems that there are water molecules locked away within its minerals.This means that in future if ever we were to go a nd actually try a live on the moon we could probably extract the water , a basic need for life.

Considering that the moon was actually formed from Earth along time ago, it’s only natural that we find water there! I wonder what else they will find there….gold, uranium and other very precious metals probably! I predict that a mining and drilling mission to the moon will be next. Watch this space…!

The Largest Full Moon for 15 Years!

If you watch out for the Moon tonight, you will see the largest FULL MOON for 15 years.
The Moon has a slightly oval orbit . Tonight the Moon will be at the closest point to the Earth at the same time as it reaches the FULL MOON phase in its 28 day lunar cycle. This means that , clouds permitting, it should be the brightest and the largest it has been for 15 years. There should also be some meteorites passing through.

I hope that you get a chance to witness this awe inspiring natural event! If it is cloudy, CLICK HERE to see how it should look!
