The Moon is an earth satellite orbiting our planet from a
distance of 384,000kms on average, and its orbit is in a west-to-east
direction. Its surface gravity is only 0.16 that of the Earth (one sixth),
and it does not seem to have life on it, since it has neither atmosphere
84
nor water. Minimum and maximum temperatures on it are wide apart,
with +110˚C on the sunlit side and –170˚C in lunar nights. The
geology of this satellite is rock only, and its age is about 4,6 billion
years.
Plans to reach the Moon on space crafts have been on scientists’
minds since early 20th century. But they became more concrete when
the Russians launched space crafts Sputnik 1 and Sputnik 2 in 1957,
the second one carrying dog Laika. In 1961, Yuri Gagarin orbited the
Earth, followed by the American astronaut John Glenn in 1962.
Finally, America won the honour of reaching the Moon before Russia,
when Neil Armstrong set foot on it on July 21st 1969.
There are at present plans to build a space base on the Moon, to
set a giant telescope and launch space ships from there to distant
planets, and perhaps to other solar systems.

just a member of an asteroid belt beyond Neptune, along with 12
newly discovered mini-worlds.
