The Moon é o único satélite natural da Earth. Ela orbita a Earth a uma distância média de 384,399 quilômetros (238,854 mi). Como a Moon segue um caminho elíptico, sua distância da Earth varia ao longo do ano, variando de 357,000–407,000 quilômetros (222,000–253,000 mi). a distance roughly 30 times the width of Earth. Ela completa uma órbita em relação à Earth e ao Sun (sinodicamente) a cada 29.5 dias. A Moon e a Earth estão ligadas pela atração gravitacional, que é mais forte nos lados que se enfrentam. As forças de maré resultantes são o principal motor das marés da Earth, e puxaram a Moon para sempre virar a Earth com o mesmo lado próximo. Esse travamento de maré sincroniza efetivamente o período de rotação da Moon com seu período orbital.

“We've been to six places on the moon, the Soviets went to three and they shared their samples with us. That's not a lot of area. Samples given out now for research are very tiny. So if an engineer needs a larger amount to conduct the kinds of experiments engineers do having access to a wide range of materials would be good.”

“Moonlight is sculpture; sunlight is painting.”
