 Phases of the Moon and Percent of the Moon Illuminated   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The phases of the Moon are related to (actually, caused by) the relative positions of the Moon and Sun in the sky.
Considering the Moon as a circular disk, the ratio of the area illuminated by direct sunlight to its total area is the fraction of the Moon's surface illuminated; multiplied by 100, it is the percent illuminated.
For practical purposes, phases of the Moon and the percent of the Moon illuminated are independent of the location on the Earth from where the Moon is observed.

 Calling McNabb a quarterback first   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Moon is the most accomplished African-American quarterback in NFL history, with nine Pro Bowls to his credit in a 17-year career (despite having to start out in the Canadian Football League, to ward off having to switch positions).
Moon has seen McNabb cut down on his running, seemingly at least in part to satisfy the conventional wisdom that top quarterbacks are drop-back passers.
Moon said he was encouraged not only by McNabb's presence in the game, but by the fact that three of the six quarterbacks on the Patriots' and Eagles' rosters are African-American.

 The Moon - Zoom Astronomy
The moon is a cold, dry orb whose surface is studded with craters and strewn with rocks and dust (called regolith).
Also, from any spot on the moon (except on the far side of the moon where you cannot see the Earth), the Earth would always be in the same place in the sky; the phase of the Earth changes and the Earth rotates, displaying various continents.
At its closest approach (the lunar perigee) the moon is 221,460 miles (356,410 km) from the Earth.

 General Science 2310 - Moon Phases and Tides
The bulges of water that we most commonly call tides are a consequence of the water closest to the moon being attracted to a greater degree than is the solid mass of the Earth, which is itself attracted to a greater degree than is the water furthest from the Moon.
High tide will occur at a particular point on the Earth's surface when the Moon is crossing the meridian (closest to that point on the Earth) and when the Moon crosses the line 180 degrees from the meridian (farthest away).
Although the Gravitational force from the Sun is ~200 times stronger than that from the Moon, it is the difference in Gravitational force between the near and far sides of the Earth that give rise to the tidal force.

 Atomic Astrologer - The Moon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Moon is the archetype for the mother and the Taoist principle of "yin", that is, passive receptivity.
The Moon acts as a repository for all the past life experiences crystallized into moods, emotions and unconscious habits that surface in response to stimulation from the current life environment.
The Moon functions in our being to portray these responses as aggregates of our past personalities so that we may observe our "way of being" from the past in the present and make room for change.

 OzDASL: The Moon Illusion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
To test this hypothesis, Kaufman and Rock (1962) devised an apparatus that allowed them to present two artificial moons, one at the horizon and one at the zenith, and to control whether the subjects elevated their eyes or kept them level to see the zenith moon.
Subjects were asked to adjust the variable horizon moon to match the size of the zenith moon or vice versa.
For each subject the ratio of the perceived size of the horizon moon to the perceived size of the zenith moon was recorded with eyes elevated and with eyes level.

 The Moon
The Moon's gravitational attraction is stronger on the side of the Earth nearest to the Moon and weaker on the opposite side.
Actually, the Moon appears to wobble a bit (due to its slightly non-circular orbit) so that a few degrees of the far side can be seen from time to time, but the majority of the far side (left) was completely unknown until the Soviet spacecraft Luna 3 photographed it in 1959.
There were three principal theories: co-accretion which asserted that the Moon and the Earth formed at the same time from the Solar Nebula; fission which asserted that the Moon split off of the Earth; and capture which held that the Moon formed elsewhere and was subsequently captured by the Earth.

 OGame Tips: "Once in a blue moon" (General Moon FAQ)
A moon is a satellite that orbits a planet due to its gravitational pull.
Provided the moon belongs to a planet you control, you can base your fleet there, and provided it belongs to a planet belonging to another player you are allowed to attack, you can attack/espionage one.
The general consensus states that the destruction of 1,667 Light Fighters in the orbit of a planet is the most cost-effective method for a 20% moonchance, due to the Light Fighter’s low cost and good ratio of metal to crystal.

A visitor study was conducted at the monument by the University of Idaho Cooperative Park Studies Unit during the summer of 1988.
The study confirmed general impressions about visitors, their points of origin, and activities while at Craters of the Moon.
Those surveyed were asked "If you were planning for the future management of Craters of the Moon National Monument, what would you propose?" The suggestions were quite wide-ranging; however, it would be inaccurate to say that visitors identified major problem areas since many of the comments were made by one or two persons.

It is surrounded by a thick nitrogen-rich atmosphere that scientists believe is very similar to what the Earth had when it was forming, although there is no water on Titan as its climate is freezing at -180 degrees Celcius.
The mission was for the NASA-backed transport rocket Cassini to reach Saturn and then drop the Huygens probe on to the surface of the moon.
There were six instruments on board to measure the physical and chemical make-up of Titan's atmosphere, which is the solar system's only moon to have one, and examine its surface.
