 Moon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gravitational attraction that the Moon exerts on Earth is the cause of tides in the sea.
The tidal bulges on Earth, caused by the Moon's gravity, are carried ahead of the apparent position of the Moon by the Earth's rotation, in part because of the friction of the water as it slides over the ocean bottom and into or out of bays and estuaries.
For escaping at the surface of the Moon from the Moon and the Earth, the escape velocity is the square root of the sum of the squares of the separate escape velocities of 2.4 and 1.5 km/s, or 2.8 km/s.

 List of features on the Moon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Moon's surface is covered in many interesting geologic features.
The listed diameter for these features is the longest dimension that contains the entire geological formation.

The distinguishing feature of the far side is its almost complete lack of maria (singular: mare), which are the dark albedo feature s.
The gravitational attraction that the Moon exerts on Earth is the cause of tide s in the sea.
The points where the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic are called the " lunar node s": the North (or ascending) node is where the Moon crosses to the North of the ecliptic; the South (or descending) node where it crosses to the South.

 Moon - free-definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Each hour the Moon moves in the sky by an amount roughly equal to its angular diameter, or by about 0.5°.
This synchronous rotation is a result of friction having slowed down the Moon's rotation in its early history, a process known as tidal locking.
As a result of tidal locking, Earth's rotation is also gradually being slowed down by the Moon, and the Moon is slowly receding from Earth (at the rate of 38 mm per year) as Earth's rotational momentum is transferred to the Moon's orbital momentum (the Earth's day thus lengthens by about 15 µs every year).

The Moon, photographed by the Galileo spacecraft at a distance of about 560,000 km (350,000 miles)
The most generally accepted theory states that the Moon originated from the collision between the young Earth and an impactor the size of Mars (sometimes called Theia) and was formed from material ejected from Earth as a result of the collision.
[2] ( http://physicsweb.org/article/news/5/8/13) This theory is also corroborated by the fact that the Moon has all the same minerals as Earth, albeit in different proportions.

 Howstuffworks "How Telescopes Work"
The moon is well known, so you can readily find maps or images of the moon, whether online or in periodicals or textbooks, to help you identify features that you observe.
Contrary to popular belief, the best time to observe the moon is not during a full moon, but rather when the moon is between the last quarter and first quarter, because the sun shines at an angle to the lunar features and provides good relief.
Sometimes, it is helpful to use a moon filter to enhance the contrast of the views and bring out details.
