		The heavens, starting at the Moon, were the realm of perfection, the sublunary region was the realm of change and corruption, and any resemblance between these regions was strictly ruled out.
		He suggested that the Moon had deep recesses in which the light of the Sun did not reach and that the spots are nothing but the shadows of rivers or deep chasms.
		It had been suggested already in Antiquity that the Moon was a perfect mirror and that its markings were reflections of earthly features, but this explanation was easily dismissed because the face of the Moon never changes as it moves about the Earth.

		Some cultures trying to explain the different shapes of the moon (phases) saw them as the story of life and death: the crescent moon is the infant, growing stronger and stronger until maturity at full moon and then growing weaker and weaker and then dying at new moon, only to be born again.
		The theories of its origin are many and varied: the moon was a piece spun off from the earth, possibly from the Pacific Ocean basin floor, which subsequently caused the continental drift; the Earth had captured a large, perfectly spherical asteroid or meteorite; rings of orbiting materials around the Earth accreted into a moon.
		An unanswered question remains about the moon abut why the crust on the far side seems to be tough enough to withstand an impact which should have destroyed the little moon, while the near side's crust is so thin as to have let mantle material escape.

		The tallest mountains on the Earth are 29,000 to 30,000 feet tall (Mt. Everest in the Himalayas, Mauna Kea in the Pacific...measured from its base at the floor of the ocean).
		The tallest mountains on the moon are around 16,000 to 20,000 feet tall, from the references I could dig up: Rukl, "Atlas of the Moon" http://library.thinkquest.org/C004044/moon.htm http://pi.isu.edu/Geo_Pgt/Mod06_Moon_a_b/moon_pages/mod6Part1.htm OK, the Earth wins.
		Similarly, the mountains of the moon may not be as tall, but they sure do last a long time.

		The park's reopening is expected to give a welcome boost to Uganda's tourism industry, which has been hit by several years of rebel activity in the country's border areas and an outbreak late last year of the deadly Ebola virus.
