...As the Moon decreases in size, it goes from full to dark, The moon is in her Crone aspect and this is a time of letting go, it is also a time of completion. The moon is waning as it gets smaller again, after the full moon. As the moon seems to disappear in the sky. Like the waxing moon phase, it lasts about 14 days. Goddesses associated with this phase of the moon are Callieach, Banshee, Hecate, Kali, Morrigan. The Waning Moon will slowly reduce in appearance on its way towards the New Moon Phase. The Waning Moon is the point of time where the Moon appears to get gradually smaller, similarly with the Waxing Moon there is a Gibbous phase of this process known as the Waning Gibbous. The Waning Gibbous is the point between the Full Moon and...

...11:00-12:20 1 . In the world of television Japanese style cartoons known as “anime” has seen a recent boom in popularity. A large amount of anime has gone on to become classics in the eyes of its viewers but not everyone makes the cut. Some anime shows really do nothing more than waste peoples time with their lack of inspiration and artistic skill. This can be seen quite clearly the difference after comparing the anime “Sailor moon” and the new version of “Neo Genesis Evangelion”. Sailor moon surpasses Neo Genesis Evangelion in a nearly countless number of ways From the character development, to the plot , even the general impact these shows had on society Sailor moon comes out on top every time. First off Sailor Moon has a much better character development than Neo Genesis Evangelion. In sailor moon the main character Usagi doesn’t seem all that special outside of a need abnormally large need to spend time at the arcade and day dream in a fairly pragmatic society that disapproves of such actions. That changes when she is visit by a talking cat named Luna and told that she must fight to protect humanity. This basic plot outline is one of the biggest changes to how the magical girl genre of anime works. Magical girls were usually told to just have fun with their new found powers but for sailor moon it’s not fun it’s her job. There are lives at stake and real consequences should she lose her powers or use them improperly. This forces the young Usagi...

...In Separate Skies A pallid disc amid the black, Moon was alone—alone, in spite of all the stars in the sky. Although they danced and twinkled and whispered sweet things across time to one another, they spoke not a word to that cratered outcast that nestled itself so close to that which was called Earth. So alone was Moon, in that inky darkness, that she waned and wavered in the sky. Her loneliness seemed to consume her, eat her piece by piece, letting the blackness creep in until it devoured her whole and she was reborn once more, birthed back into the cold night sky—new, but still alone. Her only reprieve from her loneliness, her only solace, could solely be found in those last hours of the night, when a glorious, yellow light crept...

The debris of the collision soon solidified into a flat disk around the earth and eventually all the debris formed into the Moon. During this time the moon was very young and hot. Volcanoes erupted forming the Lunar Mare and many craters were formed on the surface from impacts of celestial bodies. Another theory is “The Capture Theory”...

...All of the articles that I selected relate in that they are all ground breaking events that ultimately had a great impact on our history. They were the first of their time and in the majorify of situations, not in a positive way. To begin on a postive note, we begin with the first man to walk on the moon. Mr. Neal Armstrong was the first man to land on the moon on July 20, 1969. Millions of people were positioned in front of their televisions at home eagerly watching as Mr. Armsrong bounced along the moon carrying an American Flag before he planted it firmly in the Earth. People were in awe at the wonder of what he had done, he'd literally gone where no man had gone before. Fast forward to January 28, 1986 and we're at one of the first tragic events I will be covering in this paper. It's the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded some 70 seconds after take off. Once again millions of people were glued to their television to watch this shuttle take off on a new adventure to only be saddened by the deadly explosion shortly after take off. I don't know that people thought something like this could happen. I think this is one of the earliest most...

...The man on the moon In the year 1969, for the first time ever a man set foot on the moon. It made the news everywhere and it was a very risky mission but it got completed. In the passages we read, it showed us four perspectives. A news article, a speech, a commentary and a political cartoon. All four of these perspectives showed an interaction among the speaker, audience, and subject. Which is called the rhetorical triangle. When someone uses the rhetorical triangle or ethos, pathos, and logos, it makes the passages much more interesting and you’ll get a better understanding on what they are trying to inform. In the first passage, Neil Armstrong is describing his experience being the first man on the moon. The New York Times did a really good job informing the...

...Comparative Essay: Original creation of the Earth PHSC 210, D03-LUO I. Introduction The old-Earth evolution and young-Earth creation debate has been one that has gone on for centuries. Each viewpoint seeks to give an answer to life’s most difficult questions or origins and how the Earth came to be what it resembles today. While the Young Earth viewpoint has remained constant and unchanged throughout the centuries the Old Earth view seems to be continually evolving as new discoveries tend to discredit previous assumptions. One certainty is that both viewpoints take a dogmatic stance against each other in regards to the interpretation of scientific evidence. The purpose of this paper is to compare old-Earth and young-Earth viewpoints on the original creation of the Earth. II. Old-Earth Secular View The old-Earth evolution viewpoint on the original creation of the Earth is the nebular hypothesis. This viewpoint gave birth to evolutionary thought concerning origins. “…the history of evolution did not begin in 1859 with Charles Darwin’s ‘Origin of Species,’ but with the publication in 1796 of Pierre Simon Laplace’s so-called nebular hypothesis” (Numbers. 1977). This viewpoint suggests “About 4.6 billion years ago our solar system formed from a cloud of gas and dust which slowly contracted under the mutual gravity of all of its particles” (The Solar Nebula. N.d.). It is believed that this cloud of gas and dust was spinning at an accelerated rate and...

...Good Morning fellow classmates I am going to talk about the first man ever to walk on the moon. His name was Neil Armstrong. His quote was “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” I chose this speech because it stuck out to me not because he recently passed but they it sounded it just spoke to me. I am going to tell you about how he was brave, a true American, and how he is important to me. I think Neil Armstrong was very brave for multiple reasons. First is that he had gone out there without knowing anything. He didn’t know what was there or what could have happened. I mean yeah they had a basic idea of what was out there but still. He had no clue what he was getting himself into no idea at all. And he was the first person to step foot on the moon and plant the flag that would be pretty scary. Not only was he brave in my opinion but he was a true American. To me Neil was a true American for a couple of things. He did this not only for himself but for the world and mostly our country. And to have that flag on the moon is just special and I bet he felt great putting it up because I know I would. This also proved to the person that pretty much nothing was impossible. That they could get up onto that rock in the sky we call the moon that we could do anything. He was a true American, and he was also important to me. Neil Armstrong in my opinion was a great man and he was important to me. He did this huge thing that made history and completely changed the world. He...

What is it you ask! It is the night of the Harvest Moon. It was years ago while a student at Edison State College and by accident late one night; Gianna first encountered the dancing fairies. For several years she didn’t speak of the incident, not for fear no one would believe her but it was such a beautifully awesome and magical moment she kept to herself.

...Jupiter’s Moons Lab Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to determine the period and semi-major axis for the orbit of each moon around Jupiter. We then apply Kepler’s Laws to calculate the mass of Jupiter from out observations of each moon. Procedure: Choose a moon per lab partner. Open the Moons of Jupiter program by clicking on START → Programs → Academic Department → CLEA Exercises → Jupiter Moons. The Moons of Jupiter program simulates the operation of an automatically controlled telescope with a Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) camera that provides a video image to a computer screen. It is a sophisticated computer program that allows convenient measurements to be made and the telescope's magnification to be adjusted. The computer simulation is realistic in all important ways, and using it will give you a good feel for how modern astronomers actually collect data and control their telescopes. Instead of using a telescope and actually observing the moons for many nights, the Moons of Jupiter computer simulation shows the moons to you as they would appear if you were to look through a telescope at the specified time. Click on File → Log In. A dialog box appears. Enter the names of each student working at your computer. When all the information had been entered to your satisfaction, click OK to continue. Click on File → Run. The next dialog box to appear is called Start Date & Time. Startup values are needed by the computer to establish your initial observation session...

...lives of unicorns and sassy kittens are like. I enjoy reading fictional stories and when I was a child, I would imagine characters with special powers and play with those around me. I do believe I will grab the attention of the readers. They would show interest in the topic through surprise that a college student, in a professional environment, would write about such a childish topic. I want that surprise to bring out their curiosity, causing them to pay attention to the story. Although they may show interest in the beginning, the readers may fade out of the story and get bored by predicting the plot. Have you ever wondered what was on the other side of the moon? There are many stories of aliens or martians on the other side, which has not been proven false, nor has it been proven true, but on the other side of the moon there also lives a kitten. This kitten is known to have the power to torture their enemies through irritation and sass, explaining the reason for the kitten being known as SKB, Sassy Kitty Boss. Many worlds and warriors have trained hard to defeat this boss, but none have yet succeeded. The SKB has become more and more arrogant and became known as SKAB, Sassy Kitty Arrogant Boss. He stopped giving notice to people trying to defeat him because he believed nobody could even touch him. But what nobody knew was that there is a small dwarf planet where there are three warrior unicorns, Paul, Deron, and Kenny La, who...
