Name and etymology
The proper
English name for Earth's natural satellite is, simply, the Moon (capitalized).
[11][12] Moon is a
Germanic word, related to the Latin
mensis and Ancient Greek μήνας (mēnas) both meaning month, and Μήνη (Mēnē) (alternate name for Selēnē in Ancient Greek).
[13][14] It is ultimately a derivative of the
Proto-Indo-European root
me-, also represented in
measure[15] (
time), with reminders of its importance in measuring time in words derived from it like
Monday,
month and
menstrual. The related adjective is
lunar, as well as an adjectival prefix
seleno- and suffix
-selene (from
selēnē,
σελήνη, the
Ancient Greek word for the Moon). In English, the word
moon exclusively meant "the Moon" until 1665, when it was extended to refer to the recently discovered
natural satellites of other planets.
[15] Subsequently, these objects were given distinct names to avoid confusion.
[12] The Moon is occasionally referred to by its Latin name
Luna, primarily in science fiction.

The
topography of the Moon has been measured by the methods of laser altimetry and stereo image analysis, most recently from data obtained during the
Clementine mission. The most visible topographic feature is the giant far side
South Pole-Aitken basin, which possesses the lowest elevations of the Moon. The highest elevations are found just to the north-east of this basin, and it has been suggested that this area might represent thick
ejecta deposits that were emplaced during an oblique South Pole-Aitken basin impact event.

Another distinguishing feature of the Moon's shape is that the elevations are on average about 1.9 km higher on the far side than the near side.
[1]
Maria
The dark and relatively featureless lunar plains which can clearly be seen with the naked eye are called
maria (singular
mare), Latin for seas, since they were believed by ancient
astronomers to be filled with water. These are now known to be vast solidified pools of ancient
basaltic lava. The majority of these lavas erupted or flowed into the depressions associated with
impact basins that formed by the collisions of meteors and comets with the lunar surface. (
Oceanus Procellarum is a major exception in that it does not correspond to a known impact basin.)

These
peaks of eternal light are possible because of the Moon's extremely small axial tilt to the
ecliptic plane. No similar regions of eternal light were found at the south pole, although the rim of
Shackleton crater is illuminated for about 80% of the lunar day. Other consequences of the Moon's small axial tilt are regions that remain in permanent shadow at the bottoms of many polar craters.

Lunar crater
Daedalus on the Moon's far side
The surface of Earth's Moon is marked by
impact craters[27] which form when asteroids and comets collide with the lunar surface. There are about half a million craters with diameters greater than 1 km on the Moon.
. Since impact craters accumulate at a nearly constant rate, the number of craters per unit area superposed on a geologic unit can be used to estimate the age of the surface (see
crater counting).

Serenitatis,
Crisium, and

Regolith
Blanketed on top of the Moon's crust is a highly
comminuted (broken into ever smaller particles) and "impact gardened" surface layer called
regolith. Since the regolith forms by impact processes, the regolith of older surfaces is generally thicker than for younger surfaces. In particular, it has been estimated that the regolith varies in thickness from about 3–5 m in the maria, and by about 10–20 m in the highlands.
[30] Beneath the finely comminuted regolith layer is what is generally referred to as the
megaregolith. This layer is many kilometres thicker and comprises highly fractured bedrock.

Astronauts have reported that the
dust from the surface felt like snow and smelled like spent

However, the current
obliquity of the Moon means that the Sun never rises above 1.85° at the poles, and the axial tilt of the Moon has remained at its present orientation for the past two billion years, allowing the craters at the poles to remain in permanent shadow for that length of time.

Before that point, the Moon had much larger values for its obliquity, possibly reaching angles as high as 77° for periods of several hundred thousand years.
[34]
Clementine has mapped craters at the lunar south pole
[35] that are shadowed in this way, and computer simulations suggest that up to 14,000 km² might be in permanent shadow.
[26] Results from the
Clementine mission bistatic radar experiment are consistent with small, frozen pockets of water close to the surface, and data from the
Lunar Prospector neutron spectrometer indicate that anomalously high concentrations of hydrogen are present in the upper metre of the regolith near the polar regions.
[36] Estimate for the quantity of water on the Moon is 32 ounces per short ton (1 kg/Mg) of the top layer of Moon's surface.

However, recent observations made with the
Arecibo planetary radar suggest that some of the near-polar Clementine radar data that were previously interpreted as indicating water ice might instead be a result of rocks ejected from young impact craters.
[37] In July 2008, small amounts of water were found in the interior of volcanic pearls from the Moon (brought to Earth in 1971 by the Apollo 15 astronauts).
[38][39]
On September 24, 2009, the
Indian Space Research Organisation (
ISRO) reported that their first lunar mission,
Chandrayaan-1 using
NASA's
Moon Mineralogy Mapper, found evidence of large quantities of water on the Moon's surface, and that water is still presently being formed.

The position and shape of the line indicate the absorption is due to water. A nearby line also revealed the presence of the closely-related molecule
hydroxyl. The exact abundance of water was not determined, but the team believed it could be as high as 1,000
parts per million in the top layer of Lunar soil. On November 13, 2009, NASA announced the results of the
Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, saying that "not just water, but lots of water" had been found by the mission near the southern pole.

Physical characteristics
Internal structure
The Moon is a
differentiated body, being composed of a geochemically distinct
crust,
mantle, and
core. This structure is hypothesized to have resulted from the
fractional crystallization of a
magma ocean shortly after its formation, at about 4.4 billion years ago
[43]. The energy required to melt the outer portion of the Moon is commonly attributed to a
giant impact event that is postulated to have formed the Earth-Moon system, and the subsequent reaccretion of material in Earth orbit. Crystallization of this magma ocean would have created a
mafic mantle and a
plagioclase-rich crust (see
Origin and geologic evolution below).
Geochemical mapping from orbit implies that the crust of the Moon is largely
anorthositic in composition,
[5] consistent with the magma ocean hypothesis. In terms of elements, the crust is composed primarily of
oxygen (41% to 46% by mass),
silicon (21%),
magnesium (6%),
iron (13%),
calcium (8%), and
aluminium (7%).
[44][45] Based on geophysical techniques, its thickness is estimated to be on average about 50 km.
[1]
Partial melting within the mantle of the Moon caused the eruption of mare basalts on the lunar surface.

Some lunar basalts contain high abundances of
titanium (present in the mineral
ilmenite), suggesting that the mantle is highly heterogeneous in composition. Moonquakes have been found to occur deep within the mantle of the Moon about a thousand kilometres below the surface. These occur with monthly periodicities and are related to tidal stresses caused by the eccentric orbit of the Moon about the Earth.
[1]
The Moon has a mean density of 3 346.4 kg/m³, making it the second densest moon in the Solar System after
Io. Nevertheless, several lines of evidence imply that the core of the Moon is small, with a radius of about 350 km or less.
[1] This corresponds to only about 20% the size of the Moon, in contrast to about 50% as is the case for most other terrestrial bodies. The composition of the lunar core is not well constrained, but most believe that it is composed of metallic iron alloyed with a small amount of
sulfur and
nickel. Analyses of the Moon's time-variable rotation indicate that the core is at least partly molten.
[46]
Gravity field
The gravitational field of the Moon has been determined through tracking of radio signals emitted by orbiting spacecraft. The principle used depends on the
Doppler effect, whereby the spacecraft acceleration in the line-of-sight direction can be determined by means of small shifts in frequency of the radio signal, and the distance from the spacecraft to a station on Earth. However, because of the Moon's
synchronous rotation it is not possible to track spacecraft much over the
limbs of the Moon, and the farside gravity field is thus only poorly characterised.
[47]
The major characteristic of the Moon's gravitational field is the presence of
mascons, which are large positive gravitational anomalies associated with some of the giant
impact basins.
[48] These anomalies greatly influence the orbit of spacecraft about the Moon, and an accurate gravitational model is necessary in the planning of both manned and unmanned missions. The mascons are in part due to the presence of dense mare basaltic lava flows that fill some of the impact basins. However, lava flows by themselves cannot explain the entirety of the gravitational signature, and uplift of the crust-mantle interface is required as well. Based on
Lunar Prospector gravitational models, it has been suggested that some mascons exist that do not show evidence for mare basaltic volcanism.
[49] The huge expanse of mare basaltic volcanism associated with

[50] One hypothesis holds that the crustal magnetizations were acquired early in lunar history when a geodynamo was still operating. The small size of the lunar core, however, is a potential obstacle to this theory. Alternatively, it is possible that on an airless body such as the Moon, transient magnetic fields could be generated during large impact events. In support of this, it has been noted that the largest crustal magnetizations appear to be located near the
antipodes of the giant impact basins.

Atmosphere
The Moon has an atmosphere so thin as to be almost negligible, with a total atmospheric mass of less than 10
4 kg.
[52] The effective surface pressure of this small mass is around 3 × 10
−15 atm (0.3
nPa).
[53] This pressure varies with the diurnal moon cycle. One source of its atmosphere is
outgassing—the release of gases such as
radon that originate by
radioactive decay processes within the crust and mantle.
[54] Another important source is generated through the process of
sputtering, which involves the bombardment of micrometeorites, solar wind ions, electrons, and sunlight.

- Capture hypothesis
- Other speculation has centered on the Moon being formed elsewhere and subsequently being captured by Earth's gravity.[62] However, the conditions conjectured necessary for such a mechanism to work, such as an extended atmosphere of the Earth to dissipate the energy of the passing Moon, are improbable.[61]
- Co-formation hypothesis
- The co-formation hypothesis proposes that the Earth and the Moon formed together at the same time and place from the primordial accretion disk.

Lunar magma ocean
As a result of the large amount of energy converted during both the giant impact event and the subsequent reaccretion of material in Earth orbit, it is commonly hypothesized that a large portion of the Moon was once initially molten.
.^ Ailish yeh i absolutely agree, Lots of times when i think about new moon this songs pops into my head.- New Moon Soundtrack — New Moon Movie 28 January 2010 0:30 UTC www.newmoonmovie.org [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]
[21]
As the magma ocean cooled, it fractionally crystallised and
differentiated, creating a geochemically distinct crust and mantle. The mantle is inferred to have formed largely by the precipitation and sinking of the minerals
olivine,
clinopyroxene, and
orthopyroxene. After about three-quarters of magma ocean crystallisation was complete, the mineral
anorthite is inferred to have precipitated and floated to the surface because of its low density, forming the crust.
[21]
The final liquids to crystallise from the magma ocean would have been initially sandwiched between the crust and mantle, and would have contained a high abundance of incompatible and heat-producing elements. This geochemical component is referred to by the acronym
KREEP, for
potassium (K),
rare earth elements (REE), and
phosphorus (P), and appears to be concentrated within the
Procellarum KREEP Terrane, which is a small geologic province that encompasses most of
Oceanus Procellarum and
Mare Imbrium on the near side of the Moon.
[1]
Geologic evolution
A large portion of the Moon's post–magma-ocean geologic (or, more properly, "selenologic") evolution was dominated by impact cratering. The
lunar geologic timescale is largely divided in time based on prominent basin-forming impact events, such as
Nectaris,
Imbrium, and
Orientale. These impact structures are characterised by multiple rings of uplifted material, and are typically hundreds to thousands of kilometres in diameter. Each multi-ring basin is associated with a broad apron of ejecta deposits that forms a regional stratigraphic horizon.

The continuous effects of impact cratering are responsible for forming the
regolith.
The other major geologic process that affected the Moon's surface was
mare volcanism. The enhancement of heat-producing elements within the
Procellarum KREEP Terrane is thought to have caused the underlying mantle to heat up, and eventually, to partially melt. A portion of these magmas rose to the surface and erupted, accounting for the high concentration of mare basalts on the near side of the Moon.
[21] Most of the Moon's
mare basalts erupted during the Imbrian period in this geologic province 3.0–3.5 billion years ago. Nevertheless, some dated samples are as old as 4.2 billion years,
[66] and the youngest eruptions, based on the method of
crater counting, are hypothesized to have occurred only 1.2 billion years ago.
[67]
There has been controversy over whether features on the Moon's surface undergo changes over time.

Nevertheless, it is known that the phenomenon of

lunar transient phenomena. Recently, it has been suggested that a roughly 3 km diameter region of the lunar surface was modified by a gas release event about a million years ago.

The lunar highlands rocks are composed of three suites: the
ferroan anorthosite suite, the
magnesian suite, and the
alkali suite (some consider the alkali suite to be a subset of the mg-suite). The ferroan anorthosite suite rocks are composed almost exclusively of the mineral
anorthite (a calic
plagioclase feldspar), and are hypothesized to represent plagioclase flotation cumulates of the lunar magma ocean. The ferroan anorthosites have been dated using radiometric methods to have formed about 4.4 billion years ago.
[66][67]
The mg- and alkali-suite rocks are predominantly mafic plutonic rocks. Typical rocks are
dunites,
troctolites,
gabbros, alkali
anorthosites, and more rarely,
granite. In contrast to the ferroan anorthosite suite, these rocks all have relatively high Mg/Fe ratios in their mafic minerals.

The gravitational attraction of the Sun on the Earth's oceans is almost half that of the Moon, and this interplay is responsible for spring and neap tides.
Gravitational coupling between the Moon and the bulge nearest the Moon affects its orbit. From the Moon's perspective, the center of mass of the near-Moon tidal bulge is perpetually slightly
ahead of the point about which it is orbiting. In the same way, the bulge farthest from the Moon lags
behind, but as it is 12,756 km farther away, it has slightly less gravitational coupling to the Moon. This gravitational asymmetry of forces attracts the Moon
forward in its orbit. This gravitational coupling acts like a
torque on the Earth's rotation, and drains
angular momentum and rotational
kinetic energy from the Earth's spin. In turn, angular momentum is added to the Moon's orbit, accelerating it, which lifts the Moon into a higher orbit with a longer period.

In this way, a solar eclipse is an occultation of the Sun. Because the Moon is comparatively close to the Earth, occultations of individual stars are not visible everywhere on the planet, nor at the same time. Due to the
precession of the lunar orbit, each year different stars are occulted.

This is followed by Gibbous, Last Quarter and Crescent to complete full circle at the New Moon again.
On average, the Moon covers an area of 0.21078 square degrees on the night sky.
[82] The Moon does appear larger when close to the horizon, but this is a purely psychological effect: the
Moon illusion.
The Moon appears as a relatively bright object in the sky, in spite of its low
albedo. The Moon is about the poorest reflector in the
solar system and reflects only about 7% of the light incident upon it (about the same proportion as is reflected by a lump of
coal). However, the Moon is not a
Lambertian scatterer and reflects more light back towards the Sun (albedo of 13.6%
[3]) than in other directions because of the spherical glass beads in the
moondust. This increases the brightness of a full Moon.
[83] It also has the effect of making the edges of a full Moon seem about as bright as the centre. Besides this,
color constancy in the
visual system recalibrates the relations between the colours of an object and its surroundings, and since the surrounding sky is comparatively dark the sunlit Moon is perceived as a bright object.
The highest
altitude of the Moon on a day varies and has nearly the same limits as the Sun. It also depends on the Earth season and lunar phase, with the full Moon being highest in winter. Moreover, the 18.6 year nodes cycle also has an influence, as when the ascending node of the lunar orbit is in the vernal equinox, the lunar declination can go as far as 28° each month (which happened most recently in 2006).

The orientation of the Moon's crescent also depends on the latitude of the observation site. Close to the equator, an observer can see a
boat Moon.

Like the Sun, the Moon can cause atmospheric effects, including a 22°
halo ring, and the smaller
coronal rings seen more often through thin clouds.

Current era: 1990-present
Post-Apollo and Luna, many more countries have become involved in direct exploration of the Moon.
In 1990, Japan orbited the Moon with the
Hiten spacecraft, becoming the third country to place a spacecraft into lunar orbit. The spacecraft released a smaller probe,
Hagormo, in lunar orbit, but the transmitter failed, preventing further scientific use of the mission.
In 1994, the U.S. sent the joint Defense Department/NASA spacecraft
Clementine to lunar orbit. This mission obtained the first near-global topographic map of the Moon, and the first global
multispectral images of the lunar surface. This was followed by the
Lunar Prospector mission in 1998. The
neutron spectrometer on
Lunar Prospector indicated the presence of excess hydrogen at the lunar poles, which is likely to have been caused by the presence of water ice in the upper few meters of the regolith within permanently shadowed craters. On January 14, 2004, U.S. President
George W. Bush called for a plan to resume manned missions to the Moon by 2020 (see
Vision for Space Exploration).
[89] NASA is now planning for the construction of a permanent outpost at one of the lunar poles.

[91] On October 22, 2008 India launched the

[92] The U.S. co-launched the
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and the
Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) on June 18, 2009.
Russia also announced intentions to resume its previously frozen project
Luna-Glob, consisting of an unmanned lander and orbiter, which is slated to land in 2012.
[93] The
Google Lunar X Prize, announced September 13, 2007, hopes to boost and encourage privately funded lunar exploration. The
X Prize Foundation is offering anyone US$20 million who can land a robotic rover on the Moon and meet other specified criteria.

In
Mesopotamia,
Babylonian astronomers by the early first millenium BC had discovered a repeating 18-year cycle of
lunar eclipses. They had also known by this time that 19 solar years is about equal to 235 lunar months. In the 2nd century BC,
Seleucus of Seleucia correctly theorized that
tides were caused by the Moon, although he believed that the interaction was mediated by the
Earth's atmosphere. According to
Strabo (1.1.9), Seleucus was the first to state that the
tides are due to the attraction of the Moon, and that the height of the tides depends on the Moon's position relative to the
Sun.
[95]
Among the first in the Western world to offer a scientific explanation for the Moon was the
Greek philosopher
Anaxagoras (d. 428 BC), who reasoned that the Sun and Moon were both giant spherical rocks, and that the latter reflected the light of the former. His atheistic view of the heavens was one cause for his imprisonment and eventual exile.
[96] In
Aristotle's (384–322 BC) description of the universe, the Moon marked the boundary between the spheres of the mutable elements (earth, water, air and fire), and the imperishable stars of
aether. This separation was held to be part of
Aristotelian physics for many centuries after.
[97] Aristarchus went a step further and
computed the distance from Earth, together with its size, obtaining a value of 20 times the
Earth radius for the distance (the real value is 60; the Earth radius was roughly known since
Eratosthenes).
During the
Warring States of
China, astronomer
Shi Shen (fl. 4th century BC) gave instructions for predicting solar and lunar eclipses based on the relative positions of the Moon and Sun.
[98] Although the Chinese of the
Han Dynasty (202 BC–202 AD) believed the Moon to be energy equated to
qi, their 'radiating influence' theory recognized that the light of the Moon was merely a reflection of the Sun (mentioned by Anaxagoras above).
[99] This was supported by mainstream thinkers such as
Jing Fang (78–37 BC) and
Zhang Heng (78–139 AD), but it was also opposed by the influential philosopher
Wang Chong (27–97 AD).
[99] Jing Fang noted the sphericity of the Moon, while Zhang Heng accurately described a lunar eclipse and solar eclipse.
[99][100] These assertions were supported by
Shen Kuo (1031–1095) of the
Song Dynasty (960–1279) who created an allegory equating the waxing and waning of the Moon to a round ball of reflective silver that, when doused with white powder and viewed from the side, would appear to be a crescent.
[101] He also noted that the reason for the Sun and Moon not eclipsing every time their paths met was because of a small obliquity in their orbital paths.

Wilhelm Beer and

Notes
- ^ The maximum value is given based on scaling of the brightness from the value of −12.74 given for an equator to Moon-centre distance of 378 000 km in the NASA factsheet reference to the minimum Earth-Moon distance given there, after the latter is corrected for the Earth's equatorial radius of 6 378 km, giving 350 600 km. The minimum value (for a distant new Moon) is based on a similar scaling using the maximum Earth-Moon distance of 407 000 km (given in the factsheet) and by calculating the brightness of the earthshine onto such a new Moon. The brightness of the earthshine is [ Earth albedo × (Earth radius / Radius of Moon's orbit)² ] relative to the direct solar illumination that occurs for a full Moon. (Earth albedo = 0.367; Earth radius = (polar radius × equatorial radius)½ = 6 367 km).
- ^ The range of angular size values given are based on simple scaling of the following values given in the fact sheet reference: at an Earth-equator to Moon-centre distance of 378 000 km, the angular size is 1896 arcseconds. The same fact sheet gives extreme Earth-Moon distances of 407 000 km and 357 000 km. For the maximum angular size, the minimum distance has to be corrected for the Earth's equatorial radius of 6 378 km, giving 350 600 km.
- ^ Lucey et al. (2006) give 107 particles cm−3 by day and 105 particles cm−3 by night. Along with equatorial surface temperatures of 390 K by day and 100 K by night, the ideal gas law yields the pressures given in the infobox (rounded to the nearest order of magnitude; 10−7 Pa by day and 10−10 Pa by night.
