Knowing the Moon and Thunder


"I'm here again to share something that I know you would like to know. Some may knew it already but others will only be. These two things are always be familiar to everyone but knowing them further will likely to be a good one. So let's start now and talk about Moon and Thunder."

Moon is known to be the natural satellite of the Earth. According to the scientists, moon has used to be much closer from the Earth billion years ago. It was estimated that Earth is already been 4.5 billion years old right now. Moon is much closer from Earth before that it took only 20 days to revolve around the Earth to make a month. Yes, it was 20 days a month before and only 18 hours to make a day. But moon had moved away from the Earth and still moving to keep a distant from us. It was said that every year moon is moving away for about 1.6 inches or 4 cm. As it moves away, Earth's rotation would slows down making the day to lenghten. Not far in the future, we will going to have a 960 hours long to make a day.

Thunder is the roaring sound we hear whenever there is a storm or bad weather. But where really thunder coming from. I'll bet you, you will answer "lightning" which is not really is. For a brilliant answer, it's really the air that surrounds the lightning when it strikes. The air around the lightning is being superheated knowing that lightning bolt is 5 times hotter than the temperature of the sun. This sudden heating makes the air to expand faster than the speed of sound and then compressed that forms a shock wave. For that reason, we can hear it as a thunder.

"Now we know already these two things, the moon and the thunder. So until next again, see yah..."

Moon Conspiracy: Hoax or Not


There are lots of speculations that the landing of man on the moon had never happened. For they said that the video from the moon showing Neil Armstrong's landing was a fake. Just like the swaying of the flag on a vacuum space, the footprints left, the walking on the moon with 1/6 of earth's gravity were totally unbelievable they said.

But, we have several people came to prove that man had ever landed to moon. Based on their experiments which proved that the conspiracy about the flag, footprints, and walks were totally wrong. In the conspiracy, flag should not sway in a vacuum space, footprints will not appear because there is no presence of water or vapor on the moon, and controversial movements while walking, hopping, and floating on the moon. All of these were showed in the video from the moon.

The truth is:
1. Swaying of the Flag. Mythbusters conducted experiments in two different settings. Sway the flag in atmospheric pressure level and a vacuum space. The results gave an amazing conclusion. In atmospheric pressure, the flag swayed for about 3 second or so. But under vacuum space, flags swayed in a tremendous amount of time compared on atmospheric pressure. Surprising isn't it? Take note that the swaying is done on the same level of force.

2. Footprints. In the conspiracy, there must be no footprints left on the moon. But in the experiment using the vacuum space in laboratory revealed that footprints will actually be left even in vacuum space. This proves that water vapor or the water is not the main factor for making a footprint.

3. Walking on the moon. In the conspiracy, the walks that Neil Armstrong showed in the video were done using harness and wires. By the experiments conducted by Mythbusters, using of harness and wires are impossible to replicate what Neil Armstrong did in the video and even using special effects. But using simulation of zero gravity, or rather a true replication of moon's gravity, it proves that the walks made by Armstrong were authentic and true. This experiment used the same space suit as what Armstrong worn and only his exact body weight was considered.

So, this conspiracy is actually hoax and busted. The moon had been already visited by a man and that is true...
