Since , the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has taken high-resolution maps of the lunar surface. Within the last two decades, lunar exploration has gone truly international—and even commercial. China launched its first lunar spacecraft the same year, and India followed suit in More milestones—both for better and worse—were achieved in In January, another Chinese lander, Yutu-2, made history by becoming the first rover to touch down on the lunar farside. And in April Israel aimed for the moon with the launch of its Beresheet spacecraft. Unfortunately, even though the spacecraft achieved lunar orbit, it crashed during its attempt to land. Unlike other spacecraft that came before it, Beresheet was built largely with private funding , heralding a new era of lunar exploration in which private companies are hoping to take the reins from governments. NASA, for one, is partnering with commercial spaceflight companies to develop both robotic and crewed landers for lunar exploration; among those companies are SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Astrobotic. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin have announced the goal of establishing a lunar base near the south pole where people could work and live. SpaceX is developing a spacecraft capable of ferrying astronauts to the moon and Mars , and is also developing a plan to bring tourists to lunar orbit. The future of spaceflight—from orbital vacations to humans on Mars. And not to be overshadowed by the commercial sector, NASA is planning its own ambitious return to the moon. A brief history of moon exploration In the s, the Cold War sparked a race to visit Earth's moon with flybys, robots, and crewed missions. Here's what we discovered—and what's next. By Nadia Drake and Jenny Howard. Moon What is the moon made of, and how did it form? Learn about the moon's violent origins, how its phases shaped the earliest calendars, and how humans first explored Earth's only natural satellite half a century ago.

B: Earth and the Solar System This model of the solar system can explain eclipses of the sun and the moon. The seasons are a result of that tilt and are caused by the differential intensity of sunlight on different areas of Earth across the year. Develop and use a model to describe phenomena. A: The Universe and Its Stars Patterns of the apparent motion of the sun, the moon, and stars in the sky can be observed, described, predicted, and explained with models. Crosscutting Concepts Patterns Patterns can be used to identify cause- and-effect relationships. B Articulation of DCIs across grade-bands: 3.

See a map of all lunar landings. Kennedy committed the United States to landing a person on the moon before the decade was complete. The Apollo program , by far the most expensive spaceflight endeavor in history , kicked off that year, and by the time it ended in , nine missions and 24 astronauts had orbited or landed on the moon. Perhaps the most famous of those, Apollo 11 , marked the first time humans had stepped on another world. Exploring the legacy of Apollo 11 at the dawn of a new era of space travel. Each mission after Apollo 11 set new milestones in space travel and lunar exploration. Four months after the first humans reached the moon, Apollo 12 touched down, achieving a much more precise landing on the moon. Apollo 13 narrowly avoided a near-disaster when on-board oxygen tanks exploded in April , forcing the crew to abort a planned moon landing. All three survived. During the third lunar landing, in January , Apollo 14 , commander Alan Shepard set a new record for the farthest distance traveled on the moon: 9, feet. He even lobbed a few golf balls into a nearby crater with a makeshift 6-iron. Apollo 15 , launched in July , was the first of three missions capable of a longer stay on the moon. In the course of three days spent on the lunar surface, achievements included collecting hundreds of pounds of lunar samples and traveling more than 17 miles in the first piloted moon buggy.

Rare first edition copy of this prescient Verne Science Fiction Novel. Seller Inventory ABE First Edition. Science fiction becomes science fact. Incredibleas bear witness to the fact that in this novel by a Frenchman, the launch site of this fictional first moon flight was indeed in Florida, just a bit more than miles from Cape Canaveral, the actual site for the real thing. Add this fact to the name of the co-publisher of this book and it becomes downright eerie. First Thus. Very rare early edition of this classic Verne novel, bound in green cloth with decorative black inlay and gilt lettering and tooling on front board and spine. Very good plus with minor professional repair to spine ends and interior hinges, otherwise bright and clean inside and out with slight foxing to plates. After initial publication in France in two volumes, this tale of space travel first appeared in English in October Sampson Low's single- volume London edition "From the Earth to the Moon Direct.
