Moon Records served as an outlet for the band's first single, "Not Fade Away", and self-entitled debut album "Rush". Moon was distributed by London Records of Canada. After the success of "Rush", the band was offered a two record deal with the Polygram Group and signed with Polygram's Mercury Records in 1974. Moon Records folded as a label and ...
Into Temptation is an independent drama film written and directed by Patrick Coyle. It tells the story of a prostitute—played by Kristin Chenoweth (pictured) —who confesses to a Catholic priest ( Jeremy Sisto) that she plans to kill herself. The priest attempts to find her, and in doing so involves himself in the darker side of society.

During the brightest full moons, the Moon can have an apparent magnitude of about −12.6. By comparison, the Sun has an apparent magnitude of −26.8. When the Moon is in its quarter phase, its brightness is only about one-tenth of that of the full Moon because the amount of solar radiation reflected toward the Earth is highly reduced due to the shado...
Recently, the Giant Impact hypothesis has been considered the most plausible scientific hypothesis for the Moon's origin, when compared with other hypotheses such as coformation and condensation. The Giant Impact hypothesis holds that the Moon was formed from the ejecta of a collision between a very early, semi-molten Earth and a planet-like object...
Composition
The Moon's overall composition is believed to be similar to that of the upper parts of the Earth, other than depletion of volatile elements and iron. Observations by the technique of spectroscopy indicate that the current lunar crust is composed of various primary elements, including uranium, thorium, potassium, oxygen, silicon, magnesium, iron, titanium, calcium, aluminum, and hydrogen. Some spacecraft—such as the Galileo probe, Clementine, and Lunar Prospector—have mapped the abundance of t...
Lunar topography
When observed with Earth-based telescopes, the Moon can be seen to have some 30,000 craters, with a diameter of at least 1 km, but close-up observations from lunar orbit reveal a multitude of smaller craters. Most are hundreds of millions or billions of years old. The weather, lack of atmosphere, and recent geological processes ensure that most of them remain permanently preserved. There are places on the Moon where it is impossible to add a crater of any size without obliterating another—a c...
Presence of water
Comets and meteoroids regularly bombard the Moon. Many of these objects are water-rich. Energy from sunlight splits much of this water into its constituent elements, hydrogen and oxygen, both of which usually fly off into space immediately. Some scientists, however, have hypothesized that significant traces of water remain on the Moon, either on the surface or embedded within the crust. The results of the Clementine mission suggested that small, frozen pockets of water ice (remnants of water-...
Orbits of the Moon and the Earth
There are several ways to consider a complete orbit of the Moon around the Earth. The two most familiar ways are: 1. The sidereal month: The time it takes to make a complete orbit with respect to the stars, about 27.3 days. 2. The synodic month: The time it takes to reach the same phase, about 29.5 days. These values differ because in the meantime the Earth and Moon have both orbited some distance around the Sun. Scientists use the Moon to visualize Earth's trajectory. When in its last quarte...
Some remarkable coincidences
The sidereal month of 27.32 days coincides with the freezing point of water at 273.2° K (273.2° above absolute zero). The relationship between the Moon and water is manifest in the Moon's control over the tides and month's correlation with the feminine cycle of ovulation and menstruation. The diameter of the Moon measures 0.273 Earth diameters. The acceleration of the Moon in its path around the Earth is 0.273 cm/s². The number 27.32 is directly related to the value of π. When a circle of rad...
Eclipses
Eclipses have throughout the ages filled people with wonder. They happen only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are lined up. Solar eclipses can occur only around the time of a new moon; lunar eclipsescan occur only near a full moon. The distance, size and path of the three heavenly bodies are arranged ingeniously from an astronomical point of view such that the Sun, which is much larger, takes up the same space when viewed from earth as the Moon. That is why during a total eclipse of the Sun the...
The space race between the United States and the former Soviet Union, during the Cold War, accelerated exploration of the Moon. In the United States (and the West in general), the landing of the first humans on the Moon in 1969 is seen as the culmination of the space race. The first man to walk on the lunar surface was Neil Armstrong, commander of ...
Although several flags of the United States and the former Soviet Union have been symbolically planted on the moon, the Russian and U.S. governments make no claims to any part of the Moon's surface. Russia and the United States are party to the Outer Space Treaty, which places the Moon under the same jurisdiction as international waters. This treat...

The Moon is Earth 's only natural satellite. It orbits at an average distance of 384,400 km (238,900 mi), about 30 times the diameter of Earth. Over time Earth's gravity has caused tidal locking, causing the same side of the Moon to always face Earth.
