Moon is the only body of the solar system, where a person has visited.This satellite is under the scrutiny of scientists all over the world, he studied not only from Earth but from outer space.However, our knowledge of the past decade in this area is not very enriched.In addition, they identified the deeper mysteries of the moon.
At a time when the American program "Apollo" was completed, began to explore other areas of our Solar System, the Earth and the satellite has been given less attention.However, the moon never ceases to amaze and to this day.For example, in 1994, it was launched by an automatic probe "Clementine", which became a joint project of NASA and the SDI.The main mission of the probe was a test of advanced technologies, including the new ultra-sensitive measuring devices.The resulting machine snapshots committed at a distance of 400 km from the moon's surface, caused a lot of surprise to scientists: at the bottom of several craters, which are located in the southern part of the moon, is likely to frozen water.
The fact that up to this moment the moon was considered a dead body, the conditions which preclude the existence of ice.These secrets of the moon amazed scientists because day on the satellite is 28 times longer than the earth and moon during the day surface is heated to 122 degrees.It is therefore logical question arises, where the ice came here.This is the second mystery of the moon.Of course, it can be assumed that the water came to the surface of the satellite with a meteorite that over billions of years bombard a celestial body.However, this version to date have not been confirmed, although it has not been disproved.
Some secrets of the Moon are associated with the direct origin of the satellite.The most plausible version is about the collision of our planet with a certain celestial body that is in its size was close to Mars.Countless fragments that remained in Earth orbit, gradually gathered and formed the moon.This theory is confirmed by computer calculations: for there was this result, the impact must have occurred at a certain angle at a speed not exceeding 15 km / s.
Another hypothesis tells us that the celestial body was previously natural satellite of a major planet of the solar system.More than 4 billion years ago, when the Earth was young, in our system ships arrived from another intelligent civilization.They decided that the third planet from the sun is perfect for protein forms of life.However, the origin of life, there are several obstacles: it is rotated too fast, and there were strong tidal processes.After these deductions of action has been taken to correct these problems, namely, the earth was "attached" satellite."Fantastic!" - You might say.However, while all the mysteries of the moon is not disclosed, these versions also have the right to existence.
addition to these mysteries, NASA experts have described the main mysteries of the Moon, who are trying to unravel the great scholars: How did the moon became a satellite of the Earth?What is it history?How and at what time the satellite appeared craters?What story have the lunar atmosphere ... Of course, to answer these and other questions will require more than one manned space flight, and perhaps it will take more than a century before the moon becomes a companion for us without mysteries and secrets.
