Phases Of The Moon

I was experimenting with my compact camera to see what kind of photos I could capture of the moon. Here are the best photos taken during autumn.

I even managed to capture Jupiter and its 4 largest moons – Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto!

These photos were all taken from Tasmania, Australia over different nights or early mornings. I’m pretty happy with the results seeing as I only used a compact camera. Have you ever used a similar camera to photograph the moon? For readers in the northern hemisphere, does the moon look upside down to you? 😀

Until next time,

🪨🔥 #Earth’s inner core reaches about 5,500°C, roughly as hot as the surface of the #sun.

Scientists from UC #SantaCruz and Sun Yat-sen University calculated this using diamond anvil cells and shock-wave experiments that simulate the extreme pressures deep underground. The outer core’s liquid #iron also generates #Earth’s magnetic field, which protects all #life from #solar #radiation.

They didn't acquire new empty land. Actually, they killed the natives of the land because the natives have an instinct to take care of the land. Due to human and industrial demand for resources, the natives have been displaced.

🌍☀️ Scientists at #ArizonaState and #Caltech used the #JWST to produce the first weather report for WASP-94A b, a gas giant 700 light-years from #Earth.

The #planet has two different #weather sides: a morning edge with #clouds made of vaporized #rock and an almost cloud-free evening edge, driven by temperature differences and powerful winds.

#KnowledgeByte: Earth's rotation is the #Rotation of #Planet #Earth around its own axis. However, the speed of the Earth's rotation is not constant.

What impacts Earth's rotational speed? Is it slowing down or rotating faster?
