TRIVIAS

The Sea of Tranquility is on the Moon. It’s not a real sea, but a “maria,” one of the regions on the Moon that appear dark when

looking at it. The surface speed record on the Moon is 10.56 miles per hour. It

was set in an Apollo lunar rover. The size of the first footprint on the Moon was 13 by 6 inches,

the dimensions of Neil Armstrong's boot when he took his historic walk on July 20, 1969.

The dark spots on the moon that create the benevolent "man in

the moon" image are actually basins filled 3 to 8 kilometers deep with basalt, a dense mineral, which causes immense gravitation

variations.

The Moon Effect

Well I came to know certain thing about moon and its effect over mind.

Most of the people would have heard word of mouth info’s something like "During full moon and new moon days the lunatics behave weird and they will be

uncontrollable" I was thinking that may be something mystic to do with ghost and spirit stuff, but few months before i came across some facts and found that the Moon has certain effect on human body. How?.

We all know that moon has a gravitational pull and compared earth it is less, that is why during full moon days and new moon days the tides are violent in the sea shores. Why water? its because of its liquid property the gravitational force is

visible but actually it has effect on all the matter. why only on full moon and new moon days?. The Moon revolves around the earth in an elliptical orbit so the moon

comes closer to the earth in orbit every 15 days approximately. When the moon is between the sun and earth is also closer to the earth along the orbit, it is new moon

day. when earth is between sun and moon it is full moon day. Since moon is closer in distance to the earth, the gravitational pull of the moon is high during that time.

What happens because of this? The moon pulls the particles in earth. The easiest on to pull is water/fluid so it pulls it up. That is why the tides are violent! Now imagine our earth water content. The exact percentage of water (on Earth) is

71.11%, and the exact percentage of land (on Earth) is 28.89%. is making water to go violent if this is the case with earth what about our human body, which is made

up of 65% water. so there is an obvious effect of moon's gravitational pull over human body. Actually our whole body has effect but we realize only in our mind, its because our body's effect affects the mind. Our human brain becomes

completely restless and will be hyper active since we are normal being we think that we are excited because of some incidents happened recently but we forget that we

are the one who make the incidents to happen because of the hyper activeness. That is why the word "Lunatic" comes from "Lunar" Since it is restless all the talents and creativity comes out in many forms. But you have to see carefully that it has equally

negative effects also one can get hurt so easily during this time, I even monitored some news channels and found that during these days the crime rate is

comparatively high. The mind becomes so sensitive to both good and bad , so its better to always stay in good things so our full moon day goes productive and positive.

The enlightened masters say that when you meditate without any food during theses days as in + or - 2 days continuously then the peace and the glimpse is guaranteed. Also in Indian culture, 3 days before new moons day is observed for

fasting and meditation. Not only that, Moon plays a vital role in Womens life. a Woman's Menstrual cycle is linked with Moon, it regulates the menstrual cycle, can

trigger ovulation and fertile times, as the moon changes its phases Women cycle also changes its phase, Most of the modern menstrual problem or mental problem occurs because they are not in sync with the moon phase due to usage medical

drugs to postpone or make it early.

Moon not only controls our mind but it controls the whole earth to run stable, Science says that life in earth is because of the moon. We have always seen

that in the medieval age or earlier people were honest, kind, without jealous , without corruption, all these effects are because of the moon.

The Moon was earlier closer to earth and gravity of the moon was strong, and was controlling the mind of people to be calm and peaceful. That is why in the ancient culture such are Egyptian, Greek, Indian we see significant respect for the moon.

Every time as the time moves the Moon is moving away from the earth, and also the rotation time changes causing a drastic change in climate, mind, and the entire

environment.

In the Yoga there is a worship of Moon called "Chandra Namskar" means Moon worship.
