the moon. the moon gets two bulges too, okay? but the moon, of course, as--the bulges stay fixed because it rotates just as often as it revolves. we talked about that last time. so on the moon, you don't see it going up and down, up and down every six hours. it just stays up. it's like a football shape, okay? you know what happens when the moon gets closer and closer? the tidal forces get bigger, smaller or stay the same? bigger. and, you know, what happens when the moon gets too close? they get ripped apart, ripped to shreds and all those shreds will just orbit around and spread out like a great big ring. do you know there are planets where that's already happened? one begins with s, ends with turn. do you know what it is gang? saturn, that's right and the other one is uranus, neptune, okay. rings, moons that have gotten too close and just simply got ripped apart, they are whole lot of boulders and they're just all spinning around. that's what they are. tidal forces can be enormous when you are very, very close to something beca

the full moon closest to the start of fall is called the harvest moon. this year's harvest moon rises just before sunset on wednesday and sets just after sunrise on thursday. traditionally, farmers worked late into the night harvesting their crops by the light of the harvest moon. these days, most farmers use artificial lights at night. but the full moon is still wonderful to look at with binoculars or your unaided eyes. this is when the huge dark circles that make up the familiar rabbit, or man-in-moon ttern, show up best. 17th century astronomers called them "maria," latin for "seas." in fact, they were seas once, but seas of lava, not water. the maria started out as huge impact craters that formed 4.1 to 3.8 billion years ago. apparently, something disrupted the normally well-behaved asteroid belt, scattering asteroids into the paths of the moon and planets. the impacts also fractured the moon's crust, allowing lava to ooze out and fill the craters long after they first formed. the lava soon cooled to form the smooth, dark surfaces that we see today.

here's an eraser and we are on the moon and let the eraser be the moon and we can read the side, can't we? this is the side that faces the earth, okay? this side faces the earth and doesn't the moon go around the earth? well, watch how the moon goes around the earth. what am i doing to the eraser, gang, as it goes around the earth? i'm twisting it because it turns out the eraser's going like this as it turns. and when it makes one turn like this, it'll also make one rotation. so it'll go... and--stopped it, it would just keep... stop it for a minute... ain't that neat? so the moon is turning around and around and around. and you know what? there's a reason why one side always faces us and it has to do with center of gravity and torque. did you pick that up on the chapter on rotational motion? did you pick that up? and when you picked that up, did you say to your mother and father, hey, you know what i just i found out? there's a reason why one side of the moon faces us all the time. how many people did share that with their parents? how many say, well, my parents don't give me anything

there you are, and you can go all to the moon if-- all the way to the moon if you keep pushing. a little story goes with that. you know, human beings went to the moon, 1969. before 1969, they were talking about going to the moon. my brother had a dear friend, perry hunter, sort of like a scientific-type guy. and perry hunter and my brother used to get in arguments about this whole apollo mission, as to whether or not humans could get to the moon. and i remember, one time, overhearing an argument between my brother dave and perry hunter. and perry hunter was claiming, "no way, no way a human being is gonna get in a rocket "and get to the moon and come back. "no way. it's all press. it's all a farce. it's all hollywood. they can't do that." and my brother says, "perry, how do you know they can't do that?" and perry said, "because i'm a marksman. "and i know what it is to take a riffle "and get 200 yards away from a target, and boom, "hit that target dead on. i know what that is. "and when you talk about going 240,000 miles away, "i don't care what kind of high tech they got, "they

the moon. the moon is still in libra on tuesday, and it passes above scorpius on wednesday and thursday. the waxing gibbous moon is in sagittarius on friday and saturday, and it ends the week in capricornus. if you want a great project, track the moon's appearance each night as it changes from 20% lit on monday to 85% lit on sunday. you can do this with your unaided eyes, and binoculars will make it even more rewarding. on monday, the most prominent feature is mare crisium, the dark spot near the top of the crescent. it remains near the right-hand edge as the phase changes, proving that we always see the same side of the moon. as the sunshine sweeps left across the moon, more and more of these dark circles are revealed. we'll talk more about the "maria," as they're called, next week. but now, let's see why we only see one side of the moon. that's more remarkable than it might appear at first. the moon circles around earth once every 27 days, and if it didn't rotate at all, we would see every si
