For example, the crescent moon is 'banana' shaped, and the half-moon is D-shaped. When the moon is nearly full, it is called a gibbous moon. The crescent and gibbous moons each last approximately a week. [5] Each phase is also described in accordance to its position on the full 29.5 day cycle. The eight phases of the moon in order: [5] new moon
The usual English proper name for Earth's natural satellite is simply Moon, with a capital M. [19] [20] The noun moon is derived from Old English mōna, which (like all its Germanic cognates) stems from Proto-Germanic *mēnōn, [21] which in turn comes from Proto-Indo-European *mēnsis 'month' [22] (from earlier *mēnōt, genitive *mēneses) which may be related to the verb 'measure' (of time).
The Moon looks larger near distant buildings than nearby ones in this simulated skyline. The size of a viewed object can be measured objectively either as an angular size (the visual angle that it subtends at the eye, corresponding to the proportion of the visual field that it occupies), or as physical size (its real size measured in, say, meters).
A press release on February 3, 2009, showed a sixth new moon found by Cassini. The moon is approximately 500 m (0.3 mi) in diameter within the G-ring of the ring system of Saturn, and is now named Aegaeon (formerly S/2008 S 1). [76] A press release on November 2, 2009, mentions the seventh new moon found by Cassini on July 26, 2009.
Most lunar meteorites are launched from the Moon by impacts making lunar craters of a few kilometers in diameter or less. [6] No source crater of lunar meteorites has been positively identified, although there is speculation that the highly anomalous lunar meteorite Sayh al Uhaymir 169 derives from the Lalande impact crater on the lunar nearside.
