Moon Saturday 7th September 2019

My homework was about forces acting upon a satellite so I chose the Moon! Here it is.

Even Pluto has a gravitational pull on the Moon because even though it is insignificant, gravitional pull never reaches zero.

And the American flag left by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin also has a weight force and a gravitational pull on the Moon! Well, in theory, anyway, even if it has probably disintegrated by now. Still not bad to consider a $5.50 flag made by Annin of New Jersey is still affecting a (theoretical) effect on the Moon!

Time 19:05.
Distance 244,648 miles.
Waxing gibbous phase.
165 degrees S compass point (azimuth).
Altitude 12.5 degrees.
