The Kordylewski clouds are located near the L 4 and L 5 Lagrange points of the Earth–Moon system. They are about 6 degrees in angular diameter. [7] The clouds can drift up to 6 to 10 degrees from those points. [11] Other observations suggest they move around the Lagrange points in ellipses of about 6 by 2 degrees. [7]
Although not in standard, most DBMS allows using a select clause without a table by pretending that an imaginary table with one row is used. This is mainly used to perform calculations where a table is not needed. The SELECT clause specifies a list of properties (columns) by name, or the wildcard character (“*”) to mean “all properties”.
A derived table is the use of referencing an SQL subquery in a FROM clause. Essentially, the derived table is a subquery that can be selected from or joined to. The derived table functionality allows the user to reference the subquery as a table. The derived table is sometimes referred to as an inline view or a subselect.
Lunar maria (singular mare) are large, dark, regions of the Moon. They do not contain any water, but are believed to have been formed from molten rock from the Moon's mantle coming out onto the surface of the Moon. This list also includes the one oceanus and the features known by the names lacus, palus and sinus.
Astronaut Harrison Schmitt working next to Tracy's Rock in the Taurus–Littrow valley on the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. The South massif is visible to the right. Tracy's Rock, known as Split Rock or the Station 6 Boulder in the scientific literature, is a large boulder on the Moon which was visited by the Apollo 17 crew on December 13, 1972 at their Taurus-Littrow landing site.
The orbiter, its science payload and ground control infrastructure are technology demonstrators. The orbiter will also be tasked with surveying lunar resources such as water ice, uranium, helium-3, silicon, and aluminium, and produce a topographic map to help select future lunar landing sites. 128: Artemis I: Artemis I Orion MPCV CM-002: 16 ...
AJ_Watt/Getty Images. 1. Apollo. Yes, it’s a reference to the handsome son of Zeus, but this masculine name of Greek origin also pays tribute to the NASA space program that landed the first-ever ...
Hematite, a mineral composed of ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3), has been found on the Moon. This mineral is a product of a reaction between iron, oxygen, and liquid water. Oxygen from the Earth's atmosphere may cause this reaction as indicated by there being more hematite on the side of the Moon facing the Earth. [46]
