About

It has a diameter of about one-quarter of Earth's and is believed to have formed approximately 4. 5 billion years ago. The Moon's gravity influences Earth's tides and stabilizes its axial tilt, which helps to create a relatively stable climate. The Moon is also responsible for the phenomenon of eclipses. Humans have been observing and studying the Moon for centuries, and it has played a significant role in various cultures and mythologies. NASA's Apollo missions in the 1960s and 1970s allowed humans to land on the Moon and collect valuable scientific data. Ongoing research and exploration continue to deepen our understanding of the Moon's composition, history, and potential for supporting future manned missions and lunar colonization.
