Information about the moon
19, 16 In May, the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced that the research team led by Li Chunlai, a researcher of the Observatory, used Chang 'e-4 data to prove that there were deep substances mainly composed of olivine and low-calcium pyroxene in the Antarctic-aitken basin on the back of the moon. The international academic journal Nature published this important discovery online.
Extended data
The moon revolves around the earth and rotates at the same time, with a period of 27.438+066 days, which happens to be a sidereal moon, so we can't see the back of the moon. This phenomenon, which we call "synchronous rotation" or "tidal locking", is almost a universal law in the satellite world of the solar system. It is generally believed that it is the result of long-term tidal action of satellites on the planet. The libration is a wonderful phenomenon, which enables us to see 59% of the moon. There are mainly the following reasons:
1. In different parts of the elliptical orbit, the rotation speed does not match the revolution angular speed.
2, the intersection of the white road and the equator.
The appearance of the moon moves half a degree per hour for the background starry sky, which is similar to the apparent diameter of the moon. Unlike other satellites, the orbital plane of the moon is closer to the ecliptic plane than the equatorial plane of the earth.
Relative to the background starry sky, the time required for the moon to go around the earth (the moon makes one revolution) is called sidereal month; The time between the new moon and the next one (or the time between two identical moon phases) is called the new moon. The reason why Wang Shuo's moon is longer than that of the star moon is that during the earth's operation on the moon, it moved forward a certain distance in its orbit around the sun.
