Hello Steemit family, today I bring you some curious facts about the moon, one of the details of the nature that I love the most taking photos for its different changes that it constantly makes and also that it looks beautiful in every way.
The name as such comes from the Greek "Leukos" which is understood as "Brilliant White", and its meaning is "The Luminous, the one that illuminates in white".
Then God said: there are lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night; and let them be signs for the seasons, for days and years, and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth. And it was like that. And God made the two great lights; the greater luminary to rule the day, and the lesser luminary to rule the night; He also made the stars. And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule in the day and in the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. (Genesis 1: 14-19)
Wooow incredible that God has dedicated a whole day to make all those beautiful details that now our eyes see every day and I enjoy them at all times.
I tell you and those who know that the moon revolves around itself and also around the earth, that takes an approximate time of 27.3 days.
The moon is 400 times as small as the sun and is 400 times closer to the earth and that in view of us apparently makes them both look the same size.
The phases of the moon, as some already know and perhaps others are unknown, are a new moon, a crescent moon, a crescent moon, a gibbous crescent, a full moon, a waning gibbous, a waning quarter and a waning moon.
Each of the photos I see I took with my semi-professional Nikon camera, most of them I took from my house, I just placed some of the tangos.
I hope you like it and enjoy it just like me.
Greetings, we are reading.
