The Moon - enigmatic, a satellite or just a moon?

I think it depends on the point of view. But generally we all agree if the moon is earth's satellite. Actually it's not only our earth has its own satellite. Some planets in our milky way also has its own satellite even though some planets has no satellite. Some planet even have more than one satellite. I think that's something we might called with The Creator's secret which we won't know about what is the actual purposes of the satellite. But for our earth, our satellite which is the moon is effecting our seas. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

Hi dear! It is always a wonderful feeling to gaze stars and the moon. When one sees towards moon (specially full moon) with full concentration, we gets lost and feels why cannot s/he be there at moon. Twinkling stars, moon and other celestial bodies always attract us towards them. However, the scenario has changed in Metro cities, with so many neon, sodium and other high powered lights glowing at night, it becomes difficult to get a better view of night sky. If you happen to see the sky from a complete dark place, you enjoy it more than watching in the light. I also love watching moon and I would go to my roof on full moon night to enjoy its charm. I wish that one day I also become a star in the sky.

The moon is something so bright that even in the city where no stars show because of all the people lights, it still can be sensed and seen, but I must go out where the night is still dark and see it the way it is supposed to be seen from time to time, with stars all about and nothing but velvet night as a background. Anyone who has ever worked a night job knows that the phase of the moon is correlated to how people behave, so it is more than just beautiful, it is also cosmic.

This is the reason why I visit this page everyday, to see the sky keep on changing everyday including the moon; http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html Moon is my source of solace, tells how to firmly standalone in the midst of 'crowd'.

Something beautiful, a mystery, maybe some place we could go visit again, maybe even establish a base. I like looking at the sky, trees, lakes, everything nature.

To me, the moon is a mystery. It is something that I don't know very much about and because I will never have the opportunity to experience the moon first hand it is something that will always remain a mystery to me. It is a learning experience because I have to explain to my children countless times what I can about the moon and that is great for both them and for me. It is a source of light and it is one of the things that brought my husband and I together. We both really enjoy looking at the night sky.

It's enigmatic,beautiful and more Mimpi. I've done and still continue to do my share of moon watching.Each phase of the moon brings about different feelings,emotions and thoughts ranging from awe,love,imagination to even a sense of craziness at times. I'm not talking about the effect of the moon like in low tide and high tide, but more what it has invoked in me. The new moon and the full moon in it's extremeties has always brought out the best of it. In my younger days, i'd wonder if we would ever see an aliens on it. The full moon has me gazing and trying to focus my eyes like a telescope and see into the craters.My mind then slowly wonders off imagining myself on the beaches with the sound of the waves and only the moonlight to guide me as i slowly walk the sands, the breeze blowing gently. Then there's the moon playing hide and seek with the clouds and wait for it to reappear for a few seconds before it gets hidden again. Now if i remember my astrology lessons, the significance of the moon....I'd better stop here, before....

whenever i am a bit depressed or disturbed about something,i look fo the moon,it makes me feel more peaceful,it looks so serene and beautiful,it can never become a mee object to me.

Hey mimpi, Moon is one of my favourite uncle :) My dad use to tell us bed time stories of Moon uncle and Sun uncle when we were kids and I still call moon as Moon unce . And not to forget the beautiful stars and they all have differant stories with our childhood as well and indeed are very special . Cheers, Tutul

hi mimpi oh the moon is gorgeous and mysterious and fascinating to gaze at at night. I like to look up and wonder if people could really live on there if the right kind of buildings and air conditioning and all could be made?

I have not looked at the moon for a long time either. She sits up high in the sky like a mysterious lady overlooking all on earth. I make jokes with my daughter about climbing a very long ladder to the moon and stealing a piece of it because we have run out of cheese! Sadly it no longer fascinates her and she sternly tells me that the moon is not made out of cheese but rock! (LOL) I remember lying on the grass at night time when I was a kid and stare at the stars and the moon for such a long time; what happened to our lives that we longer take the time to do that?

I am still an avid "sky watcher," Mim, and to me the moon, like everything else in the sky and in nature, is one more proof that God exists. It all amazes me :) Karen

Hi Mimpi, I just realized it's been a long time since I appreciated the sky at night. Thinking about the moon just now brings back fond childhood memories. I remember back then (when I was a kid and lived in a small town), me and my friends always looked forward to the next bright night to play street games under the moon and stars. I remember scaring ourselves with ghost stories and enjoying them at the same time. Now that I live in the city, I miss the moon when it comes out because it is usually overshadowed by artificial lights. Needless to say, the moon was and will always be a silent witness to different told and untold stories.

The Moon looks really beautiful from the Earth. I love staring at it, and I have loved to do so since I was a kid, but I can't help to remember always that it's just a huge stone flying in the outer space.

Now thta you say this I feel I have not looked at the moon for quite some time.For one, I am in a flat and I don't peep out of the window to see this.It basically sympbolises beauty to me[ especially the one in April on Poornima --we used to call this in TAMIL--THANGA THATTU-MEANING golden plate. THe discussion about the moon brought in this picure before my eyes.
