Earth and Moon Viewer
Welcome to Earth and Moon Viewer. Viewing the Earth You can view either a map of the Earth showing the day and night regions at this moment, or view the Earth from the Sun, the Moon, the night side of the Earth, above any location on the planet specified by latitude, longitude and altitude, from a satellite in Earth orbit, or above various cities around the globe. Images can be generated based on a full-colour image of the Earth by day and night, a topographical map of the Earth, up-to-date weather satellite imagery, or a composite image of cloud cover superimposed on a map of the Earth, a colour composite which shows clouds, land and sea temperatures, and ice, or the global distribution of water vapour. Expert mode allows you additional control over the generation of the image. Viewing the Moon In addition to the Earth, you can also view the Moon from the Earth, Sun, night side, above named formations on the lunar surface. or as a map showing day and night.

Lunar Calendar
A lunar calendar is a calendar that is based on cycles of the lunar phases. Because there are slightly more than twelve lunations (synodic months) in a solar year, the period of 12 lunar months (354.37 days) is sometimes referred to as a lunar year. A common purely lunar calendar is the Islamic calendar or Hijri Qamari calendar. A feature of the Islamic calendar is that a year is always 12 months, so the months are not linked with the seasons and drift each solar year by 11 to 12 days. The oldest known lunar calendar was found in Scotland; it dates back to around 10000 BP.[1] Lunisolar calendars[edit] All these calendars have a variable number of months in a year. Some lunar calendars are calibrated by annual natural events which are affected by lunar cycles as well as the solar cycle. Start of the lunar month[edit] Lunar and lunisolar calendars differ as to which day is the first day of the month. Length of the lunar month[edit] The average length of the synodic month is 29.530589 days.

Lunar Phase
The phase and libration of the Moon for 2013 at hourly intervals, with music, titles and supplemental graphics. Animation of the Moon as it cycles through its phases, as seen from the Northern Hemisphere. The apparent wobbling of the Moon is known as libration. The principal lunar phases are new moon, first quarter moon, full moon and last quarter moon. Names of lunar phases[edit] Phases of the Moon, as seen looking southward from the Northern Hemisphere. In Western culture, the phases of the Moon have been given the following names, in sequential order: A crescent moon above Earth's horizon is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 24 crew member. When the Sun and Moon are aligned on the same side of the Earth the Moon is "new", and the side of the Moon visible from Earth is not illuminated by the Sun.

Project Beak: Adaptations
Take a look at all the birds in your backyard sometime. Chances are you'll see several different types of birds, each with different beaks, coloration, body shapes and bills. These birds live in the same basic habitat – the city. So why are they so different? If all birds ate exactly the same food, lived in exactly the same place, and tried to raise their young in exactly the same habitat, they would all be competing for the same types of food, water, shelter, and space. Fortunately, different birds fill different niches (areas within the habitat). Some of these adaptations or changes are physical, like the shape of the bill. Usually, the physical and behavioral characteristics that get passed along through the generations are the traits that help the bird survive the best. One of the cool ways to see how a bird has adapted to its environment is to take a close look at its bill and feet. Birds have also developed special wings and body coloration to help them survive.
