The Sun is the center around which the Earth and the other planets of our solar system revolve. It’s a rather ordinary star of average size. Even so‚ it is more than 1‚392‚000 km (865‚000 mi) across — more than 100 times the diameter of Earth. Its mass equals that of 333‚420 Earths! It resembles a huge furnace‚ fired by nuclear energy at its core. The tremendous energy produced is transferred outward‚ away from the core‚ in a process known as convection. Patches of gas heat and rise toward the surface

On July 20‚ 1969‚ Astronauts Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and Neil Armstrong of Apollo 11 landed on the moon. A few years later on December 14‚ 1972‚ the astronauts of Apollo 17 became the last manned mission to the moon. It seems inconceivable that 43 years later‚ these footprints left by Apollo 17 astronauts were the last of any man. Even more disturbing is the lack of a permanent commemoration or memorial to the accomplishment of those 12 astronauts that made the perilous journey. With all of the

“That’s one small step for a man‚ one giant leap for mankind”. So said Neil Armstrong on that moment when he stepped onto the surface of the moon for the very first time … supposedly. Many people question the authenticity of the moon landing since July 21‚ 1969. After reading and watching lot of programs talking about it. I believe moon landing is fake.

MOON LANDING There has been a big dilemma on if the 1969 moon landing was faked by the U.S or if we actually landed on the moon and made if before the soviet union. We were in a space race with the soviet union. Now it is up to you to decide if you think it is true or not. For me‚ after a long time researching and testing to fake evidences were photo shopped‚ green screened‚ or just set up a fake setting‚ terrain and gray sand outside a building.
