The Moon Needs Its Own Time Zone, Here's Why

Показать описание

The Moon rotates super slowly, taking about 27 Earth days to complete one spin. This means that in one lunar day, you'd experience scorching hot sun for about two weeks, followed by frigid darkness for the same amount of time. So, without its own time zone, lunar colonists would have to endure these extreme temperature swings, which isn't exactly ideal for, you know, living comfortably. Having a separate moon time zone allows for a more balanced schedule and helps regulate activities during the moon's day and night.

Trivia note: I went to Space Camp when I was a kid & learned that underneath all of the gray dust there is orange soil on The Moon, but because it lacks an atmosphere nothing can grow on it. This was discovered during the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972, which was the last manned mission to The Moon. I also learned that the hardest part about making the moon rover vehicles was assembling the chairs due to their weight. The guys designing the vehicles were on a break sitting in lawn chairs when 1 of them basically said "Let's just slap 2 lawn chairs on the vehicle, " & it worked since that's what they used on the vehicles for the next few Moon missions.
