NASA Image of the Day

: Perfectly circular, powerful Hurricane Celia spaned hundreds of miles over the Pacific Ocean in this image from June 24, 2010. Rough-textured clouds surround the storm’s distinct eye. Farther from the center of the storm, spiral arms appear thinner and smoother. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of Hurricane Celia at 1:55 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on June 24, 2010. Just five minutes later, the U.S. National Hurricane Center classified Celia as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 135 miles per hour. Image Credit: NASA

Lunar Science Cards & Lunar Map

Why did Buzz Aldrin's flag wave if there's not an atmosphere? How was the Moon formed and what is it REALLY made of? These questions and many more are answered in our Lunar Science Cards & Lunar Map.

Phlare's Lunar Science Cards & Lunar Map cover the origin, geology, rotation, phases, eclipses and craters of the Moon, with a special emphasis on manned exploration of our satellite. There are 25 question-and-answer cards which cover the origin, atmosphere and composition of the moon, the maria, rotation and farside of our satellite, lunar eclipses, the tides, phases of the moon, craters, mountains, the south pole, moon dust, moon landing and other cards on the Apollo missions.

The Lunar Map is 18" x 24" with a 13" x 24" map, lunar statistics, places to see and their coordinates, and the benefits of the moon on the front. (Did you know the moon stabilizes the axial tilt of the earth?) The back lists every mission to the moon, from Ranger through Surveyor, Lunar Orbiter, Apollo, and the Luna & Zond series', and includes a sizable section on returning to the moon and remaining.
