did the moon was seperated to 2 halfs??

I think your asking if the moon has ever been split into two pieces and the answer to that is no.  The most popular theory within the scientific community on the origin of our moon is that it is the leftover material from a collision between our earth and another inner planet billions and billions of years ago.

The question is about the lunar sidereal period.  It is 27.32166 days, as a casual web search reveals.

i have some of the moon

The moon has a side that always faces us! That's not always filled with light though. That's why we have phases of the moon.

a long time ago, when the moon wasnt so big

am curious why you asked. but i hope this can help: it's first quarter on march 31,1974 at 1:43 and full moon on april 6, 1974 at 20:49. therefore, or, maybe it is a gibbous moon on the 3rd of april 1974.\nam a space buff. this is my email add: tongsoy@yahoo.com.

HUH? It was a full moon last night...

It would seem logical to say that at any one time we can see 50% of the Moon's face. If the Moon were flat, that would be correct, however we know the Moon is a sphere. And the spherical shape of the Moon hides the area close to the perimeter and we can, at any one time, see only 41% of the Moon's face.\n\nEven though the same side of the Moon's faces us, we do see a bit more than half of the Moon's face. Over time, because of librations, we can see up to 59% of the Moon's surface

Nope it has to be 2 full moons.  Not 2 new moons.  There's only been one full moon this month.  there will be, however, two new moons.  one was on the 1st and the other will be the 31st....  the full moon happened on December 15th.\n\nA "Blue Moon" is the name given to the second full moon in a calendar month. Because there are roughly 29.5 days between full moons, it is unusual for two full moons to "fit" into a 30 or 31 day month (and impossible to fit into a 28 or 29 day month, so February can never have a Blue Moon). The saying "Once in a Blue Moon" means a rare occurrence, and predates the current astronomical use of the term, which is quite recent. In fact, Blue Moons are not all that rare, on average there will be one Blue Moon every 2.5 years. After 1999, the next Blue Moons will be in November 2001; July 2004; and June 2007. The last one before 1999 was in July 1996. \nThe term Blue Moon is believed to have originated in 1883 after the eruption of Krakatoa. The volcano put so much dust in the atmosphere that the Moon actually looked blue in color. This was so unusual that the term "once in a Blue Moon" was coined. However, Blue Moon was also used in much the same way we use the term "Harvest Moon". There were twelve names for full moons, one for each month, and the name Blue Moon was used in years which had 13 full moons. It referred to the third full moon of the four occuring between an equinox and solstice in that year. A misinterpretation of this led to a Sky and Telescope Magazine "Star Quiz" in July 1943 followed by an article in March 1946 which stated that the second full moon in any calendar month was called a Blue Moon (attributed to the 1937 Maine Farmers' Almanac), and this definition has now become part of the language. \n\nIn January and March of 1999, we had a situation which only takes place about four times a century: two Blue Moons occurring in the same year. The last time this happened was in January and April of 1961 and it will not happen again until January and March of 2018. A double Blue Moon most commonly occurs in January/March but is also possible in January/April or January/May and only when there is no full moon at all in February. It is also possible to have a Blue Moon in December of one year and March of the next year, again, there is no full moon in the intervening February. \n\nThat might have been way more info than you wanted, but now you know... and knowing is half the battle.

No.  The angle between the sun and the moon as viewed from the earth is 180 degrees for the full moon pahse.  This means that the full moon and the sun are always on opposite sides of the earth.\n\nSince the moon is not always "in plane" with the sun, and your horizon is not perfect, it may be possible on occasion, depending on the geography of the horizon, and one's latitute to see the full moon rising as the sun is setting, or to see the full moon setting as the sun is rising.

Nice idea.... but there is a BIG hole in your theory:\n\nThe moon broke off from the earth somewhere between 3.5 and 4.5 billion years ago.... i.e. the Hadean... the more specific name for the earlier Precambrian.\n\nPangaea didn't even begin moving together until 1.1 billion years ago, and wasn't together as one continent until about 500 million years ago.... during the Permian.\n\nOh... and tectonic plate movement is a result of thermal flows in the mantle.\n\nPangaea has nothing to do with the moon, sorry to say.

No.  But we see only the side that faces earth.\n\nHere's a good diagram that explains it better than I can...\n\n\nhttp://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/the_universe/uts/moon2.html

what? I don't think the moon appears stationary since it travels across the sky and goes through phases.\nWhat?

There was a full moon out June ll.. what you saw was a reflection (either in water, or a mirror image) of the full moon. Are you into astrology? The war in the sky sounds like a zodiac of sorts. What was involved in the war? (What is going on around you? any turbulence? it's merely a reflection of this..) the reflection thing.. get it? mirror/water.. lol. it's easy! lol

If you can see the moon from both points at the same time then the phase of the moon will be the same.\n\nIf however the moon is visible in Britain, but still below the horizon in Australia, then the phase will have very slightly changed by the time the moon rises in Australia.

This is a good question that made me think for a while.  First of all, you need to know how big Earth is.  Eratosthenes did that in ancient times by measuring the altitude of the sun at two different places on the Earth at the same time on the same day (presumably he had a friend helping him).  I've linked to a site detailing this measurement.\n\nOnce you know that, just wait for a lunar eclipse.  When the Earth is partially obstructing the moon, you will be able to see an arc of the Earth at the same time as an arc of the moon.  Then you can get a relative difference in curvatures between the Earth and the Moon (maybe by using coins of different sizes, for instance).  So once you know the ratio of the Moon's circumference to the Earth's circumference, just multiply by the Earth's cirumference to get the answer.

That has happened for the past week, right? Well, when the moon is behind the earth relatively to the sun, it's seen as full; but along the next 2 weeks the moon is going to make her way in the direction of the sun, so when it's halfway it's seen half-illuminated (in the half looking to the sun), in broad daylight... that's the phase "last quarter moon". Slowly day by day you'll notice the moon gets thinners and thinner, and closer to the sun... until one day you don't see it - that's because she's very near the sun from where we stand - and we see her "behind" which is not illuminated.
