The Moon moves around the Earth in an ellipse with an eccentricity of 0.0554, therefore its distance from the Earth varies from 363.104 km to 405.696 km.

The Solar System is located at a distance of 28.000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.

It was discovered on March 25th, 1655 by Danish astronomer Christiaan Huygens.

In 1973 NASA launched the Skylab mission.

The diameter of the Moon is 3474 km, which means it is approximately 1/4 of the diameter of the Earth.

It carries out over 500 vital functions, of which approximately 200 are performed simultaneously.
