And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

- Apollo 15 Hammer-Feather Drop (youtube.com)
At the end of the last Apollo 15 moon walk, Commander David Scott (pictured above) performed a live demonstration for the television cameras. He held out a geologic hammer and a feather and dropped them at the same time. Because they were essentially in a vacuum, there was no air resistance and the feather fell at the same rate as the hammer, as Galileo had concluded hundreds of years before - all objects released together fall at the same rate regardless of mass.

God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
Genesis 1:16 NIV
- Moon (Wikipedia)
The Moon is Earth’s only natural satellite. It orbits around Earth at an average distance of 384399 km (238,854 mi; about 30 times Earth’s diameter). The Moon is tidally locked to Earth. This makes the Moon’s near side face Earth always the same way, and synchronizes its rotation period (lunar day) to its orbital period (lunar month) of 29.5 Earth days. Conversley, the Moon’s gravitation causes tidal forces on Earth, which are the main driver of Earth’s tides.
