The relationship of the states of the moon and the cultivation of crops will be effective if you follow clear rules. In this review we will discuss the lunar calendar of landing works for May 2018.

How do moon phases affect planting?

The greatest success in the horticultural and gardening activities awaits those who can get into the so-called "biotact" that exists in nature. Simply put, if you determine favorable days for the growth of crops, the seeds sown at this time will germinate very quickly. This can be done by focusing on the phases of the moon, of which there are only four: growing, decreasing, full moon and new moon. Phases of the Moon So, along with its growth, the above-ground part of the planted crops also grows, while the moon that is declining leads to an active growth of the root system. Perennial shrubs and trees should be planted solely on the growing moon, and even better - before the full moon. At the time of the new moon this is undesirable.

However, health problems did not allow the scientist to realize his dream. Eugene left a will, where he asked to deliver his ashes to the moon. The last will of the scientist was executed - his remains were transported to a natural Earth satellite aboard the Lunar Prospector. Thus, Shoemaker became the first person buried on the moon.

November 20, 1969, when the spacecraft crew "Apollo 12" threw the lunar compartment on the surface of the moon, as a result of the impact vibration occurred, comparable to an earthquake. The heavenly body rang like a bell for another hour. The crew did the same manipulation. "Apollo 13", deliberately increasing the force of impact. The consequences were simply amazing: seismic instruments recorded a prolonged shaking of a celestial body - it lasted more than three hours. Distribution radius vibration made 40 kilometers away.
