"And God made two great lights ... the lesser light to rule the night" (Gen. 1:16). The moon is a cold hunk of rock. And yet it appears as a shining jewel in the night sky. For many years man has known that the moon's light is just reflected sunlight. But not until the flights of Apollo 11 and 12 could man fully appreciate just how perfectly God designed the moon for its specific job. The discovery of moon dust - tiny glassy beads (spheres) which cover a large part of the moon's surface - was a primary accomplishment of man's first lunar landings. Also found were glazed, mirror-like glassy surfaces of very recent origin, probably not more than 30,000 years old (Dr, T. Gold, Science, page 1345, Sept. 26, 1969). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
