Can anybody imagine the sky deviod of moon forever.....? Never as it is the element of attraction of a child in his childhood days, adds romanticism in one's life walking in the moon light and much more for the married woman in India but this is a crude fact that moon is shrinking and contracting gradually. This information is obtained by the images sent by space craft named  Lunar Reconisis Orbitor. This space craft was send by NASA on 18 th of june 2009 which gave thousnads of images of moon surface. The scientists after observing these images and snaps concluded that moon is gradually getting wrinkles  and is shrinking.

"Our moon is 3,84,000 km away from earth on an average. the time it takes to rotate on its own axis is approximately equal to the time it takes to revolve around the earth and it is abvious that when it revolves around the earth, it also simultaneously revolves around the Sun.One day on moon is equivalent to fourteen days on earth. In daytime its temprature is around more than  121 degree celsius and in night its temprature falls down approximately to minus 151 degree celsius.Neil armstrong was the first man to step on moon and in 2008-09, Indian spacecraft - Chandrayaan - I took the revolution of moon and revealed many mysteries. 

The space scientists of the Smithsonian Institute of America have observed fourteen new wrinkles in the face of the moon. 'This means that earlier also the wrinkles were present but new wrinkles have been observed recently. the scientist accept that nearly 4 million years ago, a planet equivalent in size of Mars planet coincided with the soft earth and the pieces came out of earth were turned in to Moon. When earth originated, it took many years for it to cool down, moon also started cooling  simultaneously and as it gradually cooled, it started shrinking. It has been declared by the scientists that some wrinkles present on the moon are as old as a million  year. The new wrinkles which are found are small and big in sizes and the biggest wrinkle is about a hundred meter in height and good amount of kilometers in length.The scietific name of these wrinkles are  LOBET SCORP. These wrinkles were first observed  by the images taken by the spacecraft APOLLO 15, 16  and 17. Moreover the craters on the moon are made by the bombardment of meteors on the surface of the moon.The small craters are made because of this  reason and they vanish when again the meteors strike at the same area of the moon surface. The NASA spacecraft named Lunar Reconisis Orbitor will continue to tkae the images of moon for further three to four years and then mystery will be properly solved as to why the moon is contracting  and much more will be revealed about moon in the coming years.
