SYDNEY - Thursday 2nd August 2012 01:27:30 pm (
AUGUST has it all going on, it is a busy month in the calendar. Thank goodness we lived to see August the first 2012 and then on the 31st we see another spectacular full moon. In the middle of this is Mary's Assumption holiday - Assuming
August features not one, but two full moon events this month. The full moon occurs once every 29.5 days, therefore August 2012 - is one of these unique months, which will have two full moons. There will be a full moon on August 2nd, and then another full moon on August 31st.
THE LEGAL STATUS - Buying land on the moon / And If you believe them?
Though several flags of the United States have been symbolically planted on the moon, the U.S. government makes no claim to any part of the Moon's surface. The U.S. is party to the Outer Space Treaty, which places the Moon under the same jurisdiction as international waters. This treaty also restricts use of the Moon to peaceful purposes, explicitly banning weapons of mass destruction (including nuclear weapons) and military installations of any kind. A second treaty, the Moon Treaty, was proposed to restrict the exploitation of the Moon's resources by any single nation, but it has not been signed by any of the space-faring nations.
