Scientists discovered water and volatile elements trapped in crystals inside volcanic glass beads returned from the moon by Apollo 17. This challenges assumptions about how the moon formed and the origin of its water. Samples indicate the moon's interior is similar to Earth's in water abundance. Researchers found concentrations of water and elements in lunar magma are nearly identical to concentrations in solidified magma from Earth's mid-ocean ridges. This discovery strengthens the theory that the moon and Earth have a common origin but forces reconsideration of the current theory of lunar formation from a huge impact on early Earth.

Gave a talk at StartCon about the future of Growth. I touch on viral marketing / referral marketing, fake news and social media, and marketplaces. Finally, the slides go through future technology platforms and how things might evolve there.
Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…

Moon Phases:
The moon's phases refer to the different appearances of the moon as observed from Earth during its orbit around our planet. These phases are primarily determined by the relative positions of the Earth, the moon, and the sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, different portions of its surface are illuminated by sunlight, resulting in the various phases we observe.
1. New Moon:
The new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, with its illuminated side facing away from Earth. From our perspective, the moon appears dark and invisible in the night sky. This marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle.
2. Waxing Crescent:
Following the new moon, a small sliver of the moon becomes visible as sunlight gradually illuminates its surface. This phase is known as the waxing crescent. It appears as a thin crescent shape in the western sky after sunset.
3. First Quarter:
During the first quarter phase, the moon has completed approximately one-quarter of its orbit around the Earth. Half of the moon's surface is illuminated by sunlight, creating a half-moon shape. This phase is often referred to as the waxing half or the half moon.
4. Waxing Gibbous:
As the moon continues to orbit, more of its surface becomes illuminated by sunlight. The waxing gibbous phase occurs when the illuminated portion of the moon is greater than half but not yet full. It appears as a bulging, almost full moon in the night sky.
5. Full Moon:
The full moon occurs when the Earth is positioned directly between the sun and the moon, with the moon's entire illuminated side facing Earth. This phase marks the midpoint of the lunar cycle and is characterized by a fully illuminated, round shape. The full moon is often associated with cultural and religious significance and is the brightest phase of the lunar cycle.
6. Waning Gibbous:
Following the full moon, the moon begins to wane or decrease in illumination. The waning gibbous phase occurs when the illuminated portion of the moon is greater than half but gradually diminishing. It appears as a shrinking, nearly full moon in the night sky.
7. Third Quarter:
During the third quarter phase, the moon has completed approximately three-quarters of its orbit around the Earth. Half of the moon's surface is illuminated, but this time, the opposite half compared to the first quarter phase. It is often referred to as the waning half or the half moon.
8. Waning Crescent:
The waning crescent phase marks the final stage of the lunar cycle before the new moon. Only a small portion of the moon's surface is illuminated by sunlight, appearing as a thin crescent shape in the eastern sky before sunrise. This phase gradually transitions into the new moon, completing the lunar cycle.
These phases repeat in a continuous cycle, with each complete cycle lasting approximately 29.5 days, known as a synodic month. The moon's phases have significant cultural, religious, and scientific importance,
4. The scientists discovered water along with volatile elements in lunar magma trapped inside of crystals that are
trapped inside of tiny volcanic glass beads returned to Earth by Apollo 17. The discovery, published in the May
26 Science Express, challenges assumptions of how the moon formed and the origin of frozen water at the lunar
poles. "These samples provide the best window we have to the amount of water in the interior of the Moon," said
James Van Orman, professor of geological sciences at Case Western Reserve and an author of the paper. "The
interior seems to be pretty similar to the interior of the Earth, from what we know about water abundance." In
fact, the researchers found the concentrations of water and volatile elements including fluorine, chlorine and
sulfur in lunar magma are nearly identical to concentrations in solidified magma from primitive terrestrial mid-
ocean ridges on Earth. The discovery strengthens the theory that the moon and Earth have a common origin but
forces scientists to reconsider the current theory of the process: that a huge impact in Earth's early history
ejected material into orbit that became the moon. Part of the origin theory says that water and other volatile
elements and compounds were depleted due to the heat and violence of the impact. This research indicates
otherwise and provides new clues to the process of lunar formation.
5. The moon is about 238,900 miles (384,000 km) from Earth on average. At its closest approach (the lunar
perigee) the moon is 221,460 miles (356,410 km) from the Earth. At its farthest approach (its apogee) the
moon is 252,700 miles (406,700 km) from the Earth.
The moon revolves around the Earth in about one month (27 days 8 hours). It rotates around its own axis in the
same amount of time. The same side of the moon always faces the Earth; it is in a synchronous rotation with the
Earth.
The Moon's orbit is expanding over time as it slows down (the Earth is also slowing down as it loses energy). For
example, a billion years ago, the Moon was much closer to the Earth (roughly 200,000 kilometers) and took only
20 days to orbit the Earth. Also, one Earth 'day' was about 18 hours long (instead of our 24 hour day). The tides
on Earth were also much stronger since the moon was closer to the Earth.
7. The New moon is when the moon is all dark. None of the moon that we can see is lit up during
the new moon.
A Crescent moon is when the moon is between the new and quarter moon stages. It looks like
a "C" shape.
The Quarter moon is when half of the moon is visible. If the moon is waxing, it is called
the first quarter, if the moon is waning, it is the last quarter
A Gibbous moon is between the quarter and full moon stages. More than half of the moon can
be seen, but not all of it.
The Full moon is when the moon is all lit up. All of the moon that we can see is lit up by the
Sun during the full moon.
A second full moon in one calendar month is usually called a blue moon. The saying "Once in a
blue moon" refers to something that does not happen often - like a blue moon.[1][2]
There are 8 moon phases.
8. Waxing is when the part of the moon
that we can see gets bigger every
night. It waxes until it is a full moon.
Waning is when the moon appears to
be getting smaller in size every night.
It wanes until it is a new moon.
9. ↑ However, a blue moon can also refer to the third full moon in a season with four full moons.
↑ Sinnott, Roger W., Donald W. Olson, and Richard Tresch Fienberg (May 1999). "What's a Blue
Moon?". Sky & Telescope. Retrieved 2008-02-09. "The trendy definition of "blue Moon" as the
second full Moon in a month is a mistake."
10. The moon rises and sets every day, appearing on the horizon just like the sun. The time
depends on the phase of the moon. It rises about 30 to 70 minutes later each day than
the previous day, so the moon is out during daytime as often is it's out at night. At the
time of the new moon, the moon rises at about the same time the sun rises, and it sets
at about the same time the sun sets. As the days go by (as it waxes to become a
crescent moon, a half moon, and a gibbous moon, on the way to a full moon), the moon
rises during daytime (after the sun rises), rising later each day, and it sets at
nighttime, setting later and later each night. At the full moon, the times of moonrise and
moonset have advanced so that the moon rises about the same time the sun sets, and
the moon sets at about the same time the sun rises. As the moon wanes (becoming a
half moon and a crescent moon, on the way to a new moon), the moon rises during the
night, after sunset, rising later each night. It then sets in the daytime, after the sun
rises. Eventually, the moon rises so late at night that it's actually rising around
sunrise, and it's setting around sunset. That's when it's a new moon once again.

12. Moon Phases
The Earth and moon are partially lighted at all times, but the moon is not always seen at full phase
because of the location of the moon with respect to the Sun and Earth. Observers standing on Earth
see different phases of the moon or differing percents of of the lighted side of the moon. There are
eight different phases that an observer on Earth would see during one month. They are, listed in order
of appearance, New Moon, New Crescent, First Quarter, New Gibbous, Full Moon, Old Gibbous, Last
Quarter, and Old Crescent.
13. The New Moon is observed when the moonis directly in line with the Sun and Earth. The moon is
interfering with the lighted side of the Earth and therefore cannot be seen by an observer on Earth
because the moon's dark side is facing Earth. Occasionallythe moon's orbit will intersect the Earth's
plane of revolution, which is called a node position and is in a perfect line between theEarth and the
Sun. When this occurs, a viewer on Earth will observethe Sun slowly disappear because the moon
obscures the Sun from view. This unusual occurrence is called a solar eclipse.
14. The Waxing Crescent phase is the second phase. The New Crescent Moon appears
approximately 2.66 days after the new moon (Alter, pg. 4). During this phase, the moon is still
very close in line with the sun, there fore, by the time the sky is dark enough to see the moon
it is very low in the west.
15. the First Quarter moon is visible this means the moon is directly in line so that the Earth and
moon both are getting the same amount of sunlight. An observer from Earth sees a half
moon, therefore, the moon's side that is facing the Sun is observedon Earth and the other half
of the moon is facing away from the Sun and is unable to be seen from Earth.
16. Waxing gibbous, After the new moon, the sunlit portion is increasing, but less than
half, so it is waxing crescent. After the first quarter, the sunlit portion is still
increasing, but now it is more than half
17. full moon, the earth, moon, and sun are in approximate alignment, just as the new
moon, but the moon is on the opposite side of the earth, so the entire sunlit part of the
moon is facing us. The shadowed portion is entirely hidden from view.
18. Waning gibbous, After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually
decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next
19. The Third quarter and First quarter moons (both often called a "half
moon"), happen when the moon is at a 90 degree angle with respect to the earth and
sun. So we are seeing exactly half of the moon illuminated and half in shadow.
20. Waning Crescent following the Third quarter. which wanes until the light is
completely gone -- a new moon.
