    According to a New York Times article on technical mistakes in the movie (and personal observation), the film shows the moon changing phases several times during Apollo 13's four-day journey. There should have been only one phase, a waning half-moon, since Apollo 13 was scheduled to land on the left side of the moon and landing was always planned for sunrise, so that long shadows could aid navigation. (Sunrise on the moon, of course, occurs only every 28 days.). The changing of the phases constantly is probably for a more dramatic effect and to show that this is going on within multiple days because if the audience sees something changing it will subconsciously help them split events up into separate…

    The sun and the moon form part of our universe, where they both hold their own power and value. The sun is in the center of the solar system with nine planets moving around it. The light given from the sun helps us experience the day and the night. After the sun, the moon is the the brightest object in the sky. Though the light that shines at night does not originate from the moon, it is reflected by sunlight. Their differences from each other are responsible for the life that we live in this Earth. Knowing about the sun and moon we can relate their relationship to the Spanish and the Aztec. The Aztec hold the position of the sun. When they first settled on the swampy island called Tenochtitlan, it became…
