Nice cut and paste.

Celestial mechanicsFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaCelestial mechanics is a division of astronomy dealing with the motions and gravitational effects of celestial objects. The field applies principles of physics, historically classical mechanics, to astronomical objects such as stars and planets to produce ephemeris data. It is distinguished from astrodynamics, which is the study of the creation of artificial satellite orbits.

I thought we weren't suppost to do that...You could expand by saying that astrophysics, classical mechanics, and several theories that actually show these types of motion (thrust being a large one) are used to answer these types of things that scientists research.

A full moon occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of the earth from the sun. Normally at the very end of the month because it is part of a lunar phase.
