The Moon is the closest large astronomical object to our planet, with an average distance of about 380,000 km from Earth.

The Moon is by far one of the most explored astronomical objects by humans and the only planet except for Earth on which we humans have been able to land manned.

It was half a century ago that humans first set foot on the surface of the Moon.

After nearly half a century, although we humans have not set foot on the surface of the Moon again, we have not reduced our exploration of the Moon.

Unmanned space probes have been launched to orbit the Moon and land on it.

There are some statements that looking back at the Earth from the Moon will make people feel scared. What is going on?

Since not many humans have been able to set foot on the surface of the Moon, only 6 groups of 12 astronauts have reached the surface of the Moon.

So the vast majority of people do not have the experience of a trip to the moon, and the real feelings on the surface of the moon are only known to these 12 astronauts.

These astronauts also know that manned spaceflight is full of risks. And the Moon is 380,000 kilometers away.

So the risks that may exist on the Moon should have been known to them.

Still, when these astronauts reach the Moon, various feelings may arise. It may include joy, loneliness, fear, etc.

After all, this is the first time that humans reach a strange planet.

When night falls, the moon rises to reflect a certain amount of sunlight, so the night of the earth is not completely dark. Likewise, the Earth also reflects sunlight.

However, because the diameter of the Earth is much larger than that of the Moon, the apparent area of the Earth is equivalent to 16 times that of the Moon. And the brightness reflected by the Earth can reach 16 times that of the Moon.

So the Earth seen from the Moon is very large and very bright.

It is also because of this that even the side of the Moon facing the Earth is sometimes very bright without direct sunlight.

Besides, we are already familiar with the brightness of the moon, the size of the moon.

When we see the Earth on the Moon, which is much larger than the Moon. So we may have a fear of giant things.

The Earth is still rotating at 465.2m/s, and if you stare at it, you could easily feel dizzy.

So if you are on the moon, try not to stare at the earth for a long time.

If we humans could have the opportunity to look back at our home planet from hundreds of millions of kilometers away, the feeling in our hearts might not be fear but loss, or other feelings.

Because the Earth before our eyes is no different from other planets in the sky.

Just a small bright spot, there is nothing special.
