The Earth, The Moon & The Sun

I am a selfish person.

Do you know which way The Moon goes round The Earth? Is it the same way as The Earth rotates or the opposite? Yeah and is the speed the moon going round the earth greater than the Earth rotation speed?

Hmmmm have a look at this taken by the NASA’s Deep Im­pact space­craft. This is the space craft which chased the comet to take a close up look and do a few experiments. And it has taken a video of The Moon eclipsing The Earth from 31 mil­lion miles (50 mil­lion km) away.
