The longest mission to the Moon was also a relatively recent one; it was slow not because it was an old ship, but because it was extremely fuel and energy efficient. This mission was undertaken by the European Space Agency (ESA) SMART-1 lunar probe, and it took 1 year and 1 month to reach the Moon.
Buteo regalis. Ferruginous means rust-colored--a good description for this big hawk. It can often be seen soaring in wide circles in the sky in open country. This hawk is very rare in Minnesota, but it is seen occasionally along the western edge of the state. No nests have been recorded here.
Thus, ferruginous quartz can often be found in sedimentary rocks in and near hydrothermal veins and in the iron hat (the weathering zone near the surface that is altered by oxidizing surface waters) of iron ore deposits.
