The Moon is thought to have formed when an object roughly the size of Mars hit the Earth. The impact was so violent that it threw large amounts of the Earth's mantle into orbit. This material evenually coalesced and formed the Moon.
Ansel Easton Adams was an American photographer and environmentalist. His black-and-white landscape photographs of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park, have been widely reproduced on calendars, posters, and in books.
By 1971, Ansel Adams wrote that Philip Hyde was âone of the very best photographers of the natural scene in America.â Ansel Adams said he liked Dadâs photograph, âThe Minarets from Tarn Above Lake Ediza,â better than his own photograph of the Minarets in the Ansel Adams Wilderness.
