• Can solar power be harnested from Can solar power be harnested from the moon?the moon?

HypothesisHypothesis

• Solar power can be harnested from Solar power can be harnested from the moon by absorbing the rays the moon by absorbing the rays being reflected off the moon. being reflected off the moon.

My ProjectMy Project

The reason I chose this project is The reason I chose this project is because I believe that solar power because I believe that solar power from the moon can be an alternate from the moon can be an alternate source of power so we don’t burn up source of power so we don’t burn up our planets resources. Also, because our planets resources. Also, because the sun isn't up 24 hours a day the the sun isn't up 24 hours a day the light from the moon might be the light from the moon might be the night time source of solar energy.night time source of solar energy.

Look in To The FutureLook in To The Future

• If solar power can be harnested from the If solar power can be harnested from the moon and used as an alternate source of moon and used as an alternate source of power to fuel modern and future day power to fuel modern and future day society our planet and all that inhabit it society our planet and all that inhabit it may have a better future. may have a better future.

• If not other alternate sources of power and If not other alternate sources of power and fuel should be found or our planet, fuel should be found or our planet, animals, and even us might not have such animals, and even us might not have such a good future. a good future.

Will This Power Source Will This Power Source Last?Last?• This source of power is designed to be This source of power is designed to be

a alternate source of power so we don’t a alternate source of power so we don’t use up our natural resources and harm use up our natural resources and harm our environment in the process. But, if our environment in the process. But, if we can save our planet using this we can save our planet using this source of power than lunar power may source of power than lunar power may become a secondary or even a become a secondary or even a permanent power source in our permanent power source in our everyday lives.everyday lives.

Results Results

Solar power can be obtained using Solar power can be obtained using solar panels specially designed to solar panels specially designed to obtain solar energy from the moon.obtain solar energy from the moon.

ConclusionConclusion

• In the end I was right about obtaining In the end I was right about obtaining solar power from the moon and if it is solar power from the moon and if it is used to help our planet we may have used to help our planet we may have a future to look forward too. a future to look forward too.
