This was done on the opposite side of the Moon to their landing site at the end of their ninth orbit of the Moon.
24.
On the other hand, the gravity due to the Earth would decrease, which would cause the orbit of the Moon to expand.

Full Moon ) will take place at the opposite node of the orbit of the Moon, and under these circumstances another eclipse can occur.
26.
The orbit of the moon doesn't significantly affect the rotation of the earth-although doubtless there is some small effect or other.

Lovell eventually made four missions as an astronaut, including the first orbit of the moon aboard Apollo 8 and the perilous Apollo 13 moon shot.
28.

29.
A fourth influence occurs because the orbit of the moon around the earth and the orbit of the earth around the sun are elliptical rather than circular.
30.
Suparco's studies concentrate on bettering understanding of lunar theory, lunar eclipses, and research involving a comprehensive understanding of the orbit of the Moon.
