At the minor lunar standstill, the Moon will change its declination during the tropical month from +18.3° to −18.3°, for a total range of 37°. Then 9.3 years later, during the major lunar standstill, the Moon will change its declination during the month roughly from +28.6° to −28.6°, which totals 57° in range.
This is called major lunar standstill. Around this time, the Moon's declination will vary from −28°36′ to +28°36′. Conversely, 9.3 years later, the angle between the Moon's orbit and Earth's equator reaches its minimum of 18°20′. This is called a minor lunar standstill. The last lunar standstill was a minor standstill in October 2015.
Gene Cernan on the Moon in the Apollo 17 lander with lunar dust stuck on his suit. Lunar dust is highly abrasive and can cause damage to human lungs, nervous, and cardiovascular systems. [1] Lunar habitation is any human habitation on the Moon. [2] Lunar habitation is provided by surface habitats, possibly as part of a moonbase. [3]

Lunar standstill: every 18.6 years, the declination range of the Moon reaches a maximum or minimum. Lunar precession is a term used for three different precession motions related to the Moon . First, it can refer to change in orientation of the lunar rotational axis with respect to a reference plane , following the normal rules of precession ...
Gemini 7 as seen from Gemini 6 during their rendezvous in Earth orbit in 1965 (NASA). Earth orbit rendezvous (EOR) is a method for conducting round trip human flights to the Moon, involving the use of space rendezvous to assemble, and possibly fuel, components of a translunar vehicle in low Earth orbit.

A standstill is a situation of no movement or activity. Standstill may refer to: Lunar standstill, a time at which the range of the Moon's declination is at a maximum or minimum; Standstill (band), a Spanish post-hardcore-band; Standstill (bicycle), a technique used by bicycle riders; Standstill agreement, an instrument of a hostile takeover ...
