Luna
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Ratings Template:Realworld
Luna, often referred to as the Moon, is the only natural satellite of Earth. As of 2525, the Luna OCS Academy located there.[1] Due to its still barren face, one can assume it has not been terraformed, probably a result of Luna's low gravity, and lack of atmosphere.
In Halo 2, the moon can be seen from a variety of points. During The First Battle of Earth, the moon is visible from Cairo Station.[2] In the final cutscene where the Master Chief returns to Earth onboard the Forerunner Dreadnought[3], the moon is seen in orbit over Earth during the space battle between the UNSC and Covenant fleets. The moon can also be seen through a window in the multiplayer maps Midship and Elongation.
"A face" (easter egg) is visible on the Lunar surface from the Halo 3 multiplayer map Standoff.[4]
Trivia
- The "Man in the Moon" is a natural phenomenon that results in the creation of what appears to be a face on Luna's surface. This phenomenon occurs because of the positions of various "seas" of dark, hardened lava, and the positioning of various craters upon the Moon's surface.
