Metal Armor Dragonar
is a 48-episode mecha anime series, created by Nippon Sunrise (later renamed Sunrise during production) and aired from 1987 to 1988. Devised shortly after the release of ''Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ'', ''Dragonar'' was intended to be both a "starter" series to get new fans into mecha anime, and a potential successor to the ''Gundam'' franchise. In fact, its concept is to be the renewal of the first ''Gundam''; and the mecha are designed by Kunio Okawara, the mechanical designer for most of the ''Gundam'' series. Though the series enjoyed good ratings and earned a loyal fan following, it failed to surpass ''Gundam'' and ended up as a single series, probably due to its light, ''ZZ Gundam''–like take on the real robot mecha genre.

Moon
The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It is the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System and the largest and most massive relative to its parent planet, with a diameter about one-quarter that of Earth (comparable to the width of Australia). The Moon is a planetary-mass object with a differentiated rocky body, making it a satellite planet under the geophysical definitions of the term and larger than all known dwarf planets of the Solar System. It lacks any significant atmosphere, hydrosphere, or magnetic field. Its surface gravity is about one-sixth of Earth's at , with Jupiter's moon Io being the only satellite in the Solar System known to have a higher surface gravity and density. The Moon orbits Earth at an average distance of , or about 30 times Earth's diameter. Its gravitational influence is the main driver of Earth's tides and very slowly lengthens Earth's day. The Moon's orbit around Earth has a sidereal period of 27.3 days. During each synod ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
