INyanga

Kuzungezohlelo lweLanga, iNyanga iyiduna elikhulu nelinesisindo ukwedlula nemizulane esichwe eyaziwayo, futhi iyiduna lesihlanu elikhulu. Umnyondo wobuso bayo ulingana nengxenye eyodwa yesithupha yomnyondo woMhlaba, okuyisigamu somnyondo kaNotshezi, futhi ungowesibili omkhulu ezinyageni zozungezohlelo lweLanga kulandela inyanga kaMkhulukhulwana ebizwa uSontshaba. Umzimba weNyanga umahlukohluko futhi uhlabathi, unengcosana yamanzimbulunga, umoyambulunga newonga. Ubuso benyanga bumbozw nge-regolith, equkethe izincushuzo eziphafuke egobohleni ngenxa yokugadlazeke. Ingakho kuthiwa umaqubintuli, futhi igobohla lakhe linezigqabhozi zokugadlazeka eziningi.  Inyanga yake yaba nobuqhebeqhebe bezintshabamlilo eminyakeni eyisigidinqindi (1.2 billion) edlule. Indabuko yeNyanga ayaziwa, kodwa kukhona abahlawumbisela ukuthi yabumbeka ngezithako zoMhlaba, ezaphafuka lapho ugadlazwa indikimba elingana noNotshezi ebizwa gokuthi uThiyana eminyakeni eyizigidinqindi ezi-4.51 edlule, ngemva kokubumbeka koMhlaba.

Ebangeni elikuyo, izimo zobusuku nemini zikamaqubintuli thina sizibona kuyizimo zenyanga, nalapho iNyanga idlula ethunzini loMhlaba kuba noNyezibomvu.  Ubungako obubonwayo beNyanga esibhakabhakeni cishe balingana nobeLanga, okwenza ukwazi ukulisitheza ngokugcwele lapho kunensitholanga egcwele. INyanga iyindikimba eqhakazayo ebusuku ngenxa yokulwentuza ukukhanya. 

INyanga ibilokhu ingumthombo obalulekile wogqozi nolwazi emlandweni ikakhulu kwezenkolo, ubuciko, Inzululwazi yemvelo, nokundiza emkhathini. Izindizamkhathi zokuqala ezaya endikimbeni esemkhathini zaya eNyangeni, kusuka ngowe-1959 lapho kuyingeleza i-Luna 1 (eyathunyelwa i Soviet Union), Kanye ne- Luna 2 yaba nohlonze emhlabeni wonke, ezalandelwa ngowe-1966 umcababalo othambile we- Luna 9 nozungezo lwe- Luna 10. Abantu baqala ukunyatuela ebusweni heNyanga ngo July 20, 1969, besebenzisa indizamkhathi i-Apollo 11. Ngowe-1972,  kwase kuthunyelwe izindizamkhathi iziyisithupha, kwacababala abantu abayishumi nambili eNyangeni. Maduze kulindelwe ukuba uhlelo lwe-Artemis lubuyosele abantu eNyangeni.
