| | Radagast (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Vala Yavanna forced Saruman to accept Radagast as a companion, which may have been one of the reasons Saruman was contemptuous of him. | | | Radagast was unwittingly used by Saruman to lure Gandalf to Orthanc, where Gandalf was captured. | | | According to the essay "The Istari" from the Unfinished Tales, the name Radagast means "tender of beasts" in Adûnaic, the language of Númenor. |

| | Middle-earth - definition of Middle-earth in Encyclopedia |
| | Tolkien insisted that Middle-earth is our Earth in several of his letters. | | | The Sun and Moon, as well as some stars (including the stars of the big Dipper) followed paths within Vaiya, and as such are a part of Arda, set apart from the Void. | | | Some hollow earth enthusiasts interpret the term their way, believing that Tolkien referred to the hollow earth theory, but nothing in Tolkien's writings or beliefs supports this. |

| | Man in the Moon (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Tolkien's Middle-earth folklore as set forth from the Hobbots, the Man in the Moon is described as being an old being who secretly hid on the island of the Moon, and built his minaret there. | | | Combined with the Elven lore, as presented in the legendarium of Silmarillion, the Man in the Moon of the Hobbits' tales must have his origins in the legend of Tilion the Maia. | | | This is alluded to further in Tolkien's Roverandom, where the Man in the Moon also lives in a Minaret. |

| | Thus, Middle-earth Canon on the question of Gil-galad’s lineage might be that he is not the son of Fingon, but rather he is the son of Orodreth (himself not the son of Finarfin, but rather his grandson). | | | Thus, the Middle-earth Canon is intended to be a consistent version of facts drawn from scattered portions of Tolkien's texts. | | | A delicate example of the canon question is the lineage of Gil-galad. |

| | Orc (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | According to the oldest "theory" proposed by Tolkien (found in The Fall of Gondolin, from The Book of Lost Tales, circa 1917 — the first tale of Middle-earth to be written in full), Orcs were made of stone and slime through the sorcery of Morgoth ("bred from the heats and slimes of the earth"). | | | If Orcs indeed were immortal, it holds no doubt that their fëar would not be allowed reincarnation by Mandos, if they even answered the calling. | | | Nonetheless, his fellow Orcs who discovered him made no attempt to rescue him, for they were humored at his hanging and because they didn't want to interfere with Shelob. |

| | The Moon |
| | The moon's gravity is one-sixth that of the Earth's; a man who weighs 180 lbf (pound-force) on Earth weighs only 30 lbf on the Moon. | | | This concentration may be explained by the fact that the Moon's center of mass is offset from its geometric center by about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) in the direction of Earth, probably because the crust is thicker on the farside. | | | This is an oblique view of the large crater Copernicus on the lunar nearside, as phtographed from the Apollo 17 spacecraft in lunar orbit. |

| | From Earth, a lunar eclipse occurs when Sun, Earth and Moon are in a single line with Earth in the middle. | | | If this occurs, the Moon (or part of it) does not receive light from the Sun because it is in the shadow of the Earth, and thus the Moon becomes invisible even though there would normally have been a full moon. | | | If you were on the Moon during a lunar eclipse you would witness a solar eclipse, with the Earth passing in front of the Sun. |

| | The gravitional attraction that the Moon exerts on the Earth is the cause of tides in the sea. | | | As a result of tidal locking, the Earth's rotation is also gradually being slowed down by the Moon, and the Moon is slowly receding from the Earth as the Earth's rotational momentum is transferred to the Moon's orbital momentum. | | | Since the common center of mass of the Earth-Moon system (the barycenter) is located within Earth, Earth's motion is more commonly described as a "wobble." When viewed from Earth's North pole, the Earth and Moon rotate counter clockwise about their axes, Moon orbits Earth counter-clockwise and Earth orbits the Sun counter-clockwise. |

Le Guin's analysis of narrative rhythm and language in the trilogy; Terri Windling's moving reflection on an escape from abuse fueled by the power of fairy tales; and Douglas A. Anderson's examination of the critical response to Tolkien's work. |

| | The Earth tides are also affected by the Sun, obviously, because the Earth is in orbit around the Sun. | | | The theories of its origin are many and varied: the moon was a piece spun off from the earth, possibly from the Pacific Ocean basin floor, which subsequently caused the continental drift; the Earth had captured a large, perfectly spherical asteroid or meteorite; rings of orbiting materials around the Earth accreted into a moon. | | | The Moon's diameter is one quarter the diameter of the Earth, around 2000 miles, but its mass is one hundredth the mass of the Earth. |
