The take away message is check, check and check again and if all those cross-checks agree, make someone else repeat the experiment and reproduce your results.

 . Moon reflects sunlight that is why it is bright. It rises and sets every day/night because of the Earth's rotation. At the same time, the Moon orbits around the Earth with a 28 day period. So the time it rises and sets changes depending on its position in its orbit.
 . The day sky is blue because the dust in the Earth's atmosphere scatters blue light more effectively (particles best scatter wavelengths of light of their size or smaller). It is the same reason why the sky is red at sunset.

 . The air blowing over a planes wings has a different velocity above and below the wing. This difference in pressure results in a lift. This is why planes cannot fly in space - there is no air.
