So the moon has no rotation?

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

it rotates, coincidentally at the perfect rate to keep the same face towards the earth, takes 27 days to circle the earth, 27 days to make one rotation (roughly, of course),

The moon is one weird cookie, it also just happens to exactly be far enough to perfectly eclipse the sun. And apparently, they say it is not from here... I.e. it isn't just made from pieces of broken off earth... It was like parked here.

i've heard two theories, one that it's a captured planetoid, that was passing and the Earth pulled it into it's orbit, or, that a large asteroid hit the earth so hard it knocked a chuck of the planet loose on the opposite side, and the pieces formed into the moon we now have...i tend to favor the passing planetoid theory, but i'm not a scientist....as has been pointed out.
but if it's true....makes me wonder where it was formed? is it from this system? or was it a true wanderer, that crossed the interstellar void, before it got captured by the Earth's gravity?

And this is what they'll find there.



I'm glad I'm American. We go towards the light here.

I have read the moon is slipping away like 6" a year though, and eventually it's orbit will wobble.

Not that we will have to worry about it anytime soon.

It is not made from the same stuff earth is. That's why they can tell moon rocks from earth rocks.

The worst rocks come from Uranus.

If you eat too much green cheese from the moon.

You're going to be in all kinds of trouble with the flat earthers when they hear about this.

the chinese have sending probes up since the late 70's.....in all honesty i think the far side would be a good launch point, that SOB has so many craters on it's back side it looks almost like swiss cheese......of course it still get's hit like crazy.....last weekend i had the telescope out, you can actually see more impacts on it.....it's a fun rock to gaze on
