Why Does The Moon Not Have Always Spun
The article is about how the moon may not have always spun at the same angle it does today. According to a new study, patches of water ice that formed in craters on opposite sides of the moon tell that its axis may have shifted billions of years ago. About three billion years ago it was pulsing with volcanic activity beneath its surface. A team of planetary scientists say that all that magma around in the moon may have shifted its axis, moving its poles about six degrees to where they are today.

I think that it’s very crazy and a little unexpecting how they’re just now finding out about this kind of stuff but at the same time it’s cool, not everyday you find out that the moon may not have always spun at the same way. I do believe it, because

    When Galileo first turned his telescope to the moon, he had no idea that he was about to see something that would cast doubt upon centuries-old beliefs. At the time of Galileo, science was based upon the teachings of Aristotle. According to Aristotle, the Earth was the center of the universe. All heavenly bodies, including the moon, were perfect spheres that moved around the Earth with circular motions or combinations of circular motions, and the Earth was the only source of imperfection in the universe. According to the moon truther, there are two reasons why he describes the moon as a hologram. The first piece of evidence of why he thinks the moon…

    The position of the moon during the time I observed it with respect to the horizon and compass direction changed quite a bit as well. From the first night I observed the position of the moon it was 4 fists about the horizon. As the moon changed from a waxing gibbous to a full moon the position increased to 5 fists above the horizon. Then as the moon changed from a full moon to a waning gibbous the moons position began to decrease from 5 fists above the horizon to 4 fists, 3 fists, and on my last observation it was at 2 fists above the horizon. Also, the change in the moon position changed with respect to compass direction changed from on my first observation it was in the South direction to at my last observation being in the East direction. So, through out the whole…

    To begin, some people think the moon landings were faked because because of a moon rock in one of the shots. The rock appeared to have the letter “C” on it. This rock made people think that the rock could have been a prop. There are more logical reasons for this. For instance, someone might see a rock on the ground and it might look like it has a face or a letter in because of the way it formed, The moon rock could have just appeared to have a letter in it because of a small indent in it. Therefore proving that the rock was most likely not a prop.…

    The moon has stumped many people on where It was originated from. How did the moon get its shape? Why does the moon have craters? Many theories were made with evidence to prove that the moon was made in different ways, however, the most accurately proven theory is that the moon was formed when a mars-like object hit Earth and erupted into little pieces. The little pieces were floating around the Earth and then formed together to create the moon, we were orbiting around our solar system.…

    There are a various number of ‘evidence’ or ‘claims’ that prove that the moon landing was indeed fake - but then there is actual scientific evidence that proves these ‘claims’ or ‘evidence’ to be false. The first claim against the moon landing being fake is that when the astronauts were putting up the American flag it waves yet there is no wind on the moon. Actually, the flag appears to be fluttering because it is hanging from a horizontal rod. This rod was thought of by NASA scientists before they brought it to the moon because NASA scientists were aware that the moon had no wind (Google Books, 2016). Without this horizontal rod, the flag would have just drooped down (Google Books, 2016). Also, when you look at it carefully, you notice that…

    The moon landing was such a big accomplishment to all of mankind that I just refuse it to have been faked in front of millions of people. The universe is such a mysterious place that we barley know anything about it. It’s surprising to realize that we know more about our own moon, something that is 240,000 miles away, than we know about our own oceans. We still have much to discover about our own planet and planets millions of light years away. The moon is just such an insignificant thing that even though some think we still have not been there, we have so much information about it that it is so hard to believe them.…
