New study provides clearer insight into how the Moon formed and why its materials closely resemble those of Earth.
Tides come from a difference in gravity across an object. The force of gravity exerted by the Moon is about 4% stronger on the side of Earth that faces toward the Moon, compared to the opposite side ...
As a symbol, the Moon did not have an easily decipherable meaning – which encouraged medieval people to read it in playful ...

The Moon Used to Be Much Closer to Earth. It’s Drifting 1.5 Inches Farther From Earth Every Year and It’s Slowly Making Our Days Longer
So the bottom line is that the gravity of the closer tidal bulge on the Earth is pulling the Moon forward, which increases ...
A gem of a find by The Public Domain Review of a collection from the Rijksmuseum: photographs of plaster models of the ...
Faint hydrogen signals from the cosmic Dark Ages may soon help determine the mass of dark matter particles. Simulations suggest future Moon-based observatories could distinguish between warm and cold ...
So the bottom line is that the gravity of the closer tidal bulge on the Earth is pulling the Moon forward, which increases the size of the Moon's orbit. This means that the Moon gets slightly farther ...
