Let's examine these so-called "facts"....I can confidently say you have been misinformed.....
What is the likelyhood of the impact sparking ineteria, and kicking off the Moon's rotation?
Likelihood is ZERO. BUT, based on how you asked the question, seems you have a very basic misconception, for starters. The Moon is ALREADY
rotating!
Also, here are a few "facts" that I was told earlier in the year that I haven't been able to confirm yet.
You should look harder, the information -- REAL and accurate information, is out there.
With regards to Earth's Moon; There are NO other moons/satelites in our known universe that:
1.) have NO rotation as they orbit.
First...terminology. "known universe" huh? Perhaps you meant to say our Solar System, since the entire "known universe" is very, very large by
comparison, and not really that well "known" yet...just observed best we can.
Second, there are many, many examples of other planets' satellite that are "tidally locked" so that they rotate just slow enough to appear to keep
one hemisphere toward the parent planet.
Search some of the terms above.
2.) perfectly eclipse the sun
Well, again...the Moon does NOT "perfectly" eclipse the Sun. Another mistaken belief that has made its way into lore.
Pictures of the Moon in color are not new, nor unusual. ALSO, lots of them that you may be referring to have been enhanced, with
false color
techniques, for various reasons.
I dunno, doesn't this all create a somewhat creepy vision of the Moon? Isn't this thread correct in coming up with irrational/rational
theories as to the actual events they are hiding? Everything they tell us is a lie, therefore we can all accurately assume that this official story is
false as well.
WHAT "official story"? You are incorrect in many of the assumptions, due to bad scientific knowledge. You are getting some of these crazy ideas
from ATS threads, it seems...and when you read through them you will find quite normal explanations, instead of the frantic hysteria that some posters
like to use....
The very titlwe of this thread shows the lack of understanding I'm mentioning....
