One (or more) of our moons is missing | |
2008-05-07 | |
NewScientist.com news service The ancient catastrophe that gave birth to the Moon may have produced additional satellites that lingered in Earth's skies for tens of millions of years. A new model suggests moonlets may have once occupied the two Earth-Moon Lagrangian points, regions in space where the gravitational tug of the Earth and the Moon exactly cancel each other out. Objects trapped in these points are called Trojans and can remain stationary forever if left undisturbed. . . . Once captured, the Trojan satellites likely remained in their orbits for up to 100 million years, Lissauer and co-author John Chambers of the Carnegie Institution of Washington say. Then, Does that mean The Crash of Moons is based on a true story? Wowzers!

#1 "Crash into the Moon or earth" > 'Tis a questionne' I'd asked one of my profs a long time ago at PENN STATE, i.e. did the Earth have two or Moons at one time; + could the YUCATAN/CHIXULUB EVENT which suppos wiped out the Dinos [but NOT WALTER CRONKITE = "DINOSAURS" Show] 65.0 Milyuuhn Yarns ago be one of our own Moons, NOT a Lunoid from outside of Earth's orbit or our own Solar System??? |
