I liked it when Jupiter came spinning by, spinning so fast for its size. Its wild that a day on Mercury last longer then a year. That one scar looks more like a bump scar then an impact. Maybe Callisto bumped into another moon creating that scar and that in turn shortened its day. Space is so dreamy, thanks for sharing :0)
@FieldMajor76 well whether giant impact of just bumping into another object, this shows that Solar System's early history was a violent ones..evidence of that violence is every where even here on Earth, the creation of our Moon, is said to be result of a giant impacts...many of those impacts shaped life here on Earth, and surprisingly our very existence is attributed to them
@Infocollective22 doubtful. with the consistent decrease of value in the american dollar, our increasing debt, and frankly, the lack of interest the probability of this happening is slim. especially within that time frame. after all there are "people starving" and whatnot.
@JAD3889 Well maybe if we stop spending money on totally pointless war,we might do something productive then. We would've had a moon base if ti wasn't for the cold war by now......
