Or maybe it could have been pluto just slowly revolved around all the planets catching debree on the way and finally got forced into gravity and stayed
@TheOneRebornElyrize as a matter of fact the moon does spin, yes it is tidally locked to the earth so one face always points towards us. It is in synchronous rotation meaning that its rotation time is roughly the same time as that it takes to obit the earth. Think of it this way, if the moon orbits the earth and the same side always points to the earth it has to rotate to allow that to happen. Hope this helps :)
@TheOneRebornElyrize One theory is that the Moon used used to orbit the earth much much closer than it does today. Its been slowly drifting outward and still does. because it was so close the the Earth gravity pulled the moon out of shape, pulling the surface of the Moon facing the Earth into a bulge. As the moon rotated the bulge was always tugged towards the Earth. This caused so much friction that it slowed the moon down, eventually so much that the bulge always faces us. Just a theory tho.
@TomBridle In a sense, yes, But it's not truly "rotating". If so, you could say everything on our planet, around our planet (including the sun, and every bit of matter in our galaxy) rotates because we spin around the core of the galaxy. It's not really true rotation, more like revolving.
@ItsNotEvenSunny That depends if truly rotating means that the time to obit and the time to rotate on an axis must not be the same. I understand your point and yes when everything is in motion how it is it becomes rather subjective. But I would still say the Moon rotates on its axis. during its orbit it must rotate fully around its own axis to continue to face the Earth. Even with everything else in motion too same as how the Earth orbits the sun and in turn the Sun orbits within the Milky Way.
@TomBridle Actually it takes less energy for the moon to constantly face towards earth than it does to "rotate" as you say. Other wise the moon would have begun spinning.
It's rotation is just as fast as it's revolution. I read that in a book about the universe. That's why everyone sees the same side of the moon every night. If it didn't rotate at all, we would see the near side, and Asia would see the far side.
@princessbinas A fixed revolution is not rotation. Think about what you said, If we saw one side and Asia saw the other, when it comes back around to our side it would have in essence rotated.
I read about it in a book I found in the libray called "The Universe". Look for it and it will accuratly state what I said 'It's rotation is the same speed as it's revolution'. Think about it. Asia sees the same side as America does. The moon takes at least 24 hours to complete 1 revolution and 24 hours to complete 1 rotation.
@princessbinas so you're saying the earth rotates 366 times when it goes around the sun, because one revolution = a rotation. Wrong. Oh you're a 16 year old, when you get into college and take physics course i'm sure you'll understand. Btw not every science book from libraries or schools are 100% accurate, some can get pretty old. my brother in 8th grade has an astronomy book that states plenty of misinformation, due to it being old. Your understanding is lacking, sorry
Not saying that. Earth has at least 24 hours per rotation and 365 days per revolution. The moon has 24 hours per rotation and 24 hours per revolution. See? The moon is so close (~2 Earth Days away) that it takes shorter time and gravity plays a huge roll. If the moon never rotated then Asia would see the Far side and us the Near side.
@boipinoi604 cause I dont have an atom smasher available to me currently...but dont work CERN already captured it and contained it for something around a 1/20 of a second or something...so no need for that
The only way I could understand two moons colliding into one would be if one was made of a soft-malleable material, as if the two moons were still a collection of particles rather than a solid celestial body.
It just seems implausible that two solidified bodies out in space could meld together as I don't believe the moon's gravity powerful enough to create enough friction to melt the spheres evenly.
If the moons were still particle-like in consistency, I wouldn't consider either a true moon.
@Galaxieretter unless you mean that God can also translate as a collection of matter packed in an incredibly small area, which then implodes then explodes at the speed of light, then that makes sense. I'd call that science, but if calling that God makes you feel better then more power to you.
If God to you means a humanoid sitting on a cloud somewhere, deciding it feels right for the world to be born then that makes no sense whatsoever. And please don't point to a religious book to defend this.
The reason for the smooth side facing the Earth and the rough side facing the rest of the solar system is obvious to me. The Moon is in gravitational lock with the Earth, therefore the 'dark side' of the Moon always faces outwards which is where the majority of space rock comes from. Slamming into the back of the Moon, creating a rough surface. You see?
the collision theory sounds true. look at the rock Gene Cernan and the 12 other men who have been there brought back is it igneous rock is it anorthosite if the answer is yes the collision theory is true
the collision sounds true. look at the rock Gene Cern an the 12 men who been there brought back is it igneius rock is it anorasite if the answer is yes the collision theriory is true
@rockabdechafi4ever You are a idiot if you didn't know.It didn't say The Earth has two Moons, it said that it might once had.And it actually looks like it did according to this.But it is just a theory thou.
If a Mars sized object hit the earth wouldn't earth be in pieces as well? Wouldn't both explode? Isn't the earth 4 1/2 billion years old, so it happened at the beginning of the forming of earth from the gasses of the sun? This video raises many questions. Would someone with greater knowledge enlighten me?
@LovinLearnin Collisions of this magnitude melt the bodies involved, in whole or in part. And consider that all this happens in a gravity field as strong as Earth's is today. Thought experiment: Slice the modern Earth in half with a giant knife. Try to push the halves away from each other. How much force would it take? Think about that. And then consider the ancient collision scenario again. Would everything just go flying apart?
@awe130 "Don't you know that they are very hard to see in space as claimed by the Apollo astronauts?"
Try it yourself. Use your regular dime-store camera, point it at the horizon, and a shot of the sky at night. Of course, on the moon it was daytime, so despite the black sky, there was the very bright sun to contend with.
At any rate, with sun glare and all the reflected light from the ground, I'm not sure how easy stars would have been to see stars even with the naked eye. Get some sense.
@awe130 Stars aren't hard to see in space, they are hard to photograph in space without blowing out the brighter objects, like moons and planets. But you can sure see them. Ask any astronaut. :)
I do agree with you but we asked NASA why the Apollo astronauts and ISS astronauts always seem to have problems to answer this question. When they are asked on the ISS about stars they never seem to have an clear answer. For sure not, when you ask them if they see start on the daylight side of the earth.
@awe130 I personally heard ISS astronaut Doug Wheelock discuss the stars during an event at Kennedy Space Center in July. He said they were bright and beautiful, even more so than on Earth because they are crisp and colorful and don't shimmer or twinkle. He wasn't unclear on this at all.
i always thought that moon's side facing earth is more smooth because statistically it has had lower probability of objects attracted by moon-earth system to hit moon "from the inside" as it were...
but this two moons hypothesis is interesting indeed, especially if it has a chance of being evidenced by this mission.
I am willing to believe a lot of stories, but that a Mars sized object crashed into the Earth and our planet survived that and the other did not? And then again on the Moon??
Get real, if such a large object hits our planet, BOTH will be destroyed. A Mars sized object isn't that much smaller than Earth. There is so much energy in these large high speed objects, none would survive such a disaster.
The diameter of Mars is about half that of the Earth. It's not like both objects would *disappear* in a collision; the two objects would, rather, merge and remelt. At an oblique angle, a lot of crustal material would be sheared off and flung into orbit about the new, merged planet. This material would fairly quickly coalesce to form moons, and, ultimately, the Moon we see now. All of this is backed by extensive computer simulation.
@pseudorandomly Exactly what I learned. A sliding blow that started the core spinning and all. although I thought they had just a little problem with the math. Does this two moon theory help cover the mathematical problem that i believe had something to do with remaining mass of the moon?
Define "destroyed". They would wholly or partially melt. & what is the liquid rock kicked up going to do in the presence of the new combined gravitational field? It's going to either fall back down or go into orbit about the new body, as rings. (Some portion of it possibly being flung away at greater than the new escape velocity.) Both planets survived but are now 1 planet. The Mars-sized object is part of our modern Earth. The rings coalesced into our Moon.
@flexairz "Both will be destroyed"? That all the matter of the two bodies would disappear?! Gravity would very fast pull the almost liquied collective bodies together, to form a new, bigger planet. And whatever wasn't pulled in, formed the moon. "None would survive such a disaster"?
You are right! Luckily life had not originated yet on earth, so there wasn't really anything to kill. If you don't know anything about the subject, ask curiously instead of this silly post of yours.
lets say we found out this theory is true... what is the point of knowing this how does it better us humans... why should we give a fuck. they should be figuring out how to colonize the moon in the future not this bull shit from the past
@THE16THPHANTOM try not to let this stuff bother you so much. it's just science. NASA can figure out both if there were two moons AND how to colonize the moon.
The moon is expanding as it's gravity degrades see Neal Adams video...same as earth mars and other planets. This is another lame attempt to explain earth's unique tectonic plate subduction that you do not see on any other planetary body. If there is subduction here there should be subduction on mars and the other planets.. /watch?v=tBT8KyWVxj8
Neal should submit a scientific paper for peer review. You know, see what the top scientists around the world who dedicate their entire lives to the study of our reality have to say about the theory. Scientists who are driven to introduce new and controversial ideas if those ideas have merit and evidence, because it will give them great success and recognition.
spongah, you should just change your name to "God". Not that I believe in one. But the best evidence we have suggests that a Mars-sized body collided with the primordial Earth. The energy of the collision melted the rock of the smaller body, and a good percentage of the primordial Earth's. And the new larger Earth had rings. That much is not so controversial. It's a matter of deciding whether the ring matter coalesced into one body, or into two which later collided.
@sbergman27 I was surprised to see someone still questioning the collision theory, but i see there is one, but just to be clear I thought that they had suspected more of a sliding collision. Give rise to the spinning core and I there was just one small bit that didn't quite fit. Does this two moon theory cover the small gap in that theory or are you aware of what I'm talking about?
@MyNana420 The impact hypothesis is generally considered most likely, and thus not "controversial", but the science isn't a done deal. Here is the WP article on the Impact Hypothesis:
That's really cool, I've heard of this before.. but wouldn't a collision like that leave us with a planetary ring system here on earth like that of Saturn or Jupiter? Would love to see earth with a ring system though.
I'm not sure but i think that would depend on how close to the Earth the junk was orbiting. There's a limit, the Roche limit, I seem to remember, within which tidal force would be too strong to allow a moon to coalesce, and within which any moon would break up. Further away than the Roche limit, I would think the stuff would be able to coalesce and remain in one piece because the tidal force would not be enough to rip it apart. But I'm not sure....anyone else know more on this?

@awe130 Stars aren't hard to see in space, they are hard to photograph in space without blowing out the brighter objects, like moons and planets. But you can sure see them. Ask any astronaut. :)

@JMajorLITD,
I do agree with you but we asked NASA why the Apollo astronauts and ISS astronauts always seem to have problems to answer this question. When they are asked on the ISS about stars they never seem to have an clear answer. For sure not, when you ask them if they see start on the daylight side of the earth.
Peace to you

@awe130 I personally heard ISS astronaut Doug Wheelock discuss the stars during an event at Kennedy Space Center in July. He said they were bright and beautiful, even more so than on Earth because they are crisp and colorful and don't shimmer or twinkle. He wasn't unclear on this at all.

@JMajorLITD,
I know that some want to speak out and do but did he refer to the daylight side of the earth?

My dad told me that I was crazy when I asked him when I was kid, did earth have two moons? ^^
Now I have prove....soon. :)

i always thought that moon's side facing earth is more smooth because statistically it has had lower probability of objects attracted by moon-earth system to hit moon "from the inside" as it were...
but this two moons hypothesis is interesting indeed, especially if it has a chance of being evidenced by this mission.

I am willing to believe a lot of stories, but that a Mars sized object crashed into the Earth and our planet survived that and the other did not? And then again on the Moon??
Get real, if such a large object hits our planet, BOTH will be destroyed. A Mars sized object isn't that much smaller than Earth. There is so much energy in these large high speed objects, none would survive such a disaster.

@flexairz
The diameter of Mars is about half that of the Earth. It's not like both objects would *disappear* in a collision; the two objects would, rather, merge and remelt. At an oblique angle, a lot of crustal material would be sheared off and flung into orbit about the new, merged planet. This material would fairly quickly coalesce to form moons, and, ultimately, the Moon we see now. All of this is backed by extensive computer simulation.

@pseudorandomly Exactly what I learned. A sliding blow that started the core spinning and all. although I thought they had just a little problem with the math. Does this two moon theory help cover the mathematical problem that i believe had something to do with remaining mass of the moon?
MyNana420 5 months ago
@flexairz "BOTH will be destroyed."
Define "destroyed". They would wholly or partially melt. & what is the liquid rock kicked up going to do in the presence of the new combined gravitational field? It's going to either fall back down or go into orbit about the new body, as rings. (Some portion of it possibly being flung away at greater than the new escape velocity.) Both planets survived but are now 1 planet. The Mars-sized object is part of our modern Earth. The rings coalesced into our Moon.
sbergman27 5 months ago
@flexairz "Both will be destroyed"? That all the matter of the two bodies would disappear?! Gravity would very fast pull the almost liquied collective bodies together, to form a new, bigger planet. And whatever wasn't pulled in, formed the moon. "None would survive such a disaster"?
You are right! Luckily life had not originated yet on earth, so there wasn't really anything to kill. If you don't know anything about the subject, ask curiously instead of this silly post of yours.

The moon is expanding as it's gravity degrades see Neal Adams video...same as earth mars and other planets. This is another lame attempt to explain earth's unique tectonic plate subduction that you do not see on any other planetary body. If there is subduction here there should be subduction on mars and the other planets.. /watch?v=tBT8KyWVxj8

@huntncomfort "another lame attempt to explain earth's unique tectonic plate subduction."
Neal should submit a scientific paper for peer review. You know, see what the top scientists around the world who dedicate their entire lives to the study of our reality have to say about the theory. Scientists who are driven to introduce new and controversial ideas if those ideas have merit and evidence, because it will give them great success and recognition.
I'm sure they would love to hear the news.

@spongah "No"
spongah, you should just change your name to "God". Not that I believe in one. But the best evidence we have suggests that a Mars-sized body collided with the primordial Earth. The energy of the collision melted the rock of the smaller body, and a good percentage of the primordial Earth's. And the new larger Earth had rings. That much is not so controversial. It's a matter of deciding whether the ring matter coalesced into one body, or into two which later collided.

CashCreep 5 months ago
@sbergman27 I was surprised to see someone still questioning the collision theory, but i see there is one, but just to be clear I thought that they had suspected more of a sliding collision. Give rise to the spinning core and I there was just one small bit that didn't quite fit. Does this two moon theory cover the small gap in that theory or are you aware of what I'm talking about?
MyNana420 5 months ago
@MyNana420 The impact hypothesis is generally considered most likely, and thus not "controversial", but the science isn't a done deal. Here is the WP article on the Impact Hypothesis:

That's really cool, I've heard of this before.. but wouldn't a collision like that leave us with a planetary ring system here on earth like that of Saturn or Jupiter? Would love to see earth with a ring system though.
accd1d 5 months ago
@accd1d
I'm not sure but i think that would depend on how close to the Earth the junk was orbiting. There's a limit, the Roche limit, I seem to remember, within which tidal force would be too strong to allow a moon to coalesce, and within which any moon would break up. Further away than the Roche limit, I would think the stuff would be able to coalesce and remain in one piece because the tidal force would not be enough to rip it apart. But I'm not sure....anyone else know more on this?
