8 Mysteries and Facts of Moon Formation

The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth, and the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System. It is the largest natural satellite of a planet in the Solar System relative to the size of its primary, having 27% the diameter and 60% the density of Earth, resulting in 1⁄81 its mass. The Moon is the second densest satellite after Io, a satellite of Jupiter. 

1. Moon is Older Than Earth

Age months older than expected, even predicted older than the earth and the sun itself! Age Earth unpredictable oldest is 4.6 billion years old. Meanwhile, even the Moon rocks are 5.3 billion years old. Month 1 billion years older than the Earth!

2. Hard Outside

Normally the planet will be hard outside and increasingly soft inside, as our earth. No such thing with the moon. The interior of the moon like a hollow, while the hard top as hard as titanium. This is why the moon is very strong and resistant attacks.

Moon's biggest crater 300 km in diameter, with a depth of only 6.4KM. Meanwhile, according to a scientist, if it crashed into rocks last month, crashed into the Earth, it will form a hole at least as deep as 1.200KM.

Months also proved hollow when the Apollo crew left the moon, throwing back the rest of the aircraft is not used back to the Moon.

As a result, an earthquake and echoes on the lunar surface during 15 minutes. This discovery restarted by the crew of Apollo 13, which this time falls harder, causing echoes for 3 hours 20 minutes.

It is like being ring a bell then rang, just as there is no air, the sound of bells produced can not be heard by humans. Meanwhile, the present invention is questioned by Carl Sagan, the natural satellite may not hollow inside.

3. Moon rocks

The origin of moon rocks and dust itself is not clear, because of differences in the composition forming a contrast to the composition of the rock.

Stones that have taken apollo team weighing 380 pounds, showed a unique and rare materials such as pure titanium, chromium, yttrium, and others. The metal is very hard, heat-resistant, anti-oxidation. Kinds of metal does not occur naturally in nature, and certainly not form naturally.

The scientists also have difficulty penetrating the outer moon when they drilled the outer months. Once in carefully, drilled earlier part is a mineral with the content of titanium, uranium 236 and neptunium 237.

Ingredients super strong anti rust, which is also formed naturally impossible, because it is used on earth to make stealth aircraft. Most likely, this man metal work. Moon rocks also somehow very magnetic. Though there is no magnetic field on the moon itself. Unlike a lot of earth containing a magnetic field.

4. Water evaporates

On March 7, 1971, in which the instrument was installed by astronauts recorded the presence of water across the surface of the moon. Water vapor was last up to 14 hours and cover a surface area of ​​100 square miles.

5. The size of the Moon = Sun

Moon can cover the sun in total eclipse of the moon, but not the same size. Interestingly, the distance of the Sun to the Earth exactly 395 times the distance of the moon to the earth, while the diameter of the sun exactly 395 times the diameter of the moon.

At the time of a total solar eclipse, the size of the earth and the moon is exactly the same, so that the sun can be closed in completely. The count is too careful and accurate when only an astronomical coincidence alone.

6. Orbit strange

Orbit is the only month that really almost perfectly round from all of our solar system. The main weight in located closer than 6000 feet geometrical center, which should lead to precisely curved orbit.

Something that is not known to have made the months of steady on its axis. One theory that has not been believed to be true also said that the face of the moon is always the same in every day because of the things that cause it. Which in essence, remains an astronomical coincidence.

7. The origin of the moon

The theory that the moon was once part of the Earth's mentally fabulous out of the earth because of collisions in the past almost everyone agrees, after they thought that the moon was formed from the dust of the compressed air into a satellite of the earth.

Later this theory is that if a part of the month being taken away from the earth, the earth will not be round like now. And if the moon is not hollow, it may not be a satellite in earth, because it was too heavy and the moon will hit the earth.

The theories of the origin of the moon back into question, and the history of the craziest theories began to emerge, that the moon was created intentionally by man earlier as aids in navigation and astronomy!

8. The Moon is a spaceship

Perfection in a nearly perfect, and the anomalies that exist on the moon, plus added many objects unidentified flying on the moon made many said it was likely the moon is a spaceship big super intelligent beings created by our ancestors.

And the moon has not been abandoned by its inhabitants! All the crew of Apollo astronauts and other astronauts or researcher months, all have seen the lights and flying objects unidentified passing between the moon, appear and disappear, and even be with each arrival and departure of a team of astronauts who visited the moon.
