Global Changes
The History Channel had an interesting program on about the moon and the way its orbit affects our weather. Did you know that with out the moon in the presice orbit it is in around the Earth that this planet would be a strom ravvaged uninhabitale planet? It's true, I didn't know.
Gallieo was the 1st perosn to "discover" the moon. It was thought to be flat, like the world, and his telescope proved it was round and had a surface to it. That was about all he cared about it. He was more interested in the other planets. He never made any attempt to discover its orgion.
For years the theory of the earth's and moon's and planets orgions were thought to have been pieces of the sun that were thrown off during its formation. That has change many times.
George Darwin, the son of Charles, developed a theory that the moon "evolved" from the earth. It was excess matter that wasn't needed or, like a cell spliting, and the moon seperated from the earth. He even had a mathimatical theory that could prove that the moons orbit could be back traced to 50,000 miles of the earth. At that distance the moon would have circled the earth 6 times a day. But it could never be brought closer than 50K miles. Darwin went on to become a leading scientits in weather systems and studies.
Thomas Jefferson Suell, comanding office of Mare Island Naval Station near Vallejo, developed the "Capture Theory". If the sun's gravity could capture and hold the planets, why couldn't the earth do the same. It had credance for years until the earth's gravity was proved insufficient.
There has been the "Small Fusion Hypothesis" about how or solar system developed by being a swirling gas cloud that slowly developed into seperated "rings" and began to collapse on themselves forming the Sun and planets. Researchers of the "Bermuda Triangle" have gone as far as theorizing that a "Black Hole" may exist in the earth causing the gravational changes in that area.
The sun and planets are believed to be made of the material of stars. As one scientist put it: Uraninium is not something that would exist without the influence of stellar material in a planets orgin. But what about the moon?
It wasn't until the Apollo Space Program that man had rocks from the moon to study them that they learned there is a difference. The surface of the moon contains less minerals that does the earth. It is also made up of small rocks and materials that have been cryatalized togther by the heat of impacting metors.
William Hartman is the scientist who has developed "The Griant Impact Theory" and it is held in popular bellief amoung many leading scientists.
This theory is about when the solar system was developing and the planet was still a molten ball of material circleing the sun. It was hit by an object the size of Mars and the obect went off in a different direction and the earth, being molten, resealed itself and settled into a new orbit. What is unsure is if it was Mars, itself that hit the earth.
The debri from this impact would have been cast off material from both objects and being molten, could have developed enough gravity and density to colase into the moon.
The moon affects our planet in many way more than just the tides. Which in some places is as much a 55 feet twice a day. The moon's obrit around earth is at the precise degree which allows us to have the climates we have. With out it the earth would be a storm ravaged planet that, probaly, would not have supported human life.
Problem is: the moon is getting further away from earth evey day. True it's only .063cm a day but that is going to affect the total global weather system, today.
It's not just the planet going through it weather changes as it has every 150K years since the planet was formed, it is now the changing orbit of the moon.
Folks, we are in the middle of a global planet change.
Take care stay safe.
