Surprising Moon Facts!!!

After I started practice Ashtanga every time the moon day is close I get curious to learn more about the moon and it's effects on earth. This Wednesday is full moon day!!! Take a rest and relax :) Here are some more surprising facts about the moon:

Our Cosmic neighbor!
1-The moon is Earth's nearest cosmic neighbor, but it is more than just a big pretty light in the sky.

When the moon was made?
2-The moon was created when a rock the size of Mars slammed into Earth, shortly after the solar system began forming about 4.5 billion years ago, according to the leading theory.

Apollo Moon Trees!
3-More than 400 trees on Earth came from the moon. Well, okay: They came from lunar orbit. Okay, the truth: In 1971, Apollo 14 astronaut Stuart Roosa took a bunch of seeds with him and, while Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell were busy sauntering around on the surface, Roosa guarded his seeds. Later, the seeds were germinated on Earth, planted at various sites around the country, and came to be called the moon trees. Most of them are doing just fine.

bye bye moon...!???
4-As you read this, the moon is moving away from us. Each year, the moon steals some of Earth's rotational energy, and uses it to propel itself about 3.8 centimeters higher in its orbit. Researchers say that when it formed, the moon was about 14,000 miles (22,530 kilometers) from Earth. It's now more than 280,000 miles, or 450,000 kilometers away.
