Topic	Imagine if the moon was another earth

The mass thing he's talking about is probably about keeping an atmosphere. A magnetic field would help too but this is all pointless talk because we're starting from "The moon is actually another earth with goblins living on it." Well apparently scientists believed The Moon did once have an atmposhere long ago, although how it lost it is unknown I believe. It also does technically have a magnetic shield, just a very weak one, which got weaker over time as the moon does not have enough mass to maintain convection at its core to remain molten. https://www.lpi.usra.edu/features/100517/moon-atmosphere/ https://sservi.nasa.gov/articles/mystery-moons-lost-magnetism-explained/ ^ I've seen more recent articles than these but i could not find them. --- 3DS Friend Code: 3480-2661-5116 http://s6.zetaboards.com/Kalamity_Kove/index/ <cite>OHJOY90 posted [p:924766488] in Imagine if...
