Hey now. In 5 billion years, the moon will be 50% farther away. Think about it.

Think about it.


By then the sun will be burnt out.

Apollo 11 placed mirrors on the moon and scientists have shot lasers at them since then, counting how long time it takes to reflect.

Anyone who says that "we've known about this for a long time," remember there are people in 2023 who think the Earth is flat.

If the orbit radius increases, won't its velocity slow? Wouldn't that mean it would come back down and then go back out over and over?

No

Goes to msn home page. Guessing it's bullshit.

This.

The moon has always been drifting away, but at something like half an inch a year. Theres zero practical impact on a species-scale.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

To be fair, with how NASA probably put stuff on it like a flag pole claiming it belongs to America, Roscosmoss Luna 25 crashed on it, India leaving the Chandrayaan-3 on it, along with Dr. Ivo Eggman Robotnik pissing on it, I wouldnt hang around to deal with any more B.S. either.

What in the hell does "beginning to impact us" even mean? 4 cm per year on a cosmic scale has zero noticeable impacts.

I hate science headlines.
Its really just a headline for people that dont understand science. Obviously every single person in this thread managed to immediately detect the bullshit.

It's probably the same as all those "Alzheimer's breakthrough!" headlines.

Waiting for Joe Rogan and his guest to credulously declare this was thanks to a Chinese space laser project started under Obama and financed by George Soros.

Eventually total solar eclipses won't be possible. Though that's millions of years in the future.

Thats just silly.

Everyone knows the space lasers are Jewish.

It turns out that the Moon is moving away from Earth at us at 3.82 centimetres a year. That means that, eventually, itll result in Earth days lasting 25 hours in 200 million years time.

Me waiting for the time when we can finally have an extra hour in every day:
