Moon: "Probably formed when a body the size of Mars collided twice with early Earth. The first collision was a glancing blow The second, two days later, was a major impact that threw enough material into orbit to form the Moon. Since then, the Moon has been steadily receding. Eventually it will be so distant that Earth will start to wobble and our climate, deprived of its lunar regulator, will become chaotic."--Container

Jaw drop: "A total eclipse of the Sun ... happens when the Moon, which is 400 times smaller than the Sun, completely oscures the Sun, which is 500 times farther from us than the Moon. -- an astonishing celestial coincidrnce. Nature has another light show--the auora. A swirling kaleidoscope of color, it is seen at night around the polar regions wen electrified particles from the solar wind interact with Earth's upper atmosphere."--Container
