How does Moon’s moving away affect the Earth?
Stephen Meyers, a professor of geoscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, explained that the moon moving away, would have significant impact on the earth’s geological structure as well. Even though there is a lot more to be known about the moon, but it is true that the moon’s position in space has some important meaning around our lifestyle and the surroundings. There is frighteningly little we know about the moon and Earth’s natural satellite moving away can be seen as a bad news.
China’s space program working around moon’s history from billions of years back
And this is just one of the latest discoveries that’s altering what we know about the Moon. China’s space program has discovered unknown structures hidden beneath the Moon’s surface, remaining secrets from billions of years ago that are now helping scientists work out what it used to be like.
The Moon’s gradual moving away from the Earth has far reaching repercussions for our planet and its future. The ever-increasing length of days, albeit occurring at a pace that is incredibly slow, attests to the dynamic nature of the Earth-Moon link. This current research by China provides priceless information on geological history and future of our planet with respect to its natural satellite.
