Evolution Of The Moon

From year to year, the moon never seems to change. Craters and other formations appear to be permanent now, but the moon didn’t always look like this. Thanks to NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, we now have a better look at some of the moon’s history. Learn more in this video!

You can tell it’s future too. What goes up, must come down. The moon is travelling away from Earth about the same rate our fingernails grow. It is being push away by it’s own gravity, travelling like a surfer on the wave it creates pulling up Earths oceans and atmosphere. Once it has reached a distance where it’s gravity can no longer do that, it will reverse direction. Once that happens there will be no stopping its return to Earth. But don’t panic it won’t happen anytime soon.
Well this is a nice video and all, good special effects and everything but without the effects and influences of one of the most important members of our solar system taken into consideration it’s just a nice video without any relevant meaning beyond the impacts and resulting craters that are shown.
