Thing is when I was a kid I learned tits 6mm a year, watched a Niel D T YT a couple days ago that said a meter an a half a year. An now I read 4cm? Better recording? Math?

Yup, before long, total eclipses of the sun will be a thing of the past. Not before human extinction, of course.

Without the moon we don’t have tides, mudflats & emergence from water -I’ve never seen the requirements for a ‘Goldilocks planet’ include the requirement for a satellite moon…some scientists are so left-brain as to be unable to imagine a paradigm that doesn’t exist already-ours

Of course it will, as the moon escapes earth’s gravity, every cm distance reduces earth’s gravitational pull and spins the moon further from earth……
