I’m casually big into space conspiracy / fringe science stuff (I don’t know anything I just love good lore) - Goddamn the moon is crazy. That shit rings like a bell anytime we crash anything into it. The craters on it are all of relatively uniform depth regardless of diameter. The dust on the surface is older than the rock underneath. It regulates the tides and seasons. It’s placed perfectly so we can experience eclipses - the probability of that being the case is so so so low - there’s no other moon/planet relationship we know of where that’s the case. There’s plenty of mythology that references times before the moon when weather patterns were unstable and a source of constant chaos. Some say it was put there to help stabilize the planet so we could continue to evolve ;) again I do not know jack shit about how anything actually works but mannnn is there some quality moon lore out there to dive into, cool af that something with such a huge effect on our lives is such a mystery, endless fun rabbit holes.
