Time to relax! Once in a “buck moon” edition

  • “A few hundred years ago, naming moons was more about practically tracking the seasons than coming up with a catchy hashtag. For instance, according to the Farmer’s Almanac June’s ‘strawberry moon’ and September’s ‘corn moon’ both correspond with ideal harvesting times.” – Here’s Everything You Need To Know About Tonight’s “Buck Moon”
  • “A baby planet at least as large as New Jersey that smashed into the moon billions of years ago might have created the mysterious grooves that score the lunar surface, a new study suggests.” – Long-Ago Giant Impact May Have Created Moon’s Mysterious Grooves
  • “In the case of the America’s ambition to land on the moon, the backup plan was a little bit bonkers because it relied on a cramped, two-person spacecraft never really intended for use in lunar orbit. It was a plan (well, really, a series of plans) that would have made a lunar landing possible with less of everything—astronauts, fuel, mass, interior volume, launch thrust, and, in one particularly exciting variant, the entire outer body of a lunar lander.” – America’s Crazy Backup Plan To Get To The Moon
  • “A new study says much smaller quakes are happening deep down below the earth’s crust almost on a regular schedule that are tied to the phases of the moon. Just as the moon’s gravitational pull affects the ocean tides, scientists say they now have hard data to show how it has the same effect on hard ground.” – New Study Indicates Link Between Moon Phases And Earthquakes
  • “On Earth, there would be a significant amount of long winters, and ‘a general cooling off,’ of the world at first, he says, perhaps followed by a warming. We’d see ‘wild extremes’ that are more drawn out and last much longer than the planet has previously exhibited. Petro emphasizes that these climatic effects would certainly not be felt immediately — they would occur on a scale of 1,000 to 10,000 years. But there is one other effect that humans would have to find solutions to very quickly if the moon were blown up or hit with some sort of explosive force: debris.” – If Aliens Ever Attack Earth, We Need To Protect The Moon Or Die Trying
