Angular Meteorite Strikes on the Moons Surface

In summary, the conversation discussed the mechanisms behind the disappearance of irregular shaped meteorites, leaving behind symmetrical craters with shallow floors. The discussion focused on two theories, one being the popular belief that the moon was formed from a collision with another heavenly body, and the other being a newer and controversial theory that suggests the moon was ejected from the Earth. The conversation concluded by stating that until the theory is published in a reputable peer-reviewed scientific journal, it cannot be discussed further.

TL;DR Summary
An explanation into the mechanisms that make irregular shaped meteorites, including some up one tenth the size of the moon, seemingly vanish, leaving symmetrical craters with surprisingly shallow floors.
Summary: An explanation into the mechanisms that make irregular shaped meteorites, including some up one tenth the size of the moon, seemingly vanish, leaving symmetrical craters with surprisingly shallow floors.

We’re going to look at the initial conditions of the moons formation from the popular theory that the Earth collided with another large heavenly body and literally spun off the moon. And after establishing that solid foundation we’ll a look at a newer, still controversial, theory that the moon was ejected from the Earth causing a deflation on the earth.

that's isn't a new theory

not really sure where you are intending to go with this thread ??

Publish your paper in a reputable peer-reviewed scientific journal. Until then, as you know, it cannot be discussed here at the PF.

Thread is closed pending the publishing of the article...

1. What causes angular meteorite strikes on the moon's surface?

Angular meteorite strikes on the moon's surface are caused by the impact of small rocks and debris from outer space colliding with the moon's surface at high speeds. These impacts can occur due to the gravitational pull of nearby planets or other celestial bodies.

2. How do angular meteorite strikes affect the moon's surface?

Angular meteorite strikes can create craters, ejecta, and other surface features on the moon. These impacts can also cause changes in the moon's surface temperature and composition, as well as create seismic activity.

3. Are angular meteorite strikes common on the moon?

Yes, angular meteorite strikes are quite common on the moon. The moon has no atmosphere to protect it from incoming debris, so it is constantly bombarded by meteorites and other objects from space.

4. Can angular meteorite strikes on the moon's surface be predicted?

While scientists can track and predict the paths of larger objects that may collide with the moon, it is difficult to predict the exact locations and timings of angular meteorite strikes. However, ongoing studies and observations can help us better understand and anticipate these events.

5. How do angular meteorite strikes on the moon's surface impact lunar exploration?

Angular meteorite strikes can pose a risk to lunar exploration missions, as they can damage equipment and affect the safety of astronauts. However, these strikes can also provide valuable information about the moon's history and composition, making them an important area of study for scientists and researchers.
