Sparkley Moon, sounds like a new drink.

Impossible, the moon is made out of cheese.

Meteor swarm ping....

That’s what the outer gas giants and the moon are there for - to keep us safe.

Would you be so kind as to spot on a Moon map the site of the basalt flow that Catholic Monks in Italy witnessed in the 1600’s? They saw the red glow for a couple of days. I do not know if it too was due to an impact, or just normal flow of focused heat energy (ie, a volcano).

[onedoug]

I wonder why impacts in the central region are essetially nonexistent.

Consider what the impact map would look like if the moons surface was rolled out flat. The distribution would look far more uniform. Although I agree the center band does look a bit sparse even considering the above.

[onedoug]

Could the geosynchonous incidence of Moon toward Earth be a factor?

[onedoug]

But that’s a satellite or telescopic photo, no?

“Impossible, the moon is made out of cheese.”

Perhaps kamikaze space rats so hungry they crash headlong into the moon desperate for food because they’re agonizingly hungry?

[onedoug]

Also, measurable impacts at both polar limbs are nonexistent.
