As suggested by me before it could well be in webtv's EULA to post this
kind of messages in a newsgroup of your choice at least once a week.

Try a web search under 'tidal locking' and 'mascon'. Mascon is short for
mass concentration, an assymetrc distribution of mass within the moon
that led to tidal locking. The term originated with the Apollo program,
when the lunar orbit was found to be slightly 'bumpy'. oc

It might be an interesting thinking of large objects like comets,and
meteors hitting the Earth at great speeds have effected the Earth's
spin,,tilt and wobble. We have to keep in mind the Earth like all
objects immersed in space has no weight. However it does have very great
inertia. With this great inertia,and no weight this shows to people
that don't understand inertia how to visualize it. Bert
