The little brunette ditz on CNN and her telescope-penis joke were a good
reminder why I am watching less-and-less TV these days.
Anyway, the preliminary results are baffling, with no ejecta plume
observed by anyone and the spectrum of the impact flash showing sodium
for some reason.


The moon is really salt?!? One of Guth's rants is true? Say it ain't
so....

It's at least half so, because sodium is at least worth the better
half of what terrestrial salt is all about, although perhaps other
minerals or raw elements suitable to that extreme vacuum and solar
+cosmic bombardment have recombined to create a sodium+whatever
composite crystal that's equivalent to salt. I'm not exactly sure how
much nitrogen exist on or within that naked moon of ours, though I bet
with that much spare sodium there's more than enough nitrogen to make
its very own fair share of table salt.

I've also deductively suggested/speculated there's a darn good chance
of some brine layers or geode pockets of brine existing within that
robust crust, and for certain underneath where the average density of
our Selene/moon isn't all that great (by rights of limited seismic
data could even suggest that it's semi-hollow).

Pat


I would have been quite surprised it there wasn't a strong indication
of sodium. So what's the big deal, just because I'm 100% correct
every once in a while?
