Let's say a large asteroid would hit our Moon, knocking it out of orbit or much farther away, so earth would wobble more? An asteroid big enough (or fast enough) to have enough energy the moon out of its orbit wouldn't knock the moon out of its orbit, it would shatter it, and turn a great deal of it into plasma.

earth tilt to 45 deg?
With the rise of celestial sphere software then so have descriptions of the Solstice event followed suit. It is a planet with a zero degree inclination and a pivoting circle of illumination off the Equator -
https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevorn.../#6d8a1b5152e6 When a website run by a space agency does these things then places like sci.astro.amateur become important, after all, what level of intelligence would ask the question - "When does the line between day and night become vertical?" https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap170319.html When such things flourish it comes back on the individual to ask - is it worth destroying astronomy for the sake of a rotating carousel view ? |
