The Moon.

[Vercades]

Has anyone noticed the moon's orbit lately? I know that sounds like a wierd thing to ask but, its wierd. I moved into this house 2 months ago and every night I'd see the moon in the bottom left corner of my window. It always would rise there. But, in like 3 days time it now rises in the right bottom corner of my window. I don't know much about space, cept where the planets are and highschool stuff, but I've never seen it do something like that. Just got my attention for a second one night before I went to sleep. Anyone got the answers?

[hypnotizeminds]

Maybe that's an annual shift, kind of like daylight savings time and the seasons and all that, give it time. Maybe it'll go back. If not, be afraid. Be very.. very afraid. :eek:

[Vercades]

Not only that but 2 nights back the moon was freakin HUGE! And bright I mean it was bright enough to walk around and see almost like daylight. (I'm a nightowl on occasion) I don't know but the more I watch it the more things I see that I never seen before. I think maybe the Earth tilted on its axis alot a couple days ago and made it seem like the moon shifted.

[lufbra]

I suggest you giving the beers to AnnMarie. :p

I think it's all to do with the earths orbiting, after all, that's how "months" was created, working with the positions of the moon. :)

[Vercades]

Ahahaha, me and my halfbaked thoughts, but it did freak me out one night the moon went all over the place and I as like OMG! The planets are gonna have a pile up. :laugh:

[degsy]

I thought months were invented so you know when the footy season was :D

[hypnotizeminds]

Vercades, you're blowin' my mind, maaaan...

[renegade600]

I heard the moon is falling to the earth and it will colide with in 20 years.

[degsy]

was that from the same person who sold you the magic beans? :p

[hypnotizeminds]

Seems logical to me, I just hope it doesn't land where I live. Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll just bounce off and leave the earth's surface unscathed. :thumbsup:

how did you guess? :rotflmao:

Vercades, your house is shifting. The moon and planets are pretty much doing what they've done for years.

[Snurfen]

Vercades, is your house near the San Andreas fault? Look for cracks in your patio and driveway. Also get the termite man in to check your foundations. Check your windowframe with a plumb line. :rotflmao:

Actually, Dec 21st (or 22nd, depends on who you ask) was the winter wotsit where the days in the northern hemisphere start to get longer. The moon was EXTREMELY large on December 31st around for most of the evening. Admittedly, I was viewing throught the bottom of a beer glass.

20 years eh Dan? Better start building a rather large tinfoil hat then.

Uhhhh, I don't think its my house but if the other hill I live opposite to is doing the moving, I might be moving in the future. Cause I saw the moon rise in a different part of the hill unlike where it usually does.

Naw, I don't live anywhere near San Andreas, but I do live close to the largest fault line ever recorded in Earth's history. Betcha, can't guess where that is can ya? :laugh:

Vercades you can move your chair back now, the carpet cleaner has finished!

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Vercades...Apalachians?? (apols for spelling).

[Vercades]

Haha, sorta right! An earthquake happened there so bad that it created its own lake fomation, over in Paducah. And if a quake ever happened around here since we a above thousands of caves that's a recipe for disaster.

It was the same aliens that are frequently broadcasting into my brain. I usually know when their ship is in the area due to their transmissions but recently I was able to partially block their transmissions and the pills I'm taking right now tend to mute the signals further. When they arrive in our planetary neighborhood they tend to alter the moons orbit as their ship is so massive and dense due to the alien metal it's constructed of. I'm supprised you noticed the change as they also simutaneously broadcast mind control waves that bolck people from noticing the alterations in the moons orbit. It's very comforting to me to learn that I'm not the only person that is able to see thru these mind control transmissions and see the truth. Maybe there is hope after all and more people will soon know the truth.

Must be the quality of the ale ya drink. :p

[oink]

The aliens put drugs in all of the other brands.

[jtdoom]

even when the Moon is constantly falling, it is also constanlly getting further away from Terra, and this action goes along with our days getting longer...

Mind you, by the time the moon is 7 lightseconds away, Terra will be IN the Sun's chromosphere.

[smurfy]

but I do live close to the largest fault line ever recorded in Earth's history
I think you better stop listening to your local old folks and read up a little on the geology of this planet.

The fault lines that caused a few mountain ranges have NOTHING on the fault lines that form the continental tectonic plate boundaries (one of which me and AnneMarie are sitting pretty much on top of ;) )

I'd say if you were standing on what is now the East coast of Brazil about 180 million years ago with the other foot in what is now West Africa, you may have got some idea!

Keep in mind I said in Earth's recorded history, meaning someone saw and wrote about that occurance, not speculate on the aftermath and make theories. I forget the magnitude of the quake but it ranks up there to the recent tsunami quake, And I learned that from my teachers in school, they may be old but they know their stuff.

This quake made the Mississippi river, by connecting the southern and northern smaller rivers, How's that for a quake? Even though that's where the tall tales of Paul Bunyan making the Mississippi river came from.

Brazil and Africa was once one but that fault line is centuries in the making, this one just popped out quite recently in comparison.

[smurfy]

Keep in mind I said in Earth's recorded history,
No, you didn't, READ it again.

How's that for a quake? It was pretty big (http://www.tuppenceworth.ie/biglife/quake.html)
Hmmm, and the ones that built the Andes or the Himalyas were small or even the Rockies themselves?

[Vercades]

No, you didn't, READ it again.I did too say that! Stop picking on me. :upset: Unless you're going to get all Bill Clinton on me ask me what my definition of "it" is. :laugh:

No contest on how major that fault line in the himalaya's but what I meant was the quake caused by the fault line, was the only of its kind recorded in history, people wrote about it and some lumberjacks or someone was killed in it, hard to remember exact details, but it was recorded.

Hehe, told ya it was a big ole earthquake. :rotflmao:

[jtdoom]

are quakes not caused by the Moon?

[Bad Dog]

The deadly Asian earthquake may have permanently accelerated the Earth's rotation -- shortening days by a fraction of a second -- and caused the planet to wobble on its axis.

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down. I don't know what planets do.
Just make sure the sun rises in the East and sets in the West and I'll be happy.:dizzy:

The moon and the sun do not "cause" earthquakes, any more than that last straw, by itself, harms the camel. But they can, at the right time and given the right conditions, help to start a quake that's just about "ready".

Don't stop now, baby, let it all hang out.

[Vercades]

Yeah I heard about that today from my brother his teacher told him about it, I was wondering why the moon looked so oddly out of place. :confused:

[jtdoom]

to bad dog

suns and moons a cause make

in our case, they make worlds spin slower, get further together, and when finally, the light goes out, we're in the far reaches of the limelight.


this case, IN the chromosphere is still correct, cuz the Sun has blown up by the time the moon crept away that far... Terra is not getting closer to Sol either!

JEEZ
the only thing cramming together is mey keyboard!

I still think when you sobor up it will look right. :rotflmao:
