Why Is The Moon Moving Away From Earth?
The bright asteroid or meteor that appeared on the Earth’s horizon 2 months ago, although it is not the moon, is a piece of our moon.
It is being said that it is possibly a rock separated from the moon. However, now this harmless piece of the moon is moving away from the Earth due to the sun’s gravity.
According to scientists, this rock was probably separated from the moon when a meteorite hit the moon with such force that a crater was formed there and a rock separated from that place and went into space.
However, now this harmless piece of the moon is moving away from the Earth due to the sun’s gravity.
However, in January next year, it will come close to the Earth again and its distance from the Earth will be 1.1 million miles.
The US space research agency NASA will use radar antennas to try to detect this 33-foot rocky object when it approaches Earth in January.
Technically, this object is not the moon, but it is still a fascinating object for the organization.
This object, which is called the small moon, has not fully entered the Earth’s gravity and orbit and is still 2 million miles away from Earth.
Astrophysicists discovered this rocky piece that separated from the moon.
This piece will enter the solar system far from Earth after January next year and will then come close to Earth again after 30 years in 2055.
