        It’s probably Jupiter. It’s always stealing moons. Why do you think it has so many?

        That’s actually because it’s slowing earths rotation down! So as the moon moves away, days get longer down here. If the earth and moon were tidally locked, it would stop gaining distance

        Which makes it crazier - the earth was around for a long time before humans came around. Then the sun and the moon become the same size in the sky, and boom! Humanity
