Earth May Once Have Had Multiple Moons
fyc writes "A new study from NASA's Ames Research Center has suggested that the collision of Earth and a Mars-sized object that created the Moon may also have resulted in the creation of tiny moonlets on Earth's Lagrangian points. 'Once captured, the Trojan satellites likely remained in their orbits for up to 100 million years, Lissauer and co-author John Chambers of the Carnegie Institution of Washington say. Then, gravitational tugs from the planets would have triggered changes in the Earth's orbit, ultimately causing the moons to become unmoored and drift away or crash into the Moon or Earth.'" The longest-lasting of such Trojans could have persisted for a billion years. They would have been a few tens of kilometers in diameter and would have appeared in the sky like bright stars.
RMS isn't proposing legalization of sex with animals or corpses, he is saying that images of such activities shouldn't be illegal. And he is making a pretty logical argument.
Now, what is your point?
Would this make news about Ragnarok dupes?
Good Lord!! Judging by your proposed headline, you would have posted the full article as the "summary" had you been an editor!
I always thought that now we have absolute proof! --It's good when moderators send people to the cornfield, isn't it?
It looks like some clueless person with mod points thought you were being serious.
