Study Explains Why Lunar Craters Are Bigger On the Near Side
An anonymous reader writes "A new study of asteroid craters on the moon has uncovered some big differences in the composition of the crust on the two sides of the moon. 'While massive impact basins pockmark the moon's near side, its far side contains considerably smaller basins. The discrepancy in crater distribution has puzzled scientists for decades. To investigate what may have caused this difference, the team obtained data from NASA's twin GRAIL probes, which orbited the moon from January to December 2012. During its mission, the probes circled the moon, making measurements of its gravity. Zuber and her colleagues used this data to generate a highly detailed map of the moon's crust, showing areas where the crust thickens and thins; in general, the group observed that the moon's near side has a thinner crust than its far side.'"
The only way to explore space is by sending people into a tin can in LEO. We can't explore space from our computer chairs.
blacks commit more violent crimes. they have a culture that celebrates violence. being a street criminal thug that victimizes other people is cool and earns respect.
a true racist could never do so much to bring down the blacks as what they already do to themselves. talk to a black person who grew up in the hood and struggled like hell to get out and make something of themselves. they will all tell you the same thing. they got beat up - not by white racists - but by the other black kids because studying and trying to do good in school was "acting white" and being an "uncle tom".
it's so sad what human beings will do to other human beings.
