    If you were to get rid of that dust it has built up on the surface, then yes. It would be very close to Nevada.

    Of course the moon dust is also a grayish color, like a powdered lava. The most popular theory for the moon's existence is it broke off from Earth and created it's own entity, after getting slammed by a large asteroid.

    It could not have formed on its own from nebula dust because the moon core is not iron. That chunk out of the Earth that now makes the Pacific ocean is probably now the moon.

    Really?

    When were you on the moon last? How were the road conditions up and back?

    I haven’t been on the moon since my early 20’s. I remember it vividly. I think it was the dark side.

    The fun part is that a decade or so, some geologists studying deep earth origin tremors found a pattern that indicates there might STILL be two stupendous-sized pieces of the moon-forming asteroid rolling around inside the liquid mantle of the Earth, rolling against the underside of the Earth's crust like an enormous pair of dice.

    I 70 was a long white knuckled day empty. Devils canyon hit me hard and I was only going 50mph at the time. My conclusion is running empty out west is just dumb.

    that stuff is fascinating, isn't it? I learned from back in my college days, what's even more interesting is learning how we figure that stuff out. They send vibrations through the Earth, and that's how we know what the center of the Earth is made of.

    Thousands of years ago one of the first people to claim the Earth was round, and not flat, did so by using Trigonometry. And it wasn't Aristotle. He was a flat-Earther guy. A genius by his own right, but obviously wrong about the Earth being flat. Aristotle's influence throughout ancient Greece delayed our realizations the Earth was round by a long time. I don't remember exact numbers.

    I really enjoyed learning and studying that stuff, but it did nothing for me to help me earn a living. Go figure. lol

    Solid cans of sound!

    I've been to the dark side of the moon.
    I've been to the wrong side of the track.
    Where the night goes on forever.
    Fills like it wont be coming back.
