I doubt that many Freepers follow the Electric Universe theory - they are mostly firmly entrenched in 1950s astrophysical science.
They want their boulders nice and round
even if they aren’t to be found ...

Whoa. Going to bed, now. I’ve had all the “science” I can handle for one day.

I mean the name was really far out
but we felt Rolling Boulders didn't sound quite right

This is how it happened. The moon is rotating and the boulders roll about creating the grooves..... right? : )
Also if you look closely you will find that the boulders are gathering no moss.

We need a pretty name for OUR Moon! The proper name of our moon is Luna. It's where we get the word, lunar.

This moon has so little gravity that the boulders that supposedly made the groves would have had to be enormously heavy to not bounce off the surfaceWhich is one of the reasons I don't buy into the 'boulders made the grooves' theory.

I doubt that many Freepers follow the Electric Universe theoryWhich is quite odd considering the entire Universe follows it.

Yeah, here have been a lot of pics of Phobos, and Stickney, and Deimos, over the years.
