“Nobody knows what made the gargantuan crater on the dark side of the Moon”
A meteor.
When I see the word WEIRD in a title, I don’t open the story. When I come across it in the story I (usually) stop reading right there.
No,No, and No! Read it anyways! How the hell would you know what is idiotic or not if you don’t actually ingest it and digest it to see if it gives you gas or not?
Man, I wish firewalls would quit holding back discovery and whether it is BS or not. Hopefully we are personally intelligent enough to judge validity or not without needing to throw up a firewall?
Are we afraid of our own will power to resist ideology?
To throw up a firewall because of one phrase or word is ignorant my friend. At least read the input with a critical frame of mind. lol

It killed all the lunar penguins.

You come up with some real goodies!!

Near the south pole. Must have been a glancing blow. Maybe the blow that knocked it into our orbit ?
Or locked it in sync rotationally ?
Did earth ever have a 25 hour day. I find when I am on an unstructured vacation time, I shift to a 25 hour day— getting up an hour later each day.
We call that sleeping in.
what do you mean? They landed a man on Mars too. Sheila Jackson Lee said so.
The so-called circadian rhythm has been shown to be regulated by day length, IOW, without help, as with the Rhythm Method, we can't keep a beat. :^)
The 2004 topic I linked up there somewhere is the one to read, but it's not exactly pertinent because that antedates humanity. One of the old calendars (in use for a good long while) had months of exactly 30 days, and year length exactly 360 days long. That suggests a slower spin rate (about 98 percent of current) for the Earth -- the day would last a bit longer, and there would be fewer of them during orbit around the Sun; similarly, the Moon going at the same rate would take a little longer to "catch up with".
Yeah, that's gotta be it. :^)
