10 CRAZY facts about the Moon

🌕 Get ready to have your mind blown by 10 CRAZY facts about the Moon that will change the way you think about space! You’ve seen the Moon shining above, but did you know it's packed with hidden surprises that could redefine what you know about the cosmos? Whether you're a lifelong space enthusiast or just a guy who enjoys cool science facts, this video is perfect for YOU!

In today’s episode of Journey into the Cosmos from Everything Science, we’re uncovering the Moon’s most mind-blowing secrets, with facts you probably haven’t heard before. Did you know the Moon is actually shrinking, or that it’s drifting away from Earth? How about the fact that it could one day serve as a pit stop for astronauts traveling to Mars? Stick around to learn how the Moon affects time itself—seriously, the Moon has the power to make time slow down!

🧠 Ready for some space trivia to blow your mind? Here’s one: The Moon has been shrinking over the last few hundred million years. NASA discovered that as the Moon contracts, it creates moonquakes that rumble across its surface. Imagine that—earthquakes, but on the Moon! If that doesn’t make you look at the Moon differently, wait till you hear what else it’s hiding.

💧 There’s water on the Moon! And not just a little—NASA found millions of tons of water ice trapped in the Moon’s craters. This could mean astronauts will use the Moon as a refueling station for deeper space missions. Imagine stopping off at the Moon for a quick water refill on your way to explore Mars. If that doesn’t get your space-faring imagination going, I don’t know what will!

🕰️ The Moon affects time itself. This is one of the most mind-blowing things about our closest celestial neighbor. Einstein’s theory of relativity tells us that the Moon’s gravity is strong enough to actually slow down time. If you were to stand on the Moon, time would move just a little bit slower for you than it does for your friends back on Earth. It’s not quite time travel, but it’s about as close as we’re going to get!

🌑 And let’s debunk that classic myth: there’s no permanent “dark side of the Moon.” While the Moon is tidally locked to Earth, meaning we always see the same side, the far side isn’t in permanent shadow. In fact, it gets just as much sunlight as the side we can see. So, the idea of a spooky, hidden “dark side” is nothing more than science fiction.

🏔️ Mountains taller than Everest? Yep, the Moon has them! Some of the lunar mountains rise over 6,000 meters tall, surpassing Earth’s tallest peak. But these aren’t snow-capped giants—they’re covered in lunar dust. That dust, by the way, is super sharp and dangerous, as Apollo astronauts learned when they experienced “lunar hay fever” after walking on the Moon’s surface.

🌕 As if that wasn’t enough, the Moon is drifting away from us! Each year, it moves about 3.8 centimeters farther away from Earth. Over time, this will affect our tides and one day, solar eclipses might not be visible anymore. Imagine a future without solar eclipses—that’s the Moon slowly saying goodbye, inch by inch.
