I've always found that one funny.
If it broke off from the earth, isn't it incredibly-lucky that it's covered with silicon, the perfect reflective dust to accommodate its role in illuminating the night and signalling breeding and flowering times to nature?
I mean, when we look around here on earth, we're just drowning in silicon dust, aren't we? What're the odds?
Handy that it's so-round too. Loses the better part of a foot a year in its orbit so how long would it have taken to become round before orbit was lost altogether, and how close would it have to have been before the process started?
The theory is about 4.5 billion years. The earth wasn’t very rocky back then so it’s not like a chunk was taken out and left a big hole ya know?
