!!!!!!

She FOLLOWED ME HOME from my grandma’s EVERY TIME when I was four!

She was making sure you got there, ok

I know! I remember thinking, “the moon is my friend”

also!! same size as the sun from our perspective!!

It’s super weird actually!

You can even see her through a reflection telescope so she is confirmed NOT A VAMPIRE

Excellent point

She was sent here to watch us until we are ready

they put some dudes up there once

several times actually. wild stuff

big if moon i mean true

She is 30 Earth diameters away from us

She's also huge(5th biggest moon in the system) and is hugely important to our life here. Don't take her for granted.

Sometimes I feel bad for her. Like, the moons orbiting Mars have each other for company. If I was earth’s moon, I’d get lonely :(

This is why it's important that we visit occasionally.

It depends on who visits tho. She probably wouldn’t like meeting Elon Musk.

I'm now imagining the moon trying to hide behind Mars and pretending she's not home.

That seems too small

That's how big she is though!

also she's someone's girlfriend.

she ran into me about 4.5 billion years ago. I still think about her to this day.

Yeah and insane thing that she's at a right combination of distance and sizes to just match the angular diameter of the sun and give us eclipses!!

my wife is so talented!!!!

These are my thoughts anytime I’m see the moon

I unironically say hi to her whenever I see her, that is the extent of my relationship with Selene but I still love hef

She’s my gf I love her

Light reflected off her surface takes an entire second to reach us!

there's well backed theories that she's Earth's child science.nasa.gov/moon/formati...

Formation - NASA Sciencescience.nasa.gov How did the Moon form? Earth’s Moon was born out of destruction. Several theories about our Moon’s formation vie for dominance, but almost all share that point in common: near the time of the solar sy...
