Every year the moon moves about 3.8cm further away from the Earth. This is caused by tidal effects. Consequently, the earth is slowing in rotation by about 0.002 seconds per day per century. Scientists do not know how the moon was created, but the generally accepted theory suggests that a large Mars sized object hit the earth causing the Moon to splinter off.
I like to make resolutions. Everything always lies in the potential in something, and then when it involves follow-through, it's lost. I wanted to be 100 different things when I was little. I love everything and want to do everything, but never really delve into it.
Great resoultions, especially about writing!
