Astrophysicist Graham Jones and his team made a remarkable statement about the moon. In the statement January 21, 2023 On Saturday, the moon was reported to be closer to Earth than it has been in a long time. In fact, this intimacy was on such a level as the previous one record of 1,337 years broken.

As you know, the Moon does not have a circular orbit. According to the calculations of Jones and his team, our satellite, which orbits the Earth in the shape of an ellipse, has recently 356,568km came close to us. Average distance from the moon to the earth amounts to 405,000km it’s good to say. That is, the moon was about 50,000 kilometers closer to the Earth than average.

How was the calculation made?

In bringing forward this important claim, the astrophysicist and his team brought forward the “California Institute of Technology”DE431They took advantage of the database called “. Experts who used this database to analyze the moon’s past and future 2,000-year orbit found that the distance between the Earth and the Moon 356,570 km lower They found 3 dates. These dates were as follows:

• December 3, 1030: 356,562 km
• January 21, 2023: 356,568 km
• January 20, 2368: 356,559 km

So, from 1030 Then the moon came this close to the earth for the first time. The next closest distance in 2368 and a new record is set.

As the Moon cools, it continues to move away from Earth!

at the Japan Space Exploration Agency (JAXA), a few years ago made a statement and underlined once again that the cooling moon was moving away from Earth. There’s even an animation about it. According to the statement, the moon came to Earth billions of years ago. was 16 times closer…

So what happens if the moon starts moving towards us constantly?
