Comments on: Supermoon October 2024/2024/10/17/supermoon-october-2024/The goal of this blog is to create a long list of facts that are important, not trivia, and that are known to be true yet are either disputed by large segments of the public or highly surprising or misunderstood by many.Sun, 02 Feb 2025 06:30:04 +0000hourly1http://wordpress.com/By: thomasstigwikman/2024/10/17/supermoon-october-2024/comment-page-1/#comment-971Sat, 02 Nov 2024 17:39:05 +0000/?p=724#comment-971In reply to Patricia Furstenberg.

It is a bit strange. The near side of the moon has a crust that on average is 43 miles / 70 kilometers thick and the far side has a crust that on average is 93 miles / 150 kilometers. They believe this difference is rooted in the fact that the moon was created in a collision. BTW I am sorry for the late reply. Like I told the previous commentor, I am having problems with legit comments going to spam and I forgot to check for a while. As you know, I truly appreciate all your comments.

We had clear skies here, and it was beautiful, but what you saw with the Halloweenish background, sounds spectacular. I wish I could have seen it.

It was a spectacular sight. Cars pulled over to watch it rise. The weather was cold, windy, cloudy, eerie, and Halloweenish! I loved it.

Thank you Diane. I agree that is a fascinating thought: when we look up at the moon, we are seeing the very same one that the first life looked upon.

I knew some of this, but didn’t know how the moon came to be. I just thought it was always there, and for all human life so it has. I like the idea that when I look up at the moon, I’m seeing the very same one that the first life looked upon.

Thank you Sue. It was bigger than usual here too. I read that a supermoon is 14% than an average full moon. I watched it with my telescope (and Saturn, Jupiter and the Galilean Moons).
