The Earth doesn't orbit the Moon, and the Moon doesn't orbit the Earth. They both orbit their common barycenter (center of mass)!

Earthrise, captured by the Japanese spacecraft Kaguya from lunar orbit 🌏 Such a "rise" can only be filmed from orbit, because from the lunar surface, Earth always remains in roughly the same spot in the sky. This is because the Moon always faces Earth with the same side due to tidal locking. The video is sped up.

A single 93km solar array in orbit would generate as much electricity as every country on earth combined. The future of industry is in orbit.

I spy with my little lander, a Moon in the distance. Check out Blue Ghost's amazing view of Earth eclipsing the Moon as the lander travels on orbit. Our #GhostRiders can't wait to share more postcard worthy moments as we continue on our roadtrip. #BGM1

Earth + Theia = MOON Once upon a time — about 4.5 billion years ago — Earth wasn't alone. A rogue planet, Theia, nearly the size of Mars, smashed into it at full speed. The result? A fiery collision that could have created the Moon in just a FEW HOURS, not the millennia previously thought. NASA supercomputer simulations show that the Moon wasn't pieced together from space debris, but was instantly born from molten fragments of Earth and Theia thrown into orbit. That's why the Moon is so similar to Earth — it's not just a satellite, it's a sister.

🪨 Real footage captured by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft near the surface of the near-Earth asteroid Bennu! The spacecraft visited the asteroid to refine the calculation of its orbit through the year 2300 and to collect surface samples. 🛰️☝️ Refining Bennu's orbit revealed that a collision with Earth could occur on September 24, 2182, with a probability of 0.04%.

Just in case this wasn't obvious... 😋 The Moon is visible at night (and day) due to sunlight reflecting off its surface. Our position on Earth and the Moon's location in its orbit around our planet determine its phase. 1/

I want to believe, but there's too much evidence that not only tells me but shows me that they lied. I feel like low Earth orbit is as far as we can go... 1. The van Allen radiation belt. 2. The disgusted, unexciting, ashamed post moon landing conference with the three astronauts. Their body language, mannerisms, and answers scream that they're lying. 3. The lack of noise of the jet engines in the "videos." 4. How did they get the lunar rover on the spaceship? 5. No craters or dust underneath the spaceship. 6. How did the film the spaceship take off perfectly if nobody was left on the moon to operate the camera, and how was it so perfect if there was a delay? 7. The rockets and the spaceship look like a model. 8. The video of them saying that they are 130,000 miles away from Earth when all they really did was cover up the windows when they are in low earth orbit and film a small portion of Earth from low Earth orbit to simulate that they were far away, but then you find out that they're only in low Earth orbit when they uncover the windows. (Shown in the video below) 9. How we have to redesign the space suits to be able to handle the atmosphere on the moon. 10. The lack of talk and missions to the moon ever since. 11. The numerous blacked out photos from NASA. 12. How an older smartphone has way more technology than the entire spaceship back in 1969, and how we were able to even communicate with them in the spaceship as the one astronaut who passed away before the moon launch specified that they had trouble communicating between buildings and the shuttle on the ground. 13. Not one single astronaut would put their hand on the Bible and say they went to the moon. Why? 14. All the CGI and bubbles caught on NASA videos. 15. All the green screen captures and astronauts on wires in the "shuttle" and on the "ISS." There are so many bloopers and outtakes of astronauts and shuttle hatches malfunctioning, people appearing in the background of videos of the shuttle, people fading in and out, I could go on forever... How would you convince me against the evidence or prove me wrong from the arguments that I have provided?
