Old but, Beautiful

        While observing, I thought to myself, "howold the moon is?" Results were that the moon is over 4.5 billions year old but, still shining bright like diamond
This illustration shows the still-molten moon just after its formation about 4.5 billion years ago.

     I always wodered where the moon came from like a destroyed planet? Or even if was from an explosion that the sun caused. I always have so many questions like "Is the moons glow ever just going to go out?" Or just ram itself in to earth and leave nothing behind just a  extremely hot chunk of rock.Well I guess it's just a matter of when and where it's going to happen.

  1. I never thought about how old the moon really is. The moon is beautiful but sadly I realized I don't know much about it. I have the same question as you, how was the moon created ?

  2. I always wondered why the moon has like a rabbit inside playing with a ball, maybe it's just my imagination but it looks beautiful.

  3. Thats crazy that the moon is over 4.5 million years old! It just blows my mind! I always wondered why the moon glows, and what causes it to glow. Its crazy hoe much the moon has evolved. The picture of the moon looked like a big ball of lava, now the moon looks the complete opposite. Great job, this blog was very interesting.
