In 1953, astronomers spotted a puzzling light on the Moon. It turned out to be a naturally occurring spotlight caused by an impact on the lunar surface. When a space rock struck, it exposed a fresh layer of moon dust that reflected sunlight exceptionally well. Did you know that the Moon is Earth's closest celestial neighbor, about 238,855 miles away? The Moon doesn't have a breathable atmosphere, which means there's no air or weather like we have on Earth. Its gravity is only about 1/6th of Earth's, which makes astronauts appear to float when they're there. The Moon has a mysterious dark side, which isn't always dark, but it's never visible from Earth due to synchronous rotation. So, not only does the Moon light up our nights, but it also has its share of mysteries and peculiarities. 🌔🌌🚀 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
