Why is the Moon escaping from Earth, and where is it moving? In this video, we explore the real science behind the Moon’s slow escape, from its violent birth after the Theia impact to the tidal forces that have been pushing it farther away for 4.5 billion years. Using Apollo laser measurements, fossil coral evidence, tidal physics, and the future of Earth’s oceans, this documentary explains why the Moon drifts away by 1.5 inches per year, how that affects the length of our day, and why total solar eclipses will not last forever. If you love space, astronomy, lunar science, and deep-time cosmic stories, this is one of the strangest facts about the Earth-Moon system. -- DISCUSSIONS & SOCIAL MEDIA Commercial Purposes: insanecuriositybusiness@gmail.com Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@insanecuriosity Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/insanecuriosity Instagram: https://instagram.com/insanecuriositythereal Twitter: https://twitter.com/insanecurio Facebook: https://facebook.com/InsaneCuri
