    That would have to be something about the size of Ceres ( dwarf planet between mars and Jupiter) to make that happen.

    and even then its extremely hard to overcome two negative charged things of a similar size (the moon is about 1/4 of the circumference of earth, and has a iron core...which is huge compared to the size of other moons and there host planets. ) wanting to push apart from each other.


    after all magnetic force is what keeps you from falling through the floor or being able to walk through walls.

    Cool photographs, and yeah, us U.S. people were all sleeping.

    i was just being a smart a$$. oh, and i DO believe we went to the moon.

    stop that! it makes me scared to think that the only thing holding the wheels on my truck is the magnetic bond between the atoms. i prefer to think of my axles as solid rather than mostly empty space and you are not helping me with that illusion.

    Totally random, but its hilarious.

    Funny part though?

    Cats looking through the star finder, and not the actual telescope....

    I was more just answering the question for anyone wondering. The cool thing is though, there are retroreflectors left on the moon, so you can shoot a laser up and it will bounce right back to you. You can measure the time it takes to get back to measure our distance from the moon. My grandpa has done it.
