More issues with the Moon

Look at this. This is the monthly rotation of the moon.

It is not rotating it is wobbling.
This is a magnetic effect.

Lunar Lightning Strikes

I have noticed and have blogged before about this.
Spacecraft Clementine produced these pictures of the moon. I notice there are far more craters on the poles then there were on the equators.

There are craters on top of craters. This model asserts these are polar lightning from the sun. Almost all of these craters are approximately circular in nature. This would not be the case with solid rock hitting the moon. There are interesting craters that have higher reflective ejecta patterns. But these are few.

These are high energy lightning strikes. From the sun.

Other planetoids and asteroids show a similar issue. Large circular craters at the poles and elliptical gouges with with high alblito.

Moon's motion through the Earth's Magnetosphere

I hold two models of the moon's motion. Both models require the Earth's Magnetosphere. I am moving from model one to model two because of the phases of the moon and the solar eclipses.

1) The moon is in the tail of the magnetosphere. As the Earth moves around the sun the magnetosphere pushes back the dark matter creating a bubble and ending in a tail. The denser side of the moon which always faces the earth is moving within this tail. This is like drafting in car racing. As the dark matter returns to its normal shape as the earth passes.

But this model has some issues and solves some issues.

Issues it solves. Tides. the tides occur every 12.5 hours. This would account for a small wobble in the moon's motion that causes this tidal force. Every 12.5 hours the moon is closer to the earth causing a high tide and every 12.5 hours the moon is further away causing a low tide.

Issues it creates. This model cannot allow for solar eclipses or phases of the moon.

I now think this is more like what is happening.
2) The moon is moving around the earth in its magnetosphere. Much like what is already known. But the face of the moon is always facing the earth. This would be caused if the moon is acting like a top. The more dense face points to the earth and the moon slightly rotates around the axis. This would allow for a small magnetic field for the moon. Other moons in the solar system follow this model. The moons of mars and the inner 4 moons of Jupiter do not rotate in relation to the observer on the planet. But they do rotate like a top.

Issues this model solves: The phases and eclipses.
Issues this model creates: It leave open how the tide work. This will still need to be examined.

I think the moon uses the second model in motion. This changes my original model of how the moon moves.

As I find citations to ideas I have had I will add them to the blog. If there are disproofs of ideas I have had I will also add them to the topic.

As the solar wind flows from the sun, it carves out a bubble in the interstellar medium.

The face of the moon

Why does the one face of the moon always point to the earth? I think it is because that side of the moon is more dense and is falling faster than the back side.

I am going to think about that!!!

Another Lunar Issue

I have been thinking about how Density(gravity) affects the Earth. We know that the tides are caused by the moon's Density(gravitational) effect on the Earth. The tidal period is 12h 25.2m, 1/2 of a tidal day.

An intuitive knowledge of physics, states that if the moon is closest to the Earth every other 12h 25.2m then we would see a high tide at those intervals. This means that the moon falls towards the sun every other 12h 25.2m also.

I think the sun and the earth are interacting on the moon. This can only occur if the moon is trailing the earth. With the earth moving around the sun, the earth's magnetic field creates a teardrop shape in the dark matter. As the dark matter is returning to equilibrium against the sun's alpha particles, the moon would be trailing in the tail of this teardrop. This 12h 25.2m period is the time it takes to move from one side of the tail to the other.

The moon does not actually orbit the cross-section of the teardrop tail in a elliptical orbit. It never goes above the focus that is on the plane with the sun.(well it goes slightly above the focus). There are 2 focii that account for this behavior. One is on the sun side of the tail furthest from the earth. The other is on the opposite side of the sun but is closest to the earth. This path is the lunar tidal period.

The moon moves kinda like a snowboarder in a 1/2 pipe run. This is inline with Peter Duffett-Smith's description of the lunar orbit of the sun.

"A celestial observer viewing the solar system from a great distance would not, however see the Moon making loops in space about the Earth. Rather, he would describe the situation by saying that the Moon is in orbit around the Sun, as is the Earth, and that the effect of the Earth's influence is to make the Moon's orbit wiggle a little as the relative positions of the Earth and Moon change. This is because the Sun's Gravitation force on the Moon is much greater than that of the Earth, even though the latter is nearer. "

Addendum: 4/29/09 : Predictions. I have been asked to make some predictions in my model. But this is a big one. The Moon follows the Earth as described above.

N-body problem and the Moon

The Earth Moon Sun gravitational relationship is a n-body problem. It is not a series of 2 body problems. This problem has stumped me since I was 11. I did not realize then that this was considered an impossible problem to solve. What really frustrates me is that the universe solves this problem so effortlessly. Its like an elegant ballet.

The general 2 body problem is F = -m₁m₂G / r^2

The problem I have with many n-body attempts continue the linear solution. Solve one set of 2 body problems and continue this until particle positions/velocities/... all have been solve. The problem here is that it never works.

Here is the reason why. Most of the solutions always return to a series of 2-d problems. The universe is at least 4-d. And Gravity is a function of density.

The best/most correct/closest solution I have found is that by Peter Duffet-Smith. His book "Practical Astronomy with your Calculator" has follow me most of my life. In this book he describes the moon's orbit.
"A celestial observer viewing the solar system from a great distance would not, however see the Moon making loops in space about the Earth.

This is because the Sun's Gravitation force on the Moon is much greater than that of the Earth, even though the latter is nearer. "

This is a brilliant book. He should get a Nobel Prize just for that paragraph. And he is correct. Please buy his book. He even has great calculations to prove his theory. He needs to be planted firmly in the lexicon of great physicists.

Lunar orbit precession issue

If the moon orbits the earth every 28 days, the effect of gravity would cause tremendous precession on the night sky. Every 14 days the sky would move forward and every 14 days it would move backwards. Because the masses of the objects are such the precession would be more than noticeable. The two massive objects would be in jeopardy of collision.

I know how the moon moves with the earth. I just need to get it out. I have an idea on how to describe it.

I will have it out in a couple of days.
