many moons ago . . .

The Moon


How old is the moon? The moon is indeed very old. It is older than any of the planets of our galaxy. How, you may ask? Because in the life of planets, when they are born and they grow and contract. This is a planet that has possibly grown the full length of it’s time until it was bombarded by outside forces and then through the very long years lost it’s core and began to shrink to nothingness. Could it be that this moon was once relatively the size of our planet earth in it’s day – a day when it was filled with life? It is something to ponder.


The next question would be, would it have come from or be as old as when sagittarious collided with it’s former glactic rival, or was it from when our milky way collided with it’s other dwarf galaxies? And then, how far back? One, Two, Three generations? It is curious. I’m not sure I can figure it out. Im not good with puzzles. I will think on this more. How old is the moon?


Many Moons ago . . . hence the phrase. Do you suppose someone on earth figured out how many moons ago there have been? I think not. I think they had figured out that there must’ve been many, but maybe so seemingly infinate that it would maybe be too many to count or to calculate. Of course the expression is usually thought of as meaning many full moons or processions of moons ago. But then I guess it could be a double meaning phrase. Wild isnt it!

In the generations of the life of a planet, we can count at least two, I think, for our moon, from the time that it once prob harbored life. Of course that’s just a guess : )
