Moon Trivia:
NASA: "Because the moon has less mass than Earth, the force due to gravity at the lunar surface is only about 1/6 of that on Earth. Thus, a person standing on the moon would feel as if his or her weight had decreased by 5/6. And if that person dropped a rock, the rock would fall to the surface much more slowly than the same rock would fall to Earth."
The portion of the Moon that we see depends on where the Moon is in its orbit around Earth. It doesn't really lose its shape as it appears to have done in the above photo.
Now isn't this more fun than politics? NO?
