As you read this, the Moon is moving away from us. Each year, the Moon steals some of Earth's rotational energy, and uses it to propel itself about 3.8 centimeters higher in its orbit. Researchers say that when it formed, the Moon was about 14,000 miles (22,530 kilometers) from Earth. It's now more than 280,000 miles, or 450,000 kilometers away.
i have found this text in a page. i knew it before reading it, but i wasn;t sure of it. now i am.
that means the in some years(i dont really know how many), there wont be total solar eclipses any more.
now the realation with celestia:
is it possible to make this effect in celestia??? maybe by usinga xyz to the moon, and not an normal orbit.
