This afternoon, NASA announced it has made an “exciting new discovery” about the moon, and what thrilling news that is! The core of the moon is composed of 34 separate pieces, and the areas surrounding these pieces vary in size between a negligible factor of hundredth or millionth. Moreover, some of these pieces are believed to be locked in permanent orbits, and if we were able to probe through the moon's crust we would see the imprints of vast structures in the form of permanent craters constrained by gravity.

Its hard to really quite write this one down since it is, in fact, millions of words long(´·ε′ˡ`), but the gist of it is this; in determining the density of the lunar sea, Bill Chybowski, chief scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPL), used the same analytical computer model used by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to determine the depths of the oceans on Earth, and the areas where only bacteria could exist. Using a leverage analysis he honed in on the morphology of the lunar crust when it is largely maintained in floating sheets such as the one at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Also, it is apparent that the crust is not where you'd expect it. The valleys of the tectonically active Fornax Mare, for example, are deep and stable. It looks weird, especially over a landscape that consists of fractured 23 mile long mountains, where flat plains are lacking in cohesive history, and dust storms blow so vigorously across the lonely landscape that they could direct one to argue if the grass there exists.
In portions of the lunar surface where the crater faces are scoured by the super thick dustets, the range in elevation ranges between 350 meters and 4,200 meters. During low tide, the waves indeed cause some movement when they break in and out on the shore, its most famous tidepool, Gadelha Banks, right next to the Chicxulub impact crater, is famous for its European species of coral reef.
Predicting the distribution of toilets throughout the entire twentieth century may hinder the search for extraterrestrial fecil life.
Existential threats await the moon. It has happened before. In 1933, the tractor �Oxygen Max� drove its blades through 3,124 percent excess sulfur within the Apollo 16 vacuum chamber NASA has built in Utah. Astronaut John Glenn rode aboard Apollo 16 to become the first human to orbit the earth.
