    Yeah but the one time (we think we know of) that we collided with another planet, the moon didn’t even show up until just after. Fucking slacker.

    And ever since then, it’s been edging farther and farther away, like it has better things to do than take meteors to the face for us (and asteroids to the ass). We need some sort of tether or leash to keep it where it is.

    Which just happens to be when it’s the same apparent size as the sun, a lucky coincidence for anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing one, because this might be the only place in the entire galaxy where such a thing even happens.
