Drew Olbrich has one of his pages on digg. The page in the digg post shows an accurate picture of the distance between the Earth and the moon. Drew writes:
Usually when you see wacky space pictures, the Moon is unrealistically close to the Earth. What’s up with that?
I wanted to get a better sense of exactly how the Earth and Moon would appear from an observer in space.
The picture that Drew made is impressive. In a single image you can get a feel for the vast distance between us and the moon, as well as how small the moon really is compared to Earth.
Although greatly smaller the moon is surprisingly dense at 1/4 of our mass. Much greater than Venus or Mars
One more excellent tidbit of information for me to pack into my brain. Perhaps one day it may be as massive (but far more dense) than the moon.
There’s another thing to get me thinking. How does the brain actually store information? Is it all electrical, or do brain cells change shape or connect with different brain cells as more memories and information are gathered from the outside world? I’ll have to find out.
