Have you ever looked at the Moon and felt like it was getting smaller? In this episode of The Curiosity Well, I’m breaking down the startling reality of lunar recession and why our oldest cosmic companion is slowly "ghosting" Earth.
I dive into the mechanics of tidal acceleration, explaining how our own oceans are acting as a gravitational slingshot, pushing the Moon away at about 3.8cm per year. We’ll explore the high-stakes consequences of this departure.
