Met Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood a few weeks ago before they opened his new bar.
Met Justice Alito and some other prominent politicians. ...

the moon is tidally locked (because physics), so the same side always faces us. same story with mercury and the sun or other bodies in similar orbital arrangements.
i think our axial tilt causes the craters appear to rotate, but i'm not sure about that....

WWII Question - Truk Lagoon

I'm re-reading Ian Toll's "The Conquering Tide", and I was confused as to why the Japanese didn't evacuate all ships from Truk Lagoon when they moved their heavy warships out. Toll said the Japanese intercepted radio traffic indicating an attack was imminent and had seen two recon flights by navy b...
