The Moon Cracking
So I saw a bunch of stupid unscientific articles that say they discovered a crack getting bigger on the moon. I am 98% percent it's obvious bull****, but there's probably *something* that triggered this fake news. I was hoping someone would know.

Seems the closest to a decent article on it. The moon either has some tectonic events due to magma, or the caverns inside of it are slowly collapsing due to a lack of magma causing the moon to shrink.

Re: The Moon Cracking
That's pretty cool. So basically the moon is collapsing on itself for whatever it can collapse on its; pockets of nonrocks existing within the celestial body getting displaced, and the overall body is now denser.

Re: The Moon Cracking
A quick search reveals mostly old articles that are really about scientists and NASA being aware of cracks in the moon due to cooling and past tectonic activity.
The only recent exception I could readily see is one Indian "news" site that seems more interested in sensational claims than actual news - where the headline mentions an expanding crack, but the following article has nothing of the sort and is merely the shrinking moon ideas again.
So, there doesn't appear to be anything that's changed recently, and I don't really see any claims or news about the moon cracking anyway. What did you see that grabbed your attention?

Re: The Moon Cracking
I know there's a rift on the moon called the Rima Ariadaeus that kind of looks like the moon is cracking when looked at from the correct angle

Re: The Moon Cracking
A barbarian with a magic sword (bit like a lightsaber), a hulking catlike person (who is easily amused but smarter than you think) and a slightly bitchy sorceress (of Asian extraction) and one sane woman. The world is ruined and overrun by wizards who use magic and superhigh tech (Think Girl Genius with actually magic spells). A wonderful romp. A lot of character designs and other stuff by the great Jack Kirby. Good grief stumbled on a Thundarr the Barbarian RPG.

For an 80's toy commercial, I'm surprised how complex - and dark - Thundarr's worldbuilding backstory is.
