The earth has no moon

But apparently we have a very close by planet, or a star.

The Moon is obviously a star – it starred at QVC

Cheers

It's a double planet system based on comparative masses.

When I was aged 5 or 6, I thought the moon during the day was "another Earth"
Just like the movie.

The Bright one at night was the moon. Later as School and as the Apollo program got going, I knew differently.

Anyone who has seen the movie "Star Wars" would know what it really is, and I believe it is almost fully operational.

Well, it aint that simple. We orbit a barycentre which happens to lie well beneath the earths crust. Many regard the earth/moon system as a double planet, but those yankee numb nuts come from planet dumb....

Scary to think they have the big red button isn't it??

Years ago I read a SciFi novel where the hero was a Lunairtharian' .. From the twin planets of Lunar and Earth. I think the twisted spelling 'air' was to confuse the reader and hide the secret till the last chapter.
One day maybe ... ?

when you view Earth and the Moon from Saturn it certainly appears as a 'binary system'

The answer is quite simple, all you have to do is look to the B52's for the answer.

"There's a Moon in the Sky and its called the Moon"

There's a Moon in the Sky - The B-52's - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej6T4VR11PM

She's probably hiding her face thinking:

1/ If I cant see them, they cant see me....

2/ If I cover my face they wont ask me and find out I don't know either...
3/ Both of the above
