I was wondering. Aren't there theories that hypothesise about the moon being a fraction of the earth ejected by some process? I have really no idea ^^ just wondering. Super interesting post!

Yep, that is true. But what I didn't really get into in my short summary is that the iron oxides are not evenly spread across the Moon (as you might expect if it was all from debris from the Earth) but are instead found in certain areas, and especially on the near side of the Moon. So this suggests it formed through some other process.

Long after the visible light from Star's has all gone supernovae there are still the Stars in the IR spectrum but they are no good to us.

And there are Black Holes that are far too big to have gotten that size in the amounts of time they've been around, so it's got to be in my opinion they are eating stuff from a seperate universe as nobody knows what is through the Event Horizon
