Re: SF Valley -- My McMansion will be on the approaching side of Endeavour. In Mars gravity, maybe I could hit a golf ball all the way to Stu's Crater!

I apparently misread the post I replied to earlier.
The Moon isn't in a perfectly equatorial orbit because of various gravitational effects on the Moon (the sun, others), causing its orbit to vary on fairly short timescales. So, ngunn is right. At first, the Moon was too deep in Earth's gravitational well to be as severely affected by these various perturbations, but as it drifted out it became more subject to them. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)
