Re: Atmosphere on the Moon - A Study
In my mind, i cannot fathom how a body could have mass, but not attact an atmosphere. Is it breathable? Well...likely not on the near side. However, John has asserted that on the farside there exists enough atmosphere to make it breathable. Now...i am unsure if it would have enough O2 to keep the blood saturation high enough, or if the sodium levels (or other mineral) would not be somewhat toxic or uncomfortable to our respiratory system.
Now, i would tend to agree that if there is atmosphere, it would likely be on the farside, and it would tend to settle more into low lying areas and caves (gravity and all). I believe that the Earths magnetosphere is largely overlooked as causation for any of the anomolous findings, as well.
That being said, excellent info, Zorgon. Nice to have a place to stretch the old legs, huh?
