Weird Moon: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'' episode "Ship Ahoax". When Ginger tells Gilligan's fortune, she says to look for a ship when "the moon is blue". Sure enough, that night the moon is colored blue and a ship passes by the island.

* In ''[[Terra Nova]]'', the moon is shown to be huge. It's 85 million years in the past, which, as they explain, means the moon is closer and looks bigger; but this doesn't quite work. The moon would have been about 3,000 kilometers closer...that's less than one percent of its current average distance, around 380,000 kilometers. The moon's distance varies by nearly 40,000 km ''every month'' due to its eccentric orbit. To a normal person, the moon 85 million years ago would have looked exactly the same.
