  1. Well educate me on how I wasn't right then. My take on this is if the Moon felt the Suns gravity more than the Earths then it would soon be ripped away (This is the upper Roche limit if I'm correct) So since it's in a stable orbit around the Earth, then it feels the Earths gravity the most. Cruithne on the other hand isn't in a stable orbit around the Earth. The Sun has the greater gravitational influence on it. I was merely pointing out these differences.
  2. But the moon and Cruithne are different. Obviously the moons is mostly effected by the Earth's gravity, whereas Cruithne is mostly effected by the Sun's gravity.
  3. Actually do you have any articles on those proofs? I've had plenty of arguments on this, and I can never think of anything that proves that the speed of light is constant.
  4. Can't you just use Newton for this? (to a good approximation) Just work out at what point the moons gravity is larger than the suns gravity and you have the point of perturbation. I know it's rough, but its a start and it doesn't have you dealing with the three body problem
  5. First post here, but I think I have the hang of this whole science thing There are five points in space (at least that I can remember) where the gravitational pull of earth and moon cancel each other out. So at these points, yes the earths gravitational pull will correct for it. Anywhere else though, no you need rockets to correct for this.
