The Hanging Rock is a block of a large chipping stone that broke off thousands of years ago and hangs on the edge of a kilometer-long abyss above the Rainbow Lake.

If Earth didnt have moon A day on Earth would be much, much shorter; only about 6-to-8 hours.

That's because the moon's tidal friction slows the earth's rotation gradually. So, if there never was a moon, earth's rotation would've been 3-4 times faster than what is it now, so our days would be shorter. So, there would be 1000-1400 days in a year. Our axis's tilt would differ widely over time.

Hubbub, in collaboration with commonworks, came up with an exceptional solution to do their part on preserving the environment.

The organization took action and placed big panels that serve as voting ashtray containers in London’s public spaces. They massively improved litter pollution!
