When I left for work the other day the moon was out.

We know a lot about the moon. We know exactly how far it is from the center of the earth at any given point in its orbit.  We know how fast it moves.  We know what it’s made of and how it affects things here on Earth.  Probes have landed on it or crashed into it.  People have walked on it and brought back chunks of it for us to study.
