20 Times the Moon Did Something Scientists Didn’t Expect

Subtle but measurable — the Moon’s path wobbled by a fraction, too small for tidal math to explain. No asteroid, no gravitational resonance, no clear culprit. For all our data, the cause remains a blank line in the equations. Even now, the Moon moves to rhythms older than prediction — a partner in an endless, unpredictable dance.

The anomaly forced scientists to recheck every model of Earth-Moon dynamics. Some mysteries, it seems, prefer to stay in motion.
