On July 9, 22, and August 5, 2025, the Moon will be farthest from Earth’s equator, shifting its gravitational effect on Earth’s axis and altering rotation speed. Earth is set to mark Wednesday, July 9, as the shortest day ever recorded, with similar short days anticipated on July 22 and August 5, 2025.

Thanks, Judy. Your intriguing post made me want to know more. Apparently this phenomenon has been going on for some time–and will affect things like GPS and satellite networks. Small ripples with large impact! https://dailygalaxy.com/2025/06/earths-rotation-just-hit-a-new-record-heres-what-that-means-for-us/

I guess it doesn’t mean the moon will have a super powerful gravitational pull and disperse our government into galactic space?

We need something intragalactic. Move them to another reality? An alternate universe? What a mean thing to do but what a relief it would be.
