Sure, but

Technically in moon years which consist of 27 days, the moon would be in its own years it would be 60833333333.3 moon years old.

Not done This is the English WP. That would belong in the Moonise Wikipedia. O3000 (talk) 22:46, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Where the North Polar Star (or South) if on the sky the Moon.

On the straight line (or nearly) that is going nearly (or no) with straight line his diameter.

And once this time. The 5-th postulate of Evklid is not with needs. If the 2-nd line was no stright - where they?

Semi-protected edit request on 3 June 2020

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Moon. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

In paragraph 1 of this article it states the following "The Moon is an astronomical body orbiting Earth as its only natural satellite. It is the fifth-largest satellite in the Solar System, and by far[13] the largest among planetary satellites relative to the size of the planet that it orbits (its primary)." However, the statement regarding the size of the Moon in relation to Earth is incorrect. The largest natural satellite in the solar system of any planetary body is Charon, the largest of Pluto's moons. The argument from many will be that Pluto was demoted to Dwarf planet status, regardless of one's perspective on nthis, the fact is that Charon is a natural satellite of a planetary body, Pluto is not an asteroid, it is a body that orbits the Sun independent of other bodies except those it holds in a gravitational embrass. Could someone, as I do not appear to have access to do this, correct the line so it reads " The Moon is the second largest natural satellite of ny planetary body in the solar system, only suppassed by Charon, Pluto's largest Moon"

Here is a link to a Space.com article on the subject where it discusses the 40th anniversary of the Discovery of Charon by James Christy of the USNO.
