We think of the moon as orbiting the earth, following a spiraling trajectory as the earth itself orbits the sun. But this is wrong. Not only is the moon's orbit NOT a spiral... there's an argument that the moon actually orbits the sun, not the earth! The moon's trajectory is more like a 12-sided polygon with curved corners than it is a spiral or even a wiggly line.
"Show me the country where the bombs had to fall / Show me the ruins of buildings once so tall / And I'll show you a young land with so many reasons why / There but for fortune, go you and I -- you and I."
Joan Baez - "There But for Fortune" (ca. 1965), written by Phil Ochs
