Antimoon Friday 12th July 2019!

I was listening to a programme called 'The Curious Cases of Rutherford & Fry' and they were talking about 'The Heart of the Antimatter', and said that theoretically there should be Antiplanets and even an Antiuniverse! But what is antimatter?

Well, everything is made up of matter, including the Moon! Matter is made up of atoms which are made up of neutrons, positive protons and negative electrons. Antimatter is the opposite - neutrons, negative protons and positive electrons. (Neutrons are neutral - but are they positive neutral or negative neutral?!...)

In theory the Big Bang should have created as much anti-matter as matter but although we can make anti-matter in the lab we can't find any naturally occurring anti-matter. Maybe just as well because if a matter object meets an antimatter object, they would annihilate each other leaving a massive radiation blob.

So in theory there should be somewhere an Anti-Earth with an Anti-Moon! Maybe it would look something like this:

Time 06:43.
Distance 233,594 miles.
Waning gibbous phase.
225 degrees SW compass point (azimuth).
Altitude 51.6 degrees.
