HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED HOW MOONS ARE FORMED?
THE SLINGSHOT THEORY is about the formation of many of our solar system's moons. It explains why so many moons have similar characteristics, including a single, super-sized crater on the leading•face of the Moon's orbit. And why all of these moons, including Earth's, share a common feature; The same side of the moon always faces its host planet.
COULD THERE BE A UNIFYING THEORY TO EXPLAIN THESE PHENOMENA?
The Slingshot Theory - VOLUME 1 : MELP
VOLUME 1 takes a deep dive into the formative origins of Mars and its moon Phobos.
Why is the orbit of Phobos around Mars so low, so fast, so circular and so synchronous?
How did Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the solar system form on Mars?
What caused huge, mysterious layers of Aureoles Deposits to form radially around Olympus Mons - but an astonishing 500-700km away?
The Slingshot Theory - VOLUME 2: VUSS
VOLUME 2 spans the solar system to discover the origins of Venus - our backward spinning planet.
What caused Uranus spin on its side producing a fragmented, offset and tilted magnetic core?
Why is Venus' rotation retrograde, slow and non-synchronous?
How did 13,000 km of ridges and ruptures form around Artemis Corona - including the upward-flowing lava river "Baltis Vallis"?
John P. Rutherford discovered a passion for planetary science as an aside during his Engineering and Project Management career.
Since retiring early, he has developed a series collating recurring patterns observed across moons and planets throughout the solar system.
Aided by stunning imagery from NASA, JPL and ESA, he remains struck that the common patterns he has identified have not yet been more widely observed and corroborated.
