saw someone say that the moon is made of selenium and augh no

selenium is named after the moon but has nothing to do with it, just like how uranus isn't made of uranium and pluto isn't made of plutonium

the moon is made of much the same stuff that the earth is made of, which is actually really interesting and evidence that the moon used to be part of the earth

it has no more selenium than the earth does

@Felthry The sun is entirely made of Sunny Delight

@Felthry Uranus and Pluto would probably be rather different if that was the case...

@windyorigami I doubt they'd exist! And an explosion that big would probably not be good for any other planets in the same solar system.

@Felthry and Mercury would probably be a rapidly expanding cloud of mercury vapor!

@windyorigami I guess earth would be a ball of toxic, horrendously stinky tellurium.

@windyorigami I remember reading that Venus is thought to possibly have lakes of liquid mercury, which is somewhat interesting
