Patches of water ice on opposite ends of the earth’s moon indicate that Earth’s orbiting companion once spun on a differing axis as per a study released on 23rd March. This 6 degree title happened several billion years ago. It was mostly used by ancient volcanic rock formation on the Moon’s heart side. Team led by M Siegler of the Planetary science Institute in Tucson Arizona has termed this the Moon’s “polar wander.”
