abstract
| - The Smoon, consisting of one large Tectonic plate is an extinct volcano (possibly erupted/ejected from the surface of Mars and caught in the Earth's gravitational field) comprised mainly of volanic basalt, unlike the Moon, which geologists think is primarily cheese. The northern part is partly formed of limestein marine carbonates and the southern section is formed of chalk and sandstone sediments derived from strong atmospheric winds that exist on the surface of the Smoon. It was this difference between the Smoon and Moon that derived the phrase Chalk and Cheese to describe the fundamental geological differences between the two. With cheese and chalk giving different spectral signatures, this is currently the only method to find / distinguish between the two satellites. No water exists on the surface and craters are abundant, thought to be where underground cave systems exist and have subsequently collapsed to form large circular depressions.Matt Orenstein once landed on the Smoon in an attempt to hijack it, so he could hurl it at the Nesquick Factory in eastern Nevada. There are two sides to the Smoon, however, one of which (the Dark Side) is never seen from Earth as it is always facing away to the sun. For this reason, the consistent solar energy received on the surface has been enough to melt the rock and turn the back of this minor planet into a firey ball resembling the sun, which confuses those living on both Venus and Mars. The Front Side however is always in the Sun's shadow and hence it is often invisible to viewers on Earth and much cooler, forming solid rock. It is this physical difference between the solid and molten-liquid sides that creates the tides back on Earth.
