The moon is a far greater source of energy than what Earth has, even before we started burning fossil fuels. In the moon's regolith, there's an abundance of 3He, or helium isotope, which is the ideal fuel for fusion power.
Russians are preparing a telescope which travells in space ,this is the first one ,who ever prepared.This is used to find 'Second Earth'.This principle is the gravitational pull of the planet on its Sun's light.
I like to know these things also but I find it difficult to find it all from one source.
