Well, when I first noticed the Moon's "phases" I thought the moon was breaking apart and reforming, so I can totally buy it being a damaged celestial body that manages to keep it's "chunks" in an orbit that lines up with it's rotation; and by extension, that it only broke up "recently", geologically speaking.

Funnily enough, we do have another piece of outside-the-show evidence for the breaking of the moon being a "recent" event(say, within the last few hundred years): The Animating the Rooster Teeth Way Panel w/ Monty and Jordan. Here Monty mentions two important things; What the moon is like now; and why the moon is the way it is - namely, that we will find out the why of the moon's nature latter in the series.

I can't help but imagine the event that shattered the is plot-relevant on some level from that alone. It may have some relation to the Grimm; or maybe, yes, it is causing ecological disasters on Remnant. I don't know, but I look forward to finding out.

In the mean time, I really enjoyed the theorizing on these blogs of yours, Advocate.
