This Day in This Blog's History: Does the Moon Have Gravity?

I've decided to start a weekly Friday theme that I've titled "This Day in This Blog's History".  Each Friday there will be a post summing up a prior science misconception that I've discussed on this blog.  Today's This Day in This Blog's History....does the Moon have gravity?

To sum it up, there's a misconception that the Moon has no gravity.  However, that is completely false.  Any object with mass has gravity, including you and me.  It's just a matter of how small that gravity is.  On the Moon it's about 6 times weaker than gravity on Earth, but it's not zero.

For full details read the original blog post.
