There's a huge amount of confusion between cause and effect there, too.
I thought the same thing. Seems like the events would have caused the earth's shift; not the shift causing the events.

I had a night shift yesterday / today, working at the Slovenian-Austrian border crossing in the refugee border camp. That was one of the best night shifts in the past years, the last train with refugees arrived around 11 PM and we checked those that needed help until 1 AM. Then I went to sleep and wasn't waken up even once until 7 AM when my shift ended. That was easily earned money and today I have a free day which we automatically get after a night shift. What's better than sleeping at work (it's allowed of course), getting better paid (night pays 150% better than day) and wake up refreshed to a free day!

WOO HOO, Lopov! I need to switch luck with you!

The moon is the leftovers from another planetary body that collided with the Earth in the early days of the universe. It was roughly a quarter the mass of the earth, and if it had been any larger its impact would have completely destroyed both it and the Earth. Instead it was annihilated, and the Earth barely held together. The Earth sucked up some of the leftover debris into itself, and what was left formed into today's Moon.
Wow, now that is something I didn't know! (Yes, I did take the class in high school; but it was mostly to be out at night in the dark on the roof of the conservatory making out with my boyfriend),
