I would like us to be in the lunar business

NASA should revive its Institute for Advanced Concepts, a blue-skies idea mill that closed in 2007, says an expert panel – but it says the new incarnation should have its feet a little closer to the ground.

If MOND exists, it will appear as if there is an anomalous, "phantom" mass in that region, exerting a gravitational force on the bodies in our solar system.

According to Milgrom, this force should cause the orbits of the planets to precess - that is, their elliptical orbits around the sun should slowly change their orientation, over time tracing out a pattern like the petals of a flower.
