Orbit of the Moon

Our moon is interesting.

My favorite part (emphasis mine):

Conservation of angular momentum means that Earth's axial rotation is gradually slowing, and because of this its day lengthens by approximately 24 microseconds every year (excluding glacial rebound). Both figures are valid only for the current configuration of the continents.

If that changes suddenly, we'll have to do the math again, lol.
