indeed. it's true. it seems that the tidal bulge has been widening or stretching the moon's orbit for thousands of years, making it farther and farther away each year, so that eventually the moon's orbit will be so long, it would take 47 of our 24-hr days until we saw the moon again (thus, the time between "nights" would be 47 of our current days!)
wowza, batman!
