If the Moon were severely damaged, to the point that there was a chunk of it missing, what would the results be?

Would the fragments form a ring around the Earth, or would they remain anchored in the Moon's limited gravity?

Take out a big enough chunk of the moon and it will probably return to roundness eventually.

As for the missing chunk, that depends where it is and how fast it's going.

They would gradually disperse along its orbital path

That would be over millions of years, if I understand things rightly.

So, something like a small asteroid belt around the sun?

More like how Jupiter has the Trojans and Greeks.

If the moon were damaged in this manner, how much collateral damage would the Earth suffer?

It would fuck with the tides, probably nothing else

If you were critically injured, to the point that you were bleeding, what would the results be?

Your question isn't very precise, is it?

More like a century or two, tops. Humanity would send demolition teams to smooth out the non-round parts.

Wouldn't it be cool if Earth had rings?

Earth will have a ring of space junk, if anything.
>>
>>9172446
Thats not how rings work. The gas giants have rings because of a single object that was captured by their gravity has been pulverized and left chunks around its singular orbit. Space junk doesnt come from a singular source, nor is it limited to any specific orbit. Space junk makes more of a cloud or sphere than a ring.
