The Moon is a satellite of our planet, which is a rather unusual space object, and even the study of it by automatic stations and the landing of astronauts on the surface of this cosmic body did not diminish its mystery. The mysteries of the Moon, the latest data about which are constantly updated, are not only among astronomers, but also ufologists, amateur astronomers and individuals interested in everything mysterious. And if various hypotheses are proposed to explain mysterious observations and incomprehensible phenomena, then some observed paradoxes cannot be explained scientifically, logically, or paranormally.
Moon - riddles and hypotheses
The mystery of some types of “moonquakes” has not been solved to this day. Due to the lack of magmatic activity on our satellite, ground vibrations caused by volcanic activity or seismic activity should not be observed. However, an explanation has been found for three types of “moonquakes”:
- tremors caused by the fall of meteorites, small asteroids and other space “junk”;
- soil vibrations caused by external gravitational influences leading to deep movements of lunar layers;
- thermal shocks arising due to a sharp temperature change caused by the thermal energy of the Sun.
However, according to NASA, a fourth type of oscillation is observed on the satellite of our planet - “moonquakes” with an amplitude of up to 5 points on the Richter scale. Their duration can reach tens of minutes, and no explanation has been found for them. American astronauts observed this phenomenon during one of the landings on the Moon, and, according to their feelings, “... the Moon was ringing like a church bell.”
A mysterious substance, the origin of which has been the subject of several hypotheses, is lunar dust. Organoleptically it resembles extremely abrasive wholemeal. According to the observations of American astronauts, due to the reduced gravitational field, dust is highly fluid, tends to fill any fold, and upon contact with the human body causes a mysterious disease, which was dubbed “moon fever.” Due to its abrasiveness and stickiness, it caused concern among astronauts that it could destroy the boots of their spacesuits during prolonged walking.
The topic of the presence of unidentified objects on the surface of the Moon, which they explain as traces of the activities of extraterrestrial civilizations or structures left by aliens, is always relevant and popular among ufologists and lovers of paranormal phenomena. A favorite subject of discussion are the lunar pyramids - structures of the correct geometric shape, which quite accurately imitate their terrestrial counterparts. There is a lot of information about the observation of unidentified flying objects spotted near the surface of our satellite. Some ufologists observed an architectural structure in the form of a castle floating above the lunar surface. But the most striking thing in these observations is not the very fact of discovering incomprehensible objects - ufologists have a rich imagination, and you never know what you might see after many hours of looking through a telescope. Neither the NASA specialists who launched the Apollo mission to the Moon, nor the Russian scientists who explored the Earth’s satellite using the automatic stations “Luna” and “Lunokhods” in any way refute or comment on these observations. In addition, the Moon, the mysteries and hypotheses about which have at least some explanation, gives researchers a lot of reasons to think about those phenomena that, at the current level of development of science, cannot be clearly substantiated.
Unsolved mysteries of our satellite
The main mystery, which is of great interest to all inquisitive non-professional researchers of the Moon, is hidden not on it, but on our planet. Why, after intensive research carried out in the 60s and 70s of the last century, were they frozen for almost half a century? In his book, the famous American astronomer Carl Sagan believes that a cave with a volume of 100 cubic kilometers discovered on the Moon during its research is a cavity of artificial origin, intended for the life and development of alien creatures. And the alleged contact with them led to a ban on studying our satellite.
At the same time, the mysteries of the Moon, the latest data about which are no less paradoxical, are intriguing and raise a number of questions:
- it is not clear why expensive programs for studying deep space are needed when most of the lunar mysteries have not been solved;
- why, while obtaining beautiful photographs of the rings of Saturn or the surface of Pluto, there are no high-resolution photographs of the lunar surface;
- If an American and Russian spy satellite is able to “read” a newspaper editorial, why don’t similar spacecraft explore anomalous structures and formations on the Moon with the same accuracy.
Back in the 1960s, Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov from the USSR Academy of Sciences put forward the hypothesis that in reality our satellite was created artificially.
This hypothesis has eight main postulates, popularly called “riddles,” which analyze some of the most surprising aspects about the satellite.
Because of the question of time and scientific precision, we will set aside most speculation regarding the nature of the luminary in order to concentrate on specific dilemmas that continue to remain mysteries in modern science.
In fact, the orbit of motion and the size of the moon's satellite are physically almost impossible. If this were natural, one could argue that this is an extremely strange “whim” of the cosmos. This is due to the fact that the size of the Moon is equal to a quarter of the size of the Earth, and the ratio of the sizes of the satellite and the planet is always many times smaller.
The distance from the Moon to the Earth is such that the sizes of the Sun and Moon are visually the same. This allows us to observe this a rare event, like a total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely covers the Sun. The same mathematical impossibility holds for the masses of both celestial bodies.
If the Moon were a body that at some point was attracted by the Earth and found a natural orbit, then it would be expected that this orbit should be elliptical. Instead, it is strikingly round.
The second mystery of the Moon: the incredible curvature of the Moon's surface
The incredible curvature that the Moon's surface exhibits is inexplicable. There is no moon round body. The results of geological studies lead to the conclusion that this planetoid is actually a hollow ball. Although it is such, scientists still cannot explain how the Moon can have such a strange structure without being destroyed.
One explanation proposed by the above-mentioned scientists is that the lunar crust was made of a solid titanium frame. Indeed, the lunar crust and rocks have been shown to have extraordinary levels of titanium. According to Russian scientists Vasin and Shcherbakov, the thickness of the titanium layer is 30 km.
The third mystery of the Moon: lunar craters
Explanation of availability huge amount meteorite craters on the surface of the Moon is widely known - the absence of an atmosphere. Most cosmic bodies that try to penetrate Earth encounter kilometers of atmosphere on their way, and it all ends with the “aggressor” disintegrating.
The Moon has no ability to protect its surface from the scars left by all the meteorites crashing into it - craters of all sizes. What remains unexplained is the shallow depth to which the aforementioned bodies were able to penetrate. It really looks as if a layer of extremely durable material prevented meteorites from penetrating into the center of the satellite.
Even craters with a diameter of 150 kilometers do not exceed 4 kilometers deep into the Moon. This feature is inexplicable from the point of view of normal observations that there should be craters at least 50 km deep.
The fourth mystery of the Moon: “lunar seas”
How were the so-called “lunar seas” formed? These gigantic areas of solid lava, which originate from the interior of the Moon, could easily be explained if the Moon were a hot planet with a liquid interior, where they could arise from meteorite impacts. But physically, it is much more likely that the Moon, judging by its size, has always been a cold body. Another mystery is the location of the “lunar seas”. Why are 80% of them on the visible side of the Moon?
The fifth mystery of the Moon: mascons
The gravitational attraction on the surface of the moon is not uniform. This effect had already been noted by the crew of Apollo VIII when it flew around the lunar sea zones. Mascones (from "Mass Concentration" - mass concentration) are places where matter is believed to exist at a higher density or in large quantities. This phenomenon is closely related to the lunar seas, since the mascons are located under them.
The sixth mystery of the Moon: geographic asymmetry
A rather shocking fact in science, which still cannot be explained, is the geographic asymmetry of the surface of the Moon. The famous "dark" side of the Moon has many more craters, mountains and landforms. In addition, as we already mentioned, most of the seas, on the contrary, are on the side that we can see.
The seventh mystery of the Moon: the low density of the Moon
The density of our satellite is 60% of the density of the Earth. This fact, together with various studies proves that the Moon is a hollow object. Moreover, several scientists have ventured to suggest that the above-mentioned cavity is artificial.
In fact, given the layout of the surface layers that have been identified, scientists argue that the Moon appears to be like a planet that formed "in reverse," and some use this as evidence for the "artificial casting" theory.
The Eighth Mystery of the Moon: Origin
In the last century, for a long time, three theories of the origin of the Moon were conventionally accepted. Currently, most of the scientific community has accepted the hypothesis of the artificial origin of the lunar planetoid as no less valid than others. One theory suggests that the Moon is a fragment of the Earth.
But the enormous differences in the nature of these two bodies make this theory practically untenable. Another theory is that this celestial body formed at the same time as the Earth, from the same cloud of cosmic gas. But the previous conclusion is also valid in relation to this judgment, since the Earth and the Moon should have at least a similar structure.
The third theory suggests that, while wandering through space, the Moon fell into the earth's gravity, which caught and turned it into its “captive”. The big flaw in this explanation is that the Moon's orbit is essentially circular and cyclical. In such a phenomenon (when the satellite is “caught” by the planet), the orbit would be quite far from the center or, at least, would be some kind of ellipsoid.+
The fourth assumption is the most incredible of all, but, in any case, it can explain various anomalies that are associated with the Earth's satellite, since if the Moon was designed by intelligent beings, then physical laws, to the action of which it is susceptible, would not be equally applicable to other celestial bodies.
The mysteries of the Moon put forward by scientists Vasin and Shcherbakov are only some of the real physical assessments of the Moon's anomalies. In addition, there are many other video, photographic evidence and studies that give confidence to those who think about the possibility that our “natural” satellite is not one.
Moon- the closest satellite of humanity in outer space and the only celestial body that we have visited. But despite its relative proximity to us and its apparent simplicity, our satellite continues to hide a lot, and some of them are worth learning about.
Optical illusion
During the full moon, our satellite emits 12.6 units of brightness, while the Sun emits 26.8. For some reason, the human eye “sees” the disk of the Moon much larger at the moment when it is close to the horizon. But in fact it is 1.5% smaller along with the Moon at its zenith. This is a peculiar optical illusion, which we observe in the example of the Sun. And it is not the Earth’s atmosphere that refracts light and increases the diameter of the stars. 
Moonquakes
The Moon has extremely low geological activity, but crustal movements occur there too. There are four types of moonquakes: the first three - deep moonquakes, vibrations from meteorite impacts and thermal moonquakes caused by solar activity - are relatively safe. And moonquakes of the fourth type can be up to 5.5 on the Richter scale - this is enough to make small objects begin to tremble. These tremors last for about ten minutes. Earthquakes on Earth are typically caused by the movement of tectonic plates, but on the Moon there are simply no tectonic plates, and we don't know what exactly causes moonquakes.
The moon is hollow inside
Above the “lunar site seas” they found areas in which the gravity of our satellite is changed. This fact, as well as checking the movement and specific gravity Moons suggest that the Moon may be hollow inside. And after part of the Apollo 13 rocket separated and fell onto the surface of the satellite, the Moon “oscillated” for about three hours up to 40 kilometers deep, as if hollow! At the same time, according to the astronauts, it “ringed like a bell.”
Lunar anomalies
Some images taken by various satellites show very strange artificial structures, the size of which varies from very small ones, usually shaped like a parallelepiped, to obelisks less than 1.5 km in height.
Moon dust
One of the most amazing and at the same time most dangerous things on the Moon is lunar dust. Instead of dust, there is crushed regolith rock on the Moon. It is fine, like flour, but at the same time very rough. Thanks to its texture and low gravity, the site penetrates absolutely anywhere. NASA had numerous problems with lunar dust: it ripped astronauts' boots almost completely apart, penetrated ships and space suits, and caused "lunar hay fever" in astronauts if they inhaled it. Moon dust smells like burnt gunpowder, which is probably due to its meteorite origin. In the region of the lunar “oceans” its layer is 3 meters, and on the plateau it reaches 20.
Moon shadows
When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin first walked on the Moon, they made an amazing discovery: the shadows on the Moon are much darker than the shadows on Earth due to the lack of an atmosphere. All lunar shadows are absolutely black. As soon as the astronauts stepped into the shadows, they could no longer see their own feet, despite the sun's disk burning brightly in the sky. Moon shadows became the bane of many Apollo missions. Some astronauts found it impossible to complete spacecraft maintenance tasks because they couldn't see what their hands were doing. Others thought that they had accidentally landed in a cave: this effect was created due to the shadows cast by the slopes.
Of course, the astronauts were able to adapt to this, but such a contrast between dark and light areas of the surface still remained a problem. The astronauts noticed that some shadows—namely, their own—had halos. They later learned that the eerie phenomenon was explained by the opposition effect, in which some dark shadow areas appear to have a bright halo, provided that the observer looks at the shadows from a certain angle.
Difficulties with low gravity
Although gravity on the Moon is only one-sixth that earth's gravity, but moving along its surface is difficult. Buzz Aldrin said that it would be extremely difficult to establish settlements on the Moon: the feet of astronauts in bulky spacesuits were buried in lunar dust almost 15 cm deep. Despite the low gravity, the inertia of a person on the Moon is high, so it is difficult to move quickly or change direction there. If the astronauts wanted to move faster, they had to jump like kangaroos, which was also a problem since the Moon is full of craters and other dangerous objects.
Solar eclipse thanks to the Moon
During a total solar eclipse, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, and the lunar disk exactly coincides with the solar one, covering it almost completely. This effect is due to an amazing coincidence: the diameter of the Sun is about 400 times greater than the diameter of the Moon, but the distance from us to the Sun is also about 400 times greater, so from the Earth both luminaries appear approximately the same. This ratio of sizes and distances is unique for all the planets of the Solar System and all their known satellites. Moreover, this coincidence happened precisely in our time, because the Moon is gradually moving away from the Earth, and after millions of years a total solar eclipse can no longer be seen.

A total solar eclipse was observed on November 14, 2013 in three Australian cities - Cairns, Port Douglas and Brisbane:

Moon eclipse
This is an eclipse that occurs when the Moon enters the cone of the shadow cast by the Earth. The Moon can be completely obscured, i.e. a total lunar eclipse with a blood-red moon effect, or the Moon can be partially obscured - a partial or penumbral eclipse.
A total lunar eclipse occurred on June 15, 2011. The Moon was completely immersed in the Earth's shadow for 100 minutes. This is the longest eclipse since July 2000:

Supermoon
A supermoon is the position of the Moon when it is slightly closer to the Earth in its orbit than usual. The effect of a close orbit is especially noticeable during the full moon. The Moon appears larger than usual, although the difference in distance from Earth differs by only a few percent. During a supermoon The moon looks 14% bigger and 30% brighter than on normal days. A supermoon typically does not have a noticeable effect on Earth, except for stronger tides.
Every month on the day of the new moon, the Earth, Moon and Sun line up, with the Moon taking its place in the middle. This astronomical phenomenon causes extensive tides. During these tides, the water mark is particularly high, and then the water subsides later that day. During supermoons, the Moon increases the tides, causing what are called perigee tides.
During a supermoon On August 10, the Moon will be at its closest distance to Earth. This is evening and night from Sunday to Monday. But even the day before, the Moon will already be magnificent. If we also take into account that in August the Earth passes through meteor shower, appearing from the direction of the constellation Perseus, and falling meteorites are most often observed, then you can sit all night admiring the starry sky with “falling stars” and a huge bright moon. Very romantic! Do not miss!

Earth sunrise over the moon
It is known that the Moon always faces the Earth with one side, but for someone who is on the Moon, the Earth will not hang motionless in the sky. This is due to the fact that, firstly, the Moon’s orbit is not circular, but elliptical, and secondly, the Moon’s axis of rotation is inclined to the axis of the orbit around the Earth. Thanks to these small movements, which are collectively called libration, a total of about 60% of the lunar surface is visible to an observer on Earth. In turn, an observer located on the border of the lunar disk can see the sunrise and sunset of the Earth. Magnificent view of the Earth rising above the Moon:
Moonbows
There are also lunar rainbows that arise from the light reflected by the Moon. sunlight. Since this light is significantly weaker than direct sunlight, to the human eye a lunar rainbow usually looks just white, but a camera with a long exposure can capture it in color. Moonbow at Victoria Falls:
The relationship between the phases of the moon, writing and lunar chronology
We call the emerging disk of the Moon a month. It grows from right to left and decreases in the same order. Therefore, after the new moon, when the Moon is completely invisible, a month appears, the horns of which point to the left. And after the full moon, when the Moon wanes, gradually turning back into a month, its horns are already directed to the right. Therefore, it is always easy to determine what phase the Moon is in. What we see The illuminated shape of the Moon always changes from right to left, also influenced the direction of writing in Arabic writing. In some countries, lunar chronology is adopted along with the usual solar Gregorian calendar. Thus, The year 2014 corresponds to 1435 according to the Islamic calendar and 2557 according to the Buddhist calendar. Thin crescent moon, nascent moon site behind ancient temple Parthenon in Athens:
Here's some more interesting information about the Moon:
1. Few people know that there is a real monument to the fallen astronauts on the Moon. It is a small man in a spacesuit, measuring 8 cm, made of aluminum and installed in 1971. The figurine also comes with a name plate. dead people. Among the other 14 cosmonauts, the name of Yuri Gagarin is mentioned. Eugene Shoemaker (founder of astrogeology) himself wanted to become an astronaut, but was unable to get the job due to minor health problems. This remained the biggest disappointment throughout his life, but Shoemaker nevertheless continued to dream that one day he would be able to visit the Moon himself. When he died, NASA employees carried out his most cherished wish and sent his ashes to the Moon with the Lunar Prospector station in 1998. website His ashes remain there, scattered among the moon dust.
2. If Belka and Strelka were the first conquerors of space, then the conquerors of the Moon can be called Asian turtles with various bugs, plants and bacteria. They orbited the Earth's satellite for the first time.
3. According to space news, the Moon has such a feature as sharp drop temperatures from -100°C to +160°C, while on Earth the maximum and record difference was recorded once in 1916, in the state of Montana (USA) – it was -49 to +7 degrees.
4. There is no atmosphere on the Moon, so there is a black starry sky there all day long. From it, regardless of the time of day, the Earth is always clearly visible.
5. Moon's gravity is 6 times less than Earth's. Based on this information and simple mathematical calculations, an ordinary person can easily lift the weight of a load equal to his own.
6. To help you navigate the site in the distance from the Earth to the Moon, we will give several examples. It will take about 20 days to travel by plane, by car constant speed at 90-100 km/h – up to six months.
How more people learn about the Moon, the more mysteries arise that break established scientific ideas about it.
UFO on the Moon:
Back in the 1960s, Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov from the USSR Academy of Sciences put forward the hypothesis that in reality our satellite was created artificially.
This hypothesis has eight main postulates, popularly called “riddles,” which analyze some of the most surprising aspects about the satellite.
Is the Moon an artificial satellite? The first mystery of the Moon: artificial Moon or cosmic exchange
In fact, the orbit of motion and the size of the moon's satellite are physically almost impossible. If this were natural, one could argue that this is an extremely strange “whim” of the cosmos. This is due to the fact that the size of the Moon is equal to a quarter of the size of the Earth, and the ratio of the sizes of the satellite and the planet is always many times smaller. The distance from the Moon to the Earth is such that the sizes of the Sun and Moon are visually the same. This allows us to observe such a rare phenomenon as a total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely covers the Sun. The same mathematical impossibility applies to the masses of both celestial bodies. If the Moon were a body that at a certain moment was attracted by the Earth and acquired a natural orbit, then it would be expected that this orbit should be elliptical. Instead, it is strikingly round.
The second mystery of the Moon: the incredible curvature of the Moon's surface 
The incredible curvature that the Moon's surface exhibits is inexplicable. The moon is not a round body. The results of geological studies lead to the conclusion that this planetoid is actually a hollow ball. Although it is such, scientists still cannot explain how the Moon can have such a strange structure without being destroyed.

Indeed, the lunar crust and rocks have been shown to have extraordinary levels of titanium. According to Russian scientists Vasin and Shcherbakov, the thickness of the titanium layer is 30 km.

The explanation for the presence of a huge number of meteorite craters on the surface of the Moon is widely known - the absence of an atmosphere. Most cosmic bodies that try to penetrate Earth encounter kilometers of atmosphere on their way, and it all ends with the “aggressor” disintegrating. The Moon does not have the ability to protect its surface from the scars left by all the meteorites crashing into it - craters of all sizes.

Even craters with a diameter of 150 kilometers do not exceed 4 kilometers deep into the Moon. This feature is inexplicable from the point of view of normal observations that there should be craters at least 50 km deep.
The fourth mystery of the Moon: “lunar seas” 
How were the so-called “lunar seas” formed? These gigantic areas of solid lava, which originate from the interior of the Moon, could easily be explained if the Moon were a hot planet with a liquid interior, where they could arise from meteorite impacts. But physically, it is much more likely that the Moon, judging by its size, has always been a cold body. Another mystery is the location of the “lunar seas”. Why are 80% of them on the visible side of the Moon?
The fifth mystery of the Moon: mascons 
The gravitational attraction on the surface of the Moon is not uniform. This effect had already been noted by the crew of Apollo VIII when it flew around the lunar sea zones. Mascones (from "Mass Concentration" - mass concentration) are places where a substance of greater density or quantity is believed to exist. This phenomenon is closely related to the lunar seas, since the mascons are located under them.
The sixth mystery of the Moon: geographic asymmetry 
A rather shocking fact in science, which still cannot be explained, is the geographic asymmetry of the surface of the Moon. The famous "dark" side of the Moon has many more craters, mountains and relief features. In addition, as we already mentioned, most of the seas, on the contrary, are on the side that we can see.
The seventh mystery of the Moon: the low density of the Moon 
The density of our satellite is 60% of the density of the Earth. This fact, together with various studies, proves that the Moon is a hollow object. Moreover, several scientists have ventured to suggest that the above-mentioned cavity is artificial. In fact, given the arrangement of the surface layers that have been identified, scientists argue that the Moon appears to be like a planet that formed "in reverse," and some have used this to argue for the "artificial casting" theory.
The Eighth Mystery of the Moon: Origin 
In the last century, for a long time, three theories of the origin of the Moon were conventionally accepted. Currently, most of the scientific community has accepted the hypothesis of the artificial origin of the lunar planetoid as no less valid than others.

The big flaw in this explanation is that the Moon's orbit is essentially circular and cyclical. In such a phenomenon (when the satellite is “caught” by the planet), the orbit would be sufficiently distant from the center or, at least, would be some kind of ellipsoid.
The fourth assumption is the most incredible of all, but, in any case, it can explain the various anomalies that are associated with the Earth's satellite, since if the Moon were constructed by intelligent beings, then the physical laws to which it is subject would not be equally applicable to other celestial bodies.
The mysteries of the Moon put forward by scientists Vasin and Shcherbakov are only some real physical assessments of the Moon's anomalies. In addition, there are many other video, photographic evidence and studies that give confidence to those who think about the possibility that our “natural” satellite is not one.
Recently, a controversial video appeared on the Internet, which will be interesting within the framework of the topic under consideration:
Video description:
This video was made from Germany and was filmed over 4 days starting on July 7, 2014. It is clearly visible how “waves”, or rather a stripe, “runs” across the surface of the Moon, and this is similar to how the image of the lunar surface that we see from Earth is updated.
No matter how crazy it may sound, precisely such stripes have been noticed more than once when filming with various video cameras and telescopes. I think anyone with a video camera with a good zoom will be able to see the same thing.
And how, may I ask you, can I explain this? In my opinion, several explanations are possible, and adherents of the generally accepted picture of the world will not like all of them.
1. There is no Moon in the Earth’s orbit at all, but only a flat projection (hologram) creating the appearance of its presence. Moreover, this projection is quite primitive technically, judging by the fact that its creators were forced to create a flat projection and that is why the moon is turned to us on one side. This is simply saving resources to maintain the visible part of the Moon.
2. In the Earth’s orbit there is indeed a certain object whose dimensions correspond to the “Moon” visible to us from the Earth, but in fact, what we see is only a hologram - a camouflage created on top of the object. This, by the way, explains why no one flies to the “Moon”. I think all the states that sent their vehicles to the “Moon” know very well that under the guise of what we see from Earth, there is something completely different there.
These versions are supported by those facts that have long been surprising for their illogicality:
- Why humanity sends spacecraft into deep space, but completely ignores the planet closest to us.
- Why are all the photographs of the moon transmitted by earthly satellites of such disgusting quality?
- Why can’t astronomers, having advanced telescopes, take pictures of the lunar surface with a quality comparable at least to pictures from Mars or from earthly satellites. Why do satellites fly in Earth orbit that can take a photograph of a surface on which a car number is visible, and lunar satellites They photograph the surface in such a resolution that one cannot dare to call it a photograph.
In addition, we present two fragments from RenTV films on the theme of the Moon. The reputation of this channel is known to everyone, but the information provided is useful for analyzing the arguments proposed above.
With a diameter of about 3,476 kilometers, the Moon is a quarter the size of Earth, and its territory is the subject of many fascinating theories. Soil samples obtained during lunar expeditions revealed the content of brass, mica, uranium 236 and neptunium 237, giving rise to a splendor of fascinating mysteries.
In the eyes of numerous hypotheses, the Moon as an astronomical object appears to be one of the most mysterious bodies in the system. Our satellite is rightfully considered a strange astronomical body due to its numerous physical qualities, which scientists are not yet able to explain.
The uniqueness of the Moon also lies in the fact that it is incomparable with any other satellites discovered near neighboring planets to date. In fact, our moon is so unique that Robert Jastrow (an American astronomer and planetary physicist and former leading NASA scientist) called the Moon the “Rosetta Stone of the Planets.” — By the way, the astronomer was skeptical about the idea of UFOs due to the lack of physical evidence supporting this hypothesis.
For a better idea of the uniqueness (or strangeness) of the Earth's satellite, just hear a quote from Robin Brett, a NASA scientist who once heartily declared: It seems easier to explain the non-existence of the Moon than its existence!
Lunar anomalies.
Who won't let us go to the moon? Why was the US lunar program, in which they invested an astronomical sum, curtailed? Why did they suddenly start talking about the achievements of American astronauts from different points of view?
There is no clear answer to these questions. Among numerous versions and arguments, supporters point out that the Moon is an inhabited celestial body!
In fact, astronomers have repeatedly observed mysterious objects on the lunar disk, the origin of which cannot be explained. Strange flights of celestial bodies, whose motion trajectories do not allow them to be confidently classified as space debris. It is difficult to classify them as wandering cosmic bodies, since they do not have a clearly directed trajectory of motion. Many unidentified individuals behave as if they are under the control of a pilot.
In other words, according to ufologists, this is nothing more than from distant worlds and galaxies, and our satellite is a special base created for the maintenance of space technology.
Therefore, if you believe in the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence and analyze a number of facts, then it is quite likely that the “Lunar program” was curtailed for more thorough and serious reasons, than they declared to the whole society.
It is not difficult to guess that if humanity has not yet encountered representatives of other, more developed civilizations, then the proposed base on the Moon is simply hidden from human sight. However, these are just guesses and another version, because... science community does not provide confirmation of the existence of intelligent beings in our galaxy.
Why is the Moon a strange object?
The moon rotates in an astonishing orbit not found anywhere else in the world. solar system. Not a single satellite of the visible planets behaves in an appropriate manner. This is a unique phenomenon for the Moon, because all other satellites orbit the equator of their planets. The Moon rotates in Earth's orbit according to its own rules, denying the accepted laws of the system.
Surprisingly, the Moon maintains a precisely specified altitude, course and speed, which allows the satellite to properly function (interact) with our planet. Some researchers are confident that if the Moon is perceived as an object of natural origin (according to generally accepted teaching), then it cannot be located at all in the place where we see it.
The moon has copper, mica, uranium 236 and neptunium 237 - these products have never been produced natural conditions. The incredible lies in the following: uranium 236 is a radioactive product of nuclear waste contained in spent and regenerated uranium.
The discovery of neptunium 237, a radioactive element, is extremely intriguing nuclear reactors and a participant in the production of plutonium. Such facts speak about the activity of intelligent beings, completely excluding the natural factor, the researchers are sure.
Mysterious lunar characteristics led Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov of the USSR Academy of Sciences to write an article about the satellite in the 1970s entitled “Is the Moon the creation of an alien intelligence?” Almost half a century has passed since its publication, but despite research expeditions to the Moon, we are still no closer to understanding the mystery of the origin of the Earth’s satellite.
In addition, Harold Urey, laureate Nobel Prize in chemistry adds: I am terribly surprised by the lunar samples containing titanium delivered by the astronauts. In fact, the soil samples are unimaginably mind-blowing because scientists could not really explain the presence of finds on the satellite.
The Hollow Moon Theory.
Could the Moon be an artificial structure? Research shows that the Moon is most likely a hollow object, ufologists say. Developing the hypothesis, researchers suggest the incredible: the Moon represents a tool for terraforming the living conditions of planet Earth. An ancient project to engineer the Earth was launched by a powerful alien civilization.
Under a protective layer of regolith, the Moon has hard shell from high-strength materials such as titanium, for example. Uranium, mica, neptunium, copper, and finally, these are definitely products that no one expected to find on the Moon. Meanwhile, this is just construction debris from the creation of a space station, where radioactive elements are “waste” from its working activities. Speaking of garbage, there are now more than 180,000 kg of garbage on the Moon that people have left there.
The version of the Moon with a hollow “pocket” inside looks absurd at first glance. However, due to the large number of anomalies, researchers are convinced that the night star is not just hollow inside, but is a product of extraterrestrial engineering, built tens of hundreds of years ago.In 1969, NASA crash-landed a probe onto the lunar surface to determine the satellite's response to impact. The effect they saw amazed the experimenters themselves: a powerful moonquake engulfed the entire satellite! Scientists were stunned when the moon rang like a bell for more than an hour. Ken Johnson, head of NASA's information department then noted: The moon not only rang like a bell, but was all “dangling”...
A small experiment with big results provoked the formation of countless hypotheses about the true origin of the Moon. In one version, the Moon does not have an internal natural core, which is partially confirmed by the Moon's average density of 3.34 g/cm3, indicating light body. For example, the average density of the Earth is 5.5 g/cm3.
The basic idea of the origin of the Moon is based on a fantastic story: supposedly the Earth’s satellite was brought here by aliens who were not just conducting exploration work in space, but also preparing the planets for biological life.
The theory resonates with such things as ancient records of life before the moon people, a period of time when the Earth did not have a satellite. This also includes the version with the Ecumenical Flood. They say that the Moon that suddenly appeared caused a gigantic tidal wave, which is why the Earth could not calm down for almost two months, and in general, this seems to be true.
During the flyby of the Moon spacecraft it was found that its gravitational field is very uneven. Scientists P. Müller and V. Sjögren discovered pronounced positive gravity anomalies over large lunar seas. They tried to connect such a strange phenomenon with the existence of excess masses in these seas, which they called mascons (“mask” in short - concentration of mass).
The term "mascons" is difficult to find in the dictionary. Just a few decades ago there was no such concept at all. So, what are mascons?
Hypothesis one. Mascons are iron-nickel bodies that flew from space and “buried” into the lunar soil. Müller and Sjogren suggested that the bodies that formed these seas had an iron-nickel composition. But the hypothesis is very artificial, since the possibility of the formation of large iron-nickel satellites in a near-Earth swarm is extremely unlikely.
Hypothesis two. Mascones are strata of sedimentary rocks on the site of ancient seas. The idea that mascons consist of components of fallen bodies is rejected by J. Gilvary (USA). He believes that the masses of the bodies that formed the seas are an order of magnitude smaller than the masses of the Mascons. Gilvary is trying to explain the properties of mascons, starting from his long-standing idea that the seas on the Moon were once real water formations, similar to those on Earth.
In the early era of the Moon's existence, a large amount of volatile substances and water was released from its depths. Water covered the low parts of the lunar surface with a two-kilometer layer. By this time, giant craters already existed. The bottom of the craters was raised by the pressure of the underlying layers, and did not sag further, since, according to Gilvary, the initially heated Moon managed to cool down, restoring its strength.
“As you can now see, there are a large number of questions regarding the Moon, and the presence of water on the satellite in the past is not the most intriguing of them. Another thing is more interesting - can we call the Moon “our natural companion Earth"?
