Arguments about the Moon as an artificial satellite of the earth have been going on for more than a decade and open up a lot of scope for our wildest fantasies.
The moon is definitely not what is written in the textbooks.
Briefly to the point:
In the orbit of our planet, there is indeed a certain object that we see from the Earth “Moon”, but in fact what we see is not a planet - it is a large planetary body with a masking created on top of this object. A kind of massive ship that has an ecosphere inside that was created for their crew. This correct sphere contains a closed ecological system with park-like systems in the central part - a complete world within itself. In fact, this is an artificial planet, as a result of their astro-engineering activities. It is difficult to perceive it as a reality, but it allows us to more visibly imagine that gigantic abyss in technical development between us and a civilization that has gone ahead for millions and billions of years and is located in our solar system. This civilization is extremely responsible and has significant influence in various galactic structures, and also belongs to the so-called Council, which was created by various civilizations with the aim of studying the "migratory paths of intelligent life" and limiting contacts between certain races in our Galaxy. And also for the purpose of monitoring and controlling processes on Earth. It is a fact that only one side of the Moon can be seen from Earth. The period of its rotation around its own axis coincides with the period of rotation around our planet. For a lunar observer, the Earth always hangs in one area of the sky, so the Moon is a very good base for observation.
Current facts and assumptions:
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 of the cosmic bodies that try to penetrate the Earth encounter kilometers of atmosphere on their way, and they all end up disintegrating. The moon does not have such an ability that would protect its surface from scars - craters of various sizes, left by all the meteorites crashing into it. What remains inexplicable is the shallow depth to which the aforementioned bodies were able to penetrate. Indeed, it looks as if a layer of extremely strong substance did not allow meteorites to penetrate 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 in terms of normal observations that there should be craters at least 50 km deep. The results of modern geological research lead to the conclusion that the Moon is a planetoid that is a hollow ball. Scientists still cannot explain how the Moon, with such a strange structure, is indestructible. One of the explanations proposed by the aforementioned scientists is that the lunar crust is composed of a solid framework. It has been proven that the lunar crust and rocks have high levels of titanium. The astronauts were convinced of this when they tried to drill the lunar sea. The lunar seas are composed of "illeminite" - a mineral with a high content of titanium. Uranium 236 and neptunium 237 (which have no analogues on Earth) were found in lunar rocks, as well as corrosion-resistant iron particles. According to Russian scientists Vasin and Shcherbakov, the thickness of the titanium layer is 30 km. Computer calculations have shown that inside this metallic sphere there may be a hollow space, approximately 70 million cubic kilometers. There is an assumption that some technical devices of the system are located in this space, which are designed for mechanisms serving the movement and repair of the space supership, devices for external observations, some structures that provide connection between the armor plating and the internal contents of the Moon are used by some civilization. Numerous mechanisms and structures are also located on the surface of the Moon itself. most of these huge mechanisms have been destroyed, but others are clearly still working. No matter how absurd such a theory may look, it has the right to life until convincing evidence to the contrary is provided. Below are just a few of these facts:
- Judging by the analysis of the density of the Moon and the comparison of these data with the Earth, we can conclude that the Moon is hollow inside. A natural satellite cannot be hollow.
- It is not clear how rocks appeared on the surface of the moon. For example, an analysis of dust found on one of the rock fragments showed that it differs significantly in its chemical composition from the rock itself, which cannot be, according to the theory of the appearance of dust as a result of the collision and decay of such blocks.
- The age of the moon is unknown. It is believed that it is much older than the Earth and even the Sun. So, for example, some lunar rocks are more than five billion years old, and the dust on them is even older.
- Some of the lunar rocks were magnetized, but this cannot be, since the moon does not have a magnetic field.
- There are some large round formations on the Moon that provoke gravitational anomalies. They are called mascons. It is not excluded that these formations were created artificially.
- The moon has its own laws. That is, usually, heavier elements are below the surface, while lighter ones, on the contrary, are on the surface. On the Moon, things are different.
- When the Apollo 12 crew ejected their lunar module onto the surface of the moon in November 1969, its impact, spreading forty miles from the landing site, provoked an artificial lunar earthquake. This was followed by an unexpected phenomenon: the moon began to ring like a bell. This sound subsided after about an hour. Based on these data, scientists have suggested that either the Moon has an ultralight core, or it does not have one at all.
There is still water on the moon. On March 7, 1971, the lunar rover recorded a large cloud of steam that floated over the surface of the moon. The cloud lasted about fourteen hours and covered an area of about one hundred square kilometers.
At the end of 1972, the American lunar program was closed. Following it, the program was closed by the USSR. For the layman, there was quite enough information that space flights to an earthly satellite are very expensive and that there is nothing interesting on this satellite. What was the real reason that provoked the Russians and Americans to close the multi-billion dollar programs?
On July 20, 1969, for the first time in the history of mankind, the American manned spacecraft Apollo 11 flies up to the moon for the purpose of landing, millions of radio amateurs around the world watched the broadcasts of the astronauts' communications with Houston. It was then that the first suspicions appeared that the astronauts were not telling something. And it was true. Radio amateurs from Switzerland and Australia managed to catch the astronauts' conversations on other frequencies immediately after their landing on the moon. They talked about strange things.
Only 10 years later, Maurice Chatelain, one of the creators of radio equipment for the lunar program, admitted that he was present at that communication session and personally heard Neil Armstrong report that when the lander began to descend, three UFOs with a diameter of 15-30 meters landed on the edge of the crater in within sight of the Apollo crew. When Armstrong landed on the moon and saw the spaceships, he immediately reported back to Earth. Further, astronaut Edwin Aldrin is talking about some stone blocks near the lander. Some of them emit a small, almost colorless glow from the outside, and some from the inside. He shot several fragments on a 16-mm color film, on one of which two unidentified flying objects of different diameters, as if connecting, walked one towards the other. Then a certain jet of either gas or liquid arose in our understanding. One object began to go up, and then they joined again. All these exercises were filmed. After that, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration - US National Aeronautics and Space Administration) decided to classify everything related to the flight to the moon. (After Apollo 11, other ships also visited there. NASA did not dare to suddenly and without explanation interrupt its lunar program. This could cause a panic on Earth. But the tasks of all subsequent expeditions were simplified, and the time spent on the moon was reduced.) Officially, both NASA and the astronauts themselves refused to comment on this. Almost all astronauts were Air Force officers. And they were covered by the circulars of the military department, including one that explicitly states: the disclosure of any information about UFOs by military personnel falls under the law on espionage.
In 1976, a scandalous book was published. It claims that there were no Americans on the moon. Surprisingly, NASA did not refute this information. Only 30 years later, experts managed to find out that the book was written by order of the aerospace agency itself in order to hide what the Apollo crew actually discovered on the moon.
NASA had a catalog of observations of lunar mystery objects dating back to 1540, and they had a clear idea of what astronauts might encounter on the Moon. In this regard, in the depths of NASA, a cover-up operation was conceived in advance. For this purpose, in advance, during the development of the Apollo program, pavilion surveys were made showing astronauts on the Moon, which were subsequently broadcast live to the whole world on July 20, 1969. The whole world never saw the true surveys carried out by the Americans on the Moon. They apparently still lie in the secret archives of NASA.
History with lunar soil:
According to the American legend, the Apollo 11 spacecraft, having flown to the Moon (landing on July 20, 1969), delivered 22 kg of lunar soil samples from there to Earth. Then, on November 14-24, 1969, Apollo 12 flew to the Moon, delivering 33.9 kg of samples to Earth. Total: 55.9 kg "for all mankind", as the Americans assured. And only on September 12, 1970, 14 months after the Americans began researching the "delivered samples", the Soviet automatic station "Luna-16" went to the Moon, which brought 101 g of lunar soil - this sample was taken in the area, pretty much away from the Apollo landing sites. Of these 101 years, the USSR transferred 3.2 years to the USA, i.e. about 3%. On April 13, the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences was visited by representatives of NASA and the transfer of samples of lunar soil from among those delivered to Earth by the Soviet automatic station Luna-20 took place. At the same time, a sample of lunar soil obtained by the crew of the American Apollo 15 spacecraft was handed over to Soviet scientists. The exchange was made in accordance with an agreement between the USSR Academy of Sciences and NASA, signed in January 1971.
The lunar soil delivered by the Apollos, despite its rather large amount, was not given for research to all competent laboratories of the USSR, and out of 51 research groups in the Soviet Union, 46 did not see samples of American "lunar soil" allegedly sent to the USSR, although by the nature of their research they were obliged to carry out comparisons, as required both by the meaning of flights to the moon and the laws of propaganda, and was placed at the disposal of a narrow circle of practically only Moscow scientists, mainly from the Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry. Vernadsky. Only 3.1 g of American samples were issued to Soviet scientists for research. There is only one explanation for this violation of common sense: the Central Committee of the CPSU did not want the Americans to fake their "lunar soil" to be revealed. The Soviet lunar soil was made available to a narrow circle of scientists from 40 American and French research groups. They did not explore the American soil. Almost all research groups independent of NASA noted a sharp difference between the Luna-16 soil and American samples in dozens of parameters, and the deviations of the parameters were sometimes hundreds of times. As a result, independent Western scientists were forced to explain these discrepancies by contamination of samples, uneven soil mixing on the Moon, and the uniqueness of the region of the Moon where Luna-16 landed. Although the explanation is on the surface: instead of lunar soil, the Americans slipped samples falsified on Earth for research. Finally, the Paris Observatory determined from changes in the polarization of the reflected light that the sample returned from the Moon was only the soil of Luna 16.
Here's what NASA claimed about the research:
Only a few series of experiments were carried out with samples weighing 20–200 g, while most of the experiments were performed on samples weighing 1–2 g. Studies of the Moon's soils collected under the Apollo program have not yet been completed. The main part of the material delivered to Earth was left for long-term storage in the expectation that new, more subtle methods of analysis and instruments will appear in the future. Some of the samples are stored in sealed containers, in which they were delivered from the Moon. For initial experiments, NASA provided scientists from a number of countries with samples of lunar rocks weighing 2-3 g, with an obligation to return them after the study is completed.
NASA claims it releases approximately 1,100 samples per year and is being examined by "more than 60 labs." Moreover, irrevocably unspoiled samples are returned and launched in this way “in a circle”. At the same time, they do not hide the fact that they are twisting the same samples in a circle until they are finally tortured.
By the simplest multiplication, one can estimate that (1000 samples per 0.02-0.09 g) no more than 100 grams of American regolith walks around the world. The main reason for this seems to lie in the fact that the determination of, for example, compressibility and shear resistance parameters, which are so important for soil science, requires tens and hundreds of grams. Since the decision was made in the United States to keep the bulk of the delivered samples completely intact until new, more advanced methods of studying them are developed, scientists have not yet received large samples and could hardly get adequate results. We can draw the following conclusion: what lies in the vaults and is “mothballed” for future research is just an imitation. Moreover, they made it quite officially, ostensibly for educational purposes, slipping crushed lunar meteorites, where - samples taken from one place, under the guise of taken from different places (approximate data for 1975 - 79).
All lunar images posted on official websites in the public domain are first retouched.
Mankind sends vehicles into deep space, but completely ignores the planet closest to us. I think all the states that have sent their spacecraft to the "Moon" are well aware that under the guise of what we see from the Earth, there is something completely different.
There are satellites flying in orbit around the Earth that can take a photograph of the surface on which a car number is visible, and photographs of the surface of the moon transmitted by terrestrial satellites are of disgusting quality.
From such a distance from which we look at the Moon from the Earth, any cosmic body, devoid of vegetation, atmosphere and water, will silver, reflecting sunlight - but this is from a distance. If you look at the photos that American astronauts took on the moon, then even close up it is either white or grayish-silver in the sun. And in the shade - dark. In a word, black and white is completely devoid of color. It cannot be that the local soil is the same gray everywhere. For some mysterious reason, NASA's trick has been going on for years. All lunar images posted on official websites in the public domain have been processed. As a rule, the natural color of the object is removed and its structure is masked so as not to give out some details that should not fall into the field of view. The employees of the NASA photo lab themselves admitted to such a falsification: “We have an order to remove everything from the photo before they are published that may cause an unwanted question.”
The first mysterious discovery of the Chinese lunar rover: The moon is not the color that the Americans had In the pictures transmitted by the Jade Hare, the surface of our natural satellite for some reason appears brown, not gray. 
The Chinese satellite Chang'e-2 has discovered artificial structures on the surface of the moon. Chang'e-2 is an unmanned lunar probe launched on October 1, 2010.
The video clearly shows buildings and structures on the surface of the moon, which are clearly artificial in nature. Researchers believe that some "human" elites travel to the moon (video attached).
On March 21, 1996, NASA scientists and engineers for the first time publish a statement stating that there are serious reasons to believe that there are artificial structures and objects on the Moon. When asked why this information was not brought to the public earlier, NASA experts answered 20 years ago: it was difficult to predict how people would react to the message that someone was or is on the moon in our time. But after the statement of scientists, the secrecy was not over.
In 2007, Ken Johnston, former head of NASA's lunar laboratory photography service, claims that there is an unearthly civilization on the moon, the main evidence is pictures taken from space. In the photographs you can see the ruins of cities, giant spheres of glass, tunnels going deep into the craters. 
Millions of photographs of the Moon have been taken by spacecraft from various countries, which show the ruins of architectural structures, sculptures, arches, bridges, pyramids and other artificial formations. Dome-shaped structures on the Moon also raise a lot of questions. From 1930 to 1960, more than two hundred observations of moving lunar domes were recorded; they resemble moving pillboxes or bunkers. Some terrestrial lunar settlement projects look the same. The same domed structures.
He says that back in July '71, he provided these pictures to NASA management, but the aerospace agency ordered these pictures to be destroyed, and they took a non-disclosure agreement from Johnston himself, but Ken kept the pictures. After 40 years, he decided to publish them. Johnston assures that he has another proof that there is another civilization on the Moon - these are the negotiations of the astronauts who landed on the Moon. According to Ken, 2 frequencies were used to communicate with the astronauts: the official one, which went on the air, and the secret one, which was used by NASA and was intended for special cases if something did not go according to plan on the Moon. Later, Ken Johnston revealed another secret. A former NASA employee claims that Apollo astronauts discovered a previously unknown gravity control technology on the Moon. Secrets that were brought to Earth. Perhaps now, based on these technologies, the United States is developing the latest types of engines and weapons.
For such a long time, the Moon remains an extremely little explored object. There are very few flights to it, at least officially. Why do all plans for building some kind of lunar base, plans for regular flights of probes there, even for purely utilitarian purposes, remain only plans? Despite the close study of the satellite, hundreds of experiments and multiple flights to the moon, only give rise to even more unresolved questions.
As Plate writes in Death from Heaven, a gamma-ray burst is the brightest event since the Big Bang. None of these outbursts repeats another, but they all arise due to catastrophes on a galactic scale: when very large stars die, stop "burning" and collapse under the influence of their own gravity or, presumably, due to the collision of two neutron stars (objects the size of city, but with a mass like that of one or two suns).
In such cases, the energy escapes not uniformly in all directions, but in directed beams. This event is so grandiose that sometimes it can be seen with the naked eye for billions (!) of light years. What will happen if such a beam hits the Earth?
Let's assume that the gamma-ray burst occurred very close: at a distance of 100 light years. Even at such a close distance, the diameter of the gamma-ray burst beam would be gigantic, 80 trillion km. This means that the entire Earth, the entire solar system would be swallowed up by it, like a sand flea captured by a tsunami.
Fortunately, gamma-ray bursts are relatively short-lived, so the beam will affect us for less than a second to several minutes. The average burst lasts approximately ten seconds.
This is short compared to the Earth's rotation, so the beam would only hit one hemisphere. The second hemisphere would be relatively safe... at least for a while. The most dire consequences would be in places directly under the gamma-ray burst (where the flash would be visible directly overhead, at the zenith), and minimal where the flash would be visible on the horizon. But still, as we shall see, no place on Earth would be completely safe.
The unbridled energy that would be dumped on Earth is overwhelming. This is more than the worst nightmares of the Cold War: it is like a gamma-ray burst detonating a nuclear bomb with a yield of one megaton over every 2.5 km2 of the planet. It's (probably) not enough to boil the oceans or blow the Earth's atmosphere, but the destruction would be beyond comprehension.
Keep in mind, this is all from an object 900 trillion km away.
Anyone who looked at the sky at the time of the flash could have been blinded, although peak brightness in the visible range would probably have been reached only after a few seconds - enough to flinch and turn away. Not that it helped much.
Those who would have been caught on the street at that moment would have been in big trouble. Even if they hadn't been burned by the heat - and they would have been - they would have instantly received a fatal burn from a huge stream of ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer would be destroyed literally instantly, and UV radiation from both the gamma-ray burst and the Sun would freely reach the surface of the Earth, making it, as well as the oceans to a depth of several meters barren.
And that's just from UV radiation and heat. It seems cruel to even mention the much, much worse effects of exposure to gamma and X-rays.
Instead, let's digress a bit. Gamma-ray bursts are incredibly rare. Although they most likely occur several times a day somewhere in the universe, the universe itself is very large. At present, the probability that one of them will occur at a distance of 100 light-years from us is zero. Perfect, absolute zero. There are no stars near us that could, in principle, give rise to a gamma-ray burst. The closest supernova candidate is further away, and gamma-ray bursts are much rarer than supernovae.
Feel better? Good. Now let's try a more realistic approach. What is the closest candidate for a gamma-ray burst source?
In the sky of the southern hemisphere there is a star unremarkable to the naked eye. It is called Eta Carina, or simply Eta, a dim star in a crowd of brighter stars. However, its dim light is deceptive, behind it lies its fury. It is actually about 7,500 light-years away - in fact, it is the most distant star that can be seen with the naked eye.
The star itself (actually Eta could be a binary system, two stars orbiting each other. The stuff surrounding the star gives off so much glare and noise that astronomers are still not 100% sure) is a monster: its mass could be 100 solar masses or even more, and it radiates 5 million times more energy than the Sun - in one second it emits as much light as the Sun emits in two months. Periodically, Eta has spasms and vomits huge amounts of matter. In 1843 she had such a violent fit that she became the second brightest star in the sky, even at such a great distance. It ejected gigantic amounts of matter in excess of ten solar masses at speeds in excess of 1.5 million km/h. Today we see the consequences of that explosion in the form of two huge clouds of divergent matter, similar to a shot from a space gun. That event was almost as powerful as a supernova.
Eta has all the hallmarks of a brewing gamma-ray burst. It will most likely explode as a supernova, but it is not known whether it will be a hypernova type gamma-ray burst or not. It should also be noted that if it explodes and emits a gamma-ray burst, the orientation of this system is such that the beam will not hit the Earth. We can tell this from the geometry of the gas clouds ejected during the 1843 seizure: the lobes of the expanding gas are tilted about 45° relative to us, and any GRBs would be along that axis. Let me be more specific: in the near or even medium term, a gamma-ray burst from Eta or anywhere else does not threaten us.
But it's still interesting to think "what if". What if Eta was aimed at us and went hypernova? What would happen then?
Again, no good. Even though it would not even come close in brightness to the Sun, it would be as bright as the Moon, or even ten times brighter. You wouldn't be able to look at it without squinting, but that brightness would only last for a few seconds or minutes, so there probably wouldn't be any long-term damage to the life cycles of flora or fauna.
The flux of ultraviolet radiation would be intense but brief. People on the street would have received moderate sunburn, but in all likelihood, there would not have been a statistically significant increase in skin cancer cases in the future.
But with gamma and X-rays, the situation is completely different. The Earth's atmosphere would absorb these types of radiation, and the consequences of this would be much worse than in the case of a nearby supernova explosion.
The most direct consequence would be a powerful electromagnetic pulse, much more powerful than the one generated in Hawaii during the nuclear tests of the Starfish Prime device. In this case, EMP (electromagnetic pulse - approx. TASS) would instantly destroy any unshielded electronic device in that hemisphere of the Earth, which was directed towards the burst. Computers, phones, airplanes, cars, any electronic object would stop working. This also applies to power systems: a huge current would be induced in the power lines, leading to their overload. People would be left without electricity and without any means of long-distance communication (the equipment of all satellites would burn out from gamma radiation in any case). This would be more than just an inconvenience, because it means hospitals, fire departments and other emergency services would also be left without electricity.
But as we'll see in a moment, we may not need emergency services...
The consequences for the Earth's atmosphere would be severe. Scientists are closely studying this situation. Using the same models as described in Chapter 3, and assuming that the GRB originated at Eta's distance, they determined what the consequences would be. And these results are not at all encouraging.
The ozone layer would be severely impacted. The gamma radiation from the burst would completely destroy the ozone molecules. The ozone layer worldwide would be reduced by an average of 35%, with more than 50% reduced in some individual regions. This is incredibly detrimental in itself - mind you, our current ozone problems are caused by a relatively small drop, only 3% or so.
The effects of this are very long lasting and can last for years - even after five years the ozone layer can still be 10% thinner. During this time, UV radiation from the Sun would be more intense on the Earth's surface. Microorganisms that form the basis of the food chain are very sensitive to it. Many of them would die, leading to the possible extinction of other species higher up the food chain.
To top it all off, the reddish-brown nitrogen dioxide produced by the gamma-ray burst from Eta Carinae (see Chapters 2 and 3) would significantly reduce the amount of sunlight reaching Earth.
The exact consequences of this are difficult to determine, but it seems likely that even a few percent reduction in the amount of sunlight on the entire Earth (nitrogen dioxide would diffuse throughout the atmosphere) would lead to a significant cooling of the Earth and could, presumably, be the initiating factor for an ice age.
In addition, the chemical mixture that acid rain would represent would contain enough nitric acid, and this would also theoretically have devastating consequences for the environment.
Next, there is a problem with subatomic particles (cosmic rays) from the burst. What damage would be from them is not specifically known. But, as we discussed in Chapters 2 and 3, high-energy particles can have a wide variety of effects on Earth. A gamma-ray burst at a distance of 7500 light years would have launched a huge amount of subatomic particles into our atmosphere, and they would have traveled at a speed slightly less than the speed of light. Just a few hours after the burst, they would have already burst into our atmosphere, spilling a shower of muons. We constantly observe muons arriving from space, but in small quantities. However, a nearby gamma-ray burst would generate a mass of muons. One group of astronomers calculated that up to 46 billion muons per cm2 would hit the Earth's surface over the entire hemisphere directed at the burst (such conclusions, however, are debatable. This is a new area of \u200b\u200bscience, and the models are not entirely reliable. However, if you you will learn something from this, then just remember that a near burst of gamma radiation is bad - author's note). It seems like a lot - well, yes, it is. These particles would cascade out of the sky and be swallowed up by anything in their path. Considering how well body tissues can absorb muons, the astronomers who performed the calculation found that an unprotected person would receive a dose of radiation dozens of times greater than the lethal one. Hiding will not help much: muons can penetrate water to a depth of almost 2 km and up to 800 m into rocks! Therefore, almost all life on Earth would suffer.
So the destruction of the ozone layer would not be such a big deal. By the time it became a problem, most of the animals and plants on Earth would have been dead long ago.
This is the nightmare scenario described at the beginning of this chapter. However, before you start to panic, remember: Eta Carina's possible gamma-ray burst will most likely not be directed in our direction. But before we wrap it up, there is another possible progenitor of the gamma-ray burst that we need to keep in mind. It's called WR 104, and coincidentally it's about the same distance from us as Eta. WR 104 is a binary system whose star is a bloated, massive beast approaching the end of its life. It could explode, emitting a gamma-ray burst, and could be pointed more or less at us, but both of these assumptions are inaccurate. In all likelihood, this monster does not threaten us either, but it is worth mentioning.
“... in August 1738, something similar to lightning appeared on the disk of the Moon; in October 1785, bright flashes of light appeared on the border of the dark lunar disk, consisting of individual small sparks and moving in straight lines to the north; in July 1842, during a solar eclipse, the lunar disk occasionally crossed bright stripes; in September 1881, a comet-like object was moving across the lunar disk, which was observed from two earthly points, 12 thousand kilometers apart from each other. Let us return, however, to our time ... In the autumn of 1957, the American magazine Skys and Telescope published a photograph of the outskirts of the Moon, the Fra Mauro crater, obtained by astronomer R. Curtis. The geometrically correct Maltese cross was clearly visible in the blurry moon shadows. An examination confirmed the authenticity of the photo.”
The moon has long occupied the imagination of people. She was worshiped, she was credited with a mysterious power, her ghostly light inspired poets and dreamers in love. The ancients knew the special role of the Moon in the well-being and behavior of people. The influence of the Moon on the tides, on the weather, on the speed of the Earth's rotation is indisputable. And although today the natural satellite of the Earth has been studied in some detail and people have even been there, many of the most diverse mysteries, events and phenomena are associated with the Moon, which cannot yet be unambiguously explained. Since ancient times, evidence has accumulated from both professional astronomers and amateurs who have observed short-term lunar phenomena on the Moon, or Lunar Transient Phenomena (LTP), which are divided into several types:
- changes in the appearance and clarity of the image of relief details;
- brightness and flash changes;
- changes in the color of the lunar object;
- the appearance or disappearance of dark spots;
- elongation of the lunar horns;
- anomalous phenomena during occultations of stars by the Moon;
- non-stationary phenomena during lunar eclipses;
- moving LTPs. The history of such observations goes deep into the past.
The most interesting thing is that after some time the cross was not in this place. Further. In May 1964, American astronomers Harris, Croce and others observed a white spot over the Sea of Tranquility for more than an hour, moving at a speed of about 32 km / h. Curiously, it gradually decreased in size. Somewhat later, in June 1964, the same observers recorded a spot on the Moon for two hours moving at a speed of 80 km/h. On a moonlit night in 1966, the English astronomer P. Moore, looking at the bottom of the lunar crater, noticed strange stripes that turned from dark to green-brown, then diverged along the radii, changed shape, grew and reached their maximum size by lunar noon. By the moonlit evening, they shrank, faded, and finally disappeared altogether. In September 1967, Canadian astronomers recorded in the Sea of Tranquility a dark body with a purple tint around the edges, moving from west to east for 10 seconds. The body disappeared near the terminator, and 13 min later a yellow light flashed for a fraction of a second near the crater located in the region of the spot motion. An even more fantastic observation can be made ... In 1968, American researchers noticed how three red light spots merged into one in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Aristarchus crater. Japanese astronomers, meanwhile, observed a pink spot that covered the southern part of this crater. Finally, two red and one blue bands 8 km wide and 50 km long appeared in the crater. It is noteworthy that all this was clearly visible when under the dune, i.e. when the lunar surface is flooded with dazzling light. The list of such observations, which are concentrated in quite definite regions of the visible hemisphere of the Moon, could be continued. But what is it?
The obvious non-randomness of the distribution of moving light objects makes it possible, in particular, to reject the explanation of these phenomena by the effects of terrestrial atmospheric phenomena. It is also impossible to connect them with manifestations of lunar volcanism, with particles of the Earth's magnetic field tail, with radiation stimulated by ultraviolet photons of solar origin, and so on. This means that we are again dealing with something so far incomprehensible, mysterious ... But even more surprising are some facts and circumstances, some of which we will consider below and which can be interpreted as “traces” of extraterrestrial conscious activity on the Moon, or rather, with the Moon. “The moon is an artificial satellite!” - said M. Khvastunov (M. Vasiliev) and R. Shcherbakov in an article that appeared on January 10, 1968 in the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, and then in the Soviet Union magazine. This idea is considered in more detail and in detail in the book by M.V.Vasiliev “Vectors of the Future” (Moscow, 1971). Over the past years, in connection with new results in the study of the Moon, many of the authors' arguments have faded and do not seem as convincing as before, but even today they are very original and are of some interest. Trying to find explanations for many of the "strangeness" of the Moon, Khvastunov and Shcherbakov suggested that the Moon is nothing more than an artificial spacecraft. This "crazy" hypothesis made it possible to consider all the features of the Moon, starting from its structure and origin. It is known that even today astrophysicists cannot unequivocally explain the process of the emergence of a kind of duet of celestial bodies Earth - Moon.
The chemical composition of lunar rocks indicates, according to the authors of the “crazy” hypothesis, that the Moon not only was not part of the Earth, which was claimed by many selenoloth specialists, but could not have appeared next to it. It turned out that the Moon originated somewhere far from our planet, perhaps even outside the solar system, and was “captured” by the Earth when it flew by. It is difficult to say what our planet looked like in those times unknown to us, when the Luna spacecraft was in low Earth orbit, what catastrophic natural disasters accompanied this “reunion”? But immediately, clearly and finally, the authors announced that they did not set themselves the task of answering the following questions: where did our night star come from, by whom and for what purpose was it created, why did it “moor” precisely to our planet? Remained outside the hypothesis and the question of the existence of today's "crew" or the population of the moon. Does it still have life? Or have its intelligent inhabitants died out over the past billions of years? Or maybe, in the “space tomb” even now only automata function, launched by the hands of their ancient creators? Let us turn, however, to the arguments testifying to the “unnatural” origin of the Moon. So, its shape is extremely close to the ball.
Well, why can't a spaceship be spherical? After all, this is the most economical form that allows you to isolate the maximum volume with a minimum surface. Moon dimensions. But if this ship were smaller, would its numerous crew be able to isolate themselves from the hostile influence of space, protect the hull from violent meteor strikes, and survive for a sufficiently long time? From the point of view of our current knowledge, it is quite clear that a space supership must be a very rigid metal structure. The probable thickness of its walls is two or two and a half dozen kilometers. However, metals are known to have high thermal conductivity. To protect the ship from excessive heat loss, its creators covered the surface with a special heat-shielding coating. Its thickness is several kilometers. It was in it that countless craters were formed by meteorites, and the impacts of planetoids - the bed of lunar seas, subsequently filled with a secondary heat-shielding mass. Inside the Moon, under the metal body, there should be a fairly significant free space intended for mechanisms serving the movement and repair of the space supership, devices for external observations, and some structures that ensure the connection of the armor plating with the interior of the Moon. It is possible that 70-80% of the mass of the Moon, located in its depths beyond the “service belt”, is the “payload” of the ship. Guess about its content and purpose goes beyond reasonable assumptions.
Let us take a closer look at some of the features, characteristics and parameters of the Moon, as Khvastunov and Shcherbakov did, which can confirm the “artificiality” of our celestial neighbor ... The seas of the Moon are dark spots visible even to the naked eye. Astronomers believe that they were formed as a result of impacts of giant planetoids. Much later, all the depressions were filled with molten lava, and before that, the “bed of the seas” had been open for a considerable time and subjected to meteorite bombardment. One thing is not clear in this case: how did the lava from the inner regions of the Moon be able to cover the steel with an even layer of extended spatial containers with a diameter of many hundreds of kilometers? Why, under conditions of strong heat transfer into the void of outer space, did it not freeze and thicken? Why do lava lunar outpourings look more like the water surface of the earth's oceans than the lava of terrestrial volcanoes?
If we take into account that the heat-shielding layer of the artificial Moon played a very important role in its life, then for the inhabitants of the Moon it was by no means indifferent that the impacts of oncoming meteorites tore off large pieces of this skin from its metal body. Apparently, such cases along the way, which took millions or billions of years, were foreseen in advance, and in principle they were preparing for them. For this purpose, “pipelines” leading from “machines” located in the “service area” were quickly brought to the exposed places. These machines prepared a powdery mass that was brought out onto the exposed surface of the moon and covered it. It is clear that this “powder” could not cover all the “seas” with an even layer. But the creators of the Moon provided for this case the possibility of an oscillatory movement of the surface of the Moon, which allowed dust grains of sand to form a kind of “fluidized layer”. They “flowed” like a liquid, filling all the recesses of the Moon, forming an almost ideal layer on hundreds of kilometers of the “lunar seas” area. Selenologists carefully studied and compared the photographs of the “lunar continents” and “lunar seas” and made sure that meteorite craters (of comparable sizes) turn over on the continents almost 15 times more often than on the expanses of the seas. Consequently, taking into account the constancy of the intensity of meteorite bombardment for different regions of the lunar surface, one can speak of a much older age of the lunar continents than of the seas. And this, as they say, we needed to “prove” ...
Khvastunov and Shcherbakov convincingly substantiate the appearance of such formations on the surface of the Moon as countless craters and chains of craters, “straight walls” and faults, “white rays” and “colored spots”. Their arguments attract attention with their logic, reasonableness and persuasiveness, although due to brevity of presentation they are not presented here. The presentation of the hypothesis about the artificiality of the Moon in the book “Vectors of the Future” ended with the statement about the “too much courage” of its authors, that these are “only the first arguments, and they still need an accurate scientific foundation.” For many years that have passed since Khvastunov and Shcherbakov put forward their “crazy” hypothesis, the attitude of scientists towards it was at best skeptical, and many did not pay any attention to it at all. Perhaps this was due to the fact that the authors of the hypothesis were not interested in such questions: who are the intelligent beings who made the moon? Why did they make it? Where did the inhabitants of the Luna ship go?., More than ten years have passed since the first publication of Khvastunov and Shcherbakov, astronomer V. Koval tried to shed light on the mysteries of the “thin-walled ball”, speaking in the seventh issue of the journal “Technology for Youth” for 1981 with article “A monument for the millennium”. Having wondered what kind of memory other civilizations could leave about themselves if they visited our planet at the dawn of human development, Koval comes to interesting conclusions, which we will get acquainted with. First. Will those who have crossed hundreds of light-years of space gouge stone idols or pave city squares with heavy stone blocks? Really, having found a planet with developing life, will they wish to leave such “heavy” and, in general, useless gifts as a keepsake for future natives?
It is clear that the economic and planetary activities of hypothetical aliens can leave behind a lot of indirect “evidence” that should have been preserved on our planet. But counting on the slovenliness and inefficiency of the technology of highly advanced interstellar travelers means replacing their psychology and technology with your own. Naturally, questions arise: where and what should a monument be erected. so that the developing earthly civilization after a certain time could comprehend its essence? It is from these considerations that the criteria are determined that such a “message-monument” of those who once visited our planet must satisfy. First of all, the monument must be durable in order to wait for the moment when the ideas and knowledge embedded in it can be perceived. Secondly, it should attract the attention of as many people as possible with its dimensions, brightness, and unusualness. Thirdly, it should be a monument that carries a variety of useful information, emotionally expressive, awakening interest in space, in the stars. Further. A monument should not crush a person with its greatness, but teach to observe and compare, teach to comprehend information unobtrusively, accessible, gradually. To do this, the monument must open in new qualities as the intelligence of the natives develops and be multifunctional. Finally, its artificiality should not immediately be evident, but appear gradually. So, says V. Koval, in order not to build a giant obelisk or monument, no one knows where and no one knows for whom, in order to protect the monument from the harmful effects of near-surface terrestrial activity - showers, winds, temperature extremes, floods, “global floods”, volcanic eruptions and destructive earthquakes, and at the same time make it visible to all the people of the Earth - the aliens inevitably had to place it in space!
All of the above requirements are met by ... the satellite of our planet - the Moon. Yes, yes, it is the Moon! Not an obelisk on the far side of the Moon, not a “treasure of wisdom” of mysterious aliens in one of the lunar craters, but the celestial body of the Moon itself. The most visible, largest and most attractive object in near-Earth space, which meets the criteria for an “alien monument” by 100%! Earlier we talked about attracting everyone's attention, and in relation to the Moon this fact is indisputable. However, not only is it larger and brighter than all celestial bodies in the night sky, it never remains constant: it periodically changes its phase from a narrow growing crescent immediately after the new moon to a full disk, and then gradually turns back into the “old” month. It should not be forgotten that it was thanks to the Moon that man realized the complexity of celestial phenomena, their connection with the surrounding nature. And one of the most convincing "suspicions" that the Moon is a special monument is to "provide" the possibility of periodic observations of eclipses. Recall that for a total eclipse to occur, a number of conditions must be met. The most important of them is the practical equality of the apparent angular dimensions of the Moon and the Sun. It is known that the diameter of the Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun, but it is almost the same number of times closer to the Earth than the Sun. So we see them at the same angle of half a degree! The angle of inclination of the planes of the orbits of the Moon and the Earth is only 5″. If this angle were large, eclipses would become unusually rare, and if the planes of the orbits of two celestial bodies coincided, eclipses would be observed constantly only in the same localities. Aren't these nuances amazing in themselves? Where did the moon come from?
The author of the hypothesis believes that the “aliens” found it in orbit between Mars and Jupiter, where the disappeared planet Phaethon should have rotated, as follows from the Titius-Vode rule. But it turns out that Phaethon has not disappeared, but is in front of our eyes! The “transfer” of Phaethon gives an idea of what energies the “guests” possessed. As for the technology of “towing” the Moon-Phaeton, its smooth and accurate “installation” on the near-Earth oroite, here we are in for complete uncertainty. The same can be said about the timing of such an “interplanetary operation”. It is possible that some information on this topic can be "laid" in an implicit form on the surface of our night star, in the frequency of eclipses, angles and directions to special points of the lunar orbit, etc. A year after the publication of V. Koval's hypothesis, the same journal Tekhnika-Youth published an article “The Moon is a test for attention”, compiled from the responses of readers who took part in deciphering the encoded lunar-space test. So, for example, Moscow artist and amateur astronomer M. Shemyakin, among the chaotic heap of craters on the lunar surface, back in 1961 discovered mysterious chains of lunar craters, the parameters of which obey strict laws. All chains lie on an arc of a circle, the diameter of each subsequent crater is either square cor.(2) times less than the previous one or equal to it. The distances between the centers of the craters also form a geometric progression with a constant multiplier for each chain. Let's take another no less spectacular chain of six craters located inside the giant Clavius circus, which is located near the south pole of the moon. This chain, perfectly visible even in a small telescope, is a decreasing row of craters, all of whose parameters are subject to a strict mathematical law.
Computer calculations have shown that accidental “entry” of craters into such chains is impossible! And scientists have not yet come up with a natural mechanism explaining the occurrence of such formations. A crazy thought involuntarily arises: aren't the converging chains a kind of arrows pointing to special points on the lunar surface? Shouldn't it be precisely at these points, and there are several dozen of them on the Moon, that the lunar surface should be specially studied? Who knows if the “treasures of wisdom” or memorable signs were left there for earthlings? Engineer V. Perebiinos from Krasnodar suggests that information for us can be embedded in the ratios of masses, distances and inclinations of the orbits of various celestial bodies. His assumption is confirmed by the calculations of engineer V. Politov from Voronezh. He believes that in the system of celestial bodies Earth-Moon-Sun, the parameters of the Moon are specifically identified and practically set. Poditov found mathematical confirmation of this assumption in a number of correlations between physical constants, mathematical constants and astronomical parameters. In his opinion, the coincidence of significant figures for individual lunar ratios is either an inexplicable accident (which is unlikely), or the result of an “operation” planned and carried out by extraterrestrial civilizations to set and adjust the size and orbits of the Moon - for the conservation with its help of information that has a very definite meaning for "growing" human civilization. It is difficult, of course, to prove that unusual lunar formations are somehow connected with numerical or temporal information useful for earthlings, indicating that intelligent beings visited our planet in the past. It is difficult, of course, to prove that the Moon is a monument left by them for us, but, as follows from the above, it may well be one. Time and multifaceted scientific research can give us definitive answers to all these questions ...
This strange, strange planet
Our solar system is a relatively small collection of celestial bodies in one of the corners of the vast universe. In addition to the Sun itself, this system includes nine large planets with satellites, several tens of thousands of small planetasteroids, comets and many small meteor objects. Our Earth occupies a special place among all the planets of the solar system. This happens not only because it is our abode and the only one, as we believe today, of the planets where intelligent life exists, but due to a number of inexplicable reasons and circumstances. Let us consider some of them, which, in the author's opinion, are of the greatest interest. First. The results of fundamental studies of the evolution of the Earth's atmosphere and the state of the earth's cover carried out in recent decades show that on those planets of the solar system where the possibility of the existence of some forms of life was previously assumed (primarily on Venus and Mars), it simply could not arise. As it turned out, the “habitat zone” around the Sun is a sphere “thick” no more than 10 million km, located at a distance of about 150 million km from our star, i.e. That is where the Earth's orbit is located. The calculations show that if the Earth were only 8 million km closer to the Sun, then the process of water condensation from the atmosphere could not occur and the formation of oceans, in which, as it is believed, the first forms of life appeared, would become impossible. In this case, our planet would be surrounded by a dense hot atmosphere mainly of carbon dioxide, covered with a dense cloud layer of suspended caustic droplets. This is now the atmosphere of the planet Venus. Calculations also show that only 1C separated our Earth from complete icing. If our planet were only 2 million km farther from the Sun, the intensive process of glacier formation would make the development of higher forms of life impossible. Something similar happened at one time with Mars, where, apparently, powerful glaciers lay under the dry surface.
The studies carried out significantly reduce the number of planets in the Galaxy on which one can assume the presence of certain forms of life. It turns out that life on Earth is lucky ... Yes, really lucky - other stars flare up, fade away or pulsate, and our Sun behaves extremely calmly, and for almost billions of years. Every minute, 1.95 cal of solar heat, or 0.136 Wg/cm, enters the square centimeter of the earth's surface. This value is called the solar constant. Since 1837, when it was introduced, it seemed to be really constant for a long time. However, when the accuracy of its measurement, thanks to modern instruments on space vehicles and in ground-based observatories, reached 0.005%, it was found that since 1978 the intensity of solar radiation began to decrease. Why? There is no single answer to this question. There is no certainty that the “solar constant” will not suddenly start to increase… Second. As you know, the Sun attracts. their satellites. In order not to fall into the inferno of our central luminary, they must move fast enough. However, not too fast - otherwise they will be carried away from the Sun into interstellar space. Each celestial body revolving around the Sun must keep within clear boundaries between the speed of "falling" and the speed of "decaying".
All of the above is directly related to our planet. So, for example, a speed of less than 3 km / s for the Earth is death in the solar flame, and a speed exceeding 42 km / s is a farewell to the Solar system, eternal darkness and cold. Fortunately, the speed of rotation of our planet is far from both extremes. It is intermediate and most reliable, namely, about 30 km/s. Isn't it a strange accident? .. Third. By the abundance of natural resources, by the wealth of organisms, creatures and animals in the film of life framing the Earth, specialists in space life support systems rightly call it a giant spaceship, ideally equipped for almost endless orbital flights of billions of passengers. Indeed, on Earth, unlike other planets of the solar system, the differentiation of matter and the forms of its movement, as noted in the brochure by V.I. (M., 1972), moved much further and culminated in the birth and flourishing of life, the emergence of intelligent beings who are aware of themselves and nature. The exchange of substances between society and nature on Earth is carried out on the basis of a global biochemical cycle of substances in its scale - such a natural production process, the creation of which does not require labor, but the “mediation” of which facilitates the realization of the unity of man and nature.
In other words, the action of a large circulation of substances on our planet reproduces a complex of natural conditions and factors, some of which constitute the raw material base of entire industries, others act as gifts of nature, and so plentiful and accessible that the appropriation of some of them does not cost humanity significant costs. labor. Thus, on our planet, human society has at its disposal practically inexhaustible sources for the production of food, energy and materials, as well as an ecological environment that is self-renewing in the course of the biological cycle and is adequate to human nature. Again, you can ask the question, "accidental" or "regular" favorable for us realized on Earth?.. Fourth. Combustion is a complex chemical process, and it does not occur under any conditions. What exactly these conditions are is discussed in an article published in the journal “Reports of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR” (1982. - T.264. - 4. - P. 888). Its author, a member of the Institute of Chemical Physics, Professor A.D. Margolin, asks the question, what would happen if the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere of our planet was less or more than modern? It turns out that if the amount of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere were less than 15-18%, then the combustion process would become simply impossible in it. In this case, "heavenly fire" during a thunderstorm could not set fire to not only a tree, but also completely dry grass. And this, in turn, would not "suggest" to primitive man the idea of using fire for his practical needs.
On the other hand, if the concentration of oxygen in the earth's atmosphere exceeded 30-70%, then the very first accidental lightning strike could lead to catastrophic consequences, since in this case even extremely raw wood would burn like gunpowder. The results of the calculations show that both the upper and lower limits of the oxygen concentration at which normal combustion is possible in the atmosphere depend, in particular, on the total atmospheric pressure, on the magnitude of the earth's acceleration of force, gravity, and other parameters that determine the processes of heat and water and, therefore, combustion stability. So, as V. Khramov writes in the publication “Oxygen for Promstey” (magazine “Chemistry and Life”. - 1982. - # 12), the development of the mind on our planet was determined not only by the evolution of Homo sapiens as a biological species, but also by changes that endured by the Earth and its atmosphere. And if at a certain moment of evolution the external levels would not have been suitable, then the legendary Prometheus, who stole the heavenly fire for people and was punished by the gods for that, simply physically could not give people the fire that made them omnipotent ... And yet, why are necessary for the combustion process such harsh conditions? How were they realized: natural or artificial? Fifth. By now, it can be said that it has been unequivocally established that modern life on our planet exists in the presence of a whole complex of unique conditions and parameters.
Let's continue talking about the air shell that surrounds our planet. The earth's atmosphere consists of a mixture of various gases, which at sea level occupy by volume: nitrogen - 78%, oxygen - 21, argon - 1, carbon dioxide - 0.03%. The remaining components - hydrogen, helium, xenon, krypton, methane, neon and others - make up millionths of a percent. Particularly important are volumetric variables such as water vapor and ozone. About 55% of the energy of solar radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere and the earth's surface and then, after a number of transformations, is radiated into the world space in the infrared region of the spectrum. The ozone belt in the upper atmosphere serves as a reliable shield that keeps all life on the planet from the deadly hard ultraviolet radiation of the Sun. In addition, Earth's infrared radiation is strongly absorbed by water vapor, carbon dioxide and ozone. This so-called greenhouse effect is also of great importance: without it, the average temperature of the earth's surface would be 40C lower and life on Earth would become impossible. Sixth. It is known that the course of biological reactions that make up the essence of the vital activity of any organism is regulated by enzymes. Some of them can work in a wide range of temperatures, others require stability. Among these thermal conservators are enzymes that regulate respiration, digestion, metabolism, i.e. key life processes.
Evolution decreed that these enzymes show maximum efficiency most often in the temperature range from 30 to 40C. If the temperature is lower, then they are not effective, if higher, they are destroyed. Therefore, this temperature is considered normal for humans and the family of warm-blooded animals, which include mammals and birds. The quite definite optical composition of the atmosphere is also important for the possibility of the existence of life. Atmospheric pollution is one of the significant dangers to life on Earth. Atmospheric pollution is “helped” by the industrial activity of human civilization and volcanic eruptions. Suffice it to say that only one explosion of the El Chichon volcano in Mexico in 1982 threw out a huge cloud of ash and gases with a high content of chlorine, which spread around the globe.
Such events change the chemical properties and optical characteristics of the atmosphere for many years. So, we cannot answer the questions posed. One thing is clear, ideal conditions for the development of life have been created on Earth. But by whom? Reasonable forces unknown to us today or Nature itself, surrounding us from all sides and part of which we ourselves are? .. Incredibly, but there are, according to the candidate of geological and mineralogy sciences I. Yanitsky (Rabotnitsa. -1990.- b 8, article "A. Chizhevsky. Cosmos and delusion"), data on the interference in our life of Nature, which affects the imperfect human system and inflicts "blows" on the weakest places. There are many examples of this. Here's one… For no apparent reason, on November 15, 1988, a radio telescope with a diameter of 91.5 meters, which had been operating at the Greenback Observatory (USA) for more than 25 years, collapsed. Fortunately, there were no human casualties.
The results of the investigation showed that cracks in the metal plate connecting the telescope bowl to the bearing at the top of one of its two supports became the cause of the destruction. Cracks, as it turned out, were impossible to detect without dismantling the entire structure. We can also recall the strongest earthquake of 1988 in Northern Armenia, which destroyed the cities of Spitak and Leninakan, or the tragic explosion in Bashkiria in 1989 of a cloud of gases escaping from the product pipeline. Janitsky puts forward in this case an exceptionally original, but really “crazy” idea. He believes that the Earth is a living and, possibly, intelligent substance (organism) that exchanges information with the center of the Galaxy, as well as with the Sun ... For this, channels are used that go from the surface of the Earth to its core (their depth is about 3 thousand km, and the width is several tens of kilometers). In places where the channels exit, cyclones and anticyclones, earthquakes, water hammers and even ... unidentified flying objects (UFOs), which are nothing more than “creations” of the living Earth, most often occur. The energy arising in the core of the Earth is transformed in the channels into fluctuations in gravity on the surface. And gravity anomalies (gravitational impulse) as a kind of laser beams leave the Earth into distant outer spaces ... Humanity has recently begun to cause real concern to the Earth (nuclear explosions in the bowels, drying up of the seas, for example, the Aral Sea, drilling of super-deep wells, laying channels and transferring runoff rivers, storage of various toxic and radioactive substances in the Earth, etc. etc.). Earthquakes, hurricanes, ozone holes, an increase in solar activity - all this is a reaction and methods of self-treatment of the Earth from annoying low-organized creatures - people, i.e. us with you. Restless humanity, like viruses and bacteria, began to “persecute” the Earth, and it reacts on them in response ... Yes, we live on a strange, rather strange planet, people who consider themselves the crown of living beings living next to us. Is it so?..
The only natural terrestrial satellite is fraught with many secrets. And one of the most interesting mysteries is the theory that the Moon is an artificial satellite of the Earth.
The team of our site, adhering to scientific views, definitely denies the artificial origin of our satellite, however, in this article we will talk about the incredible arguments put forward by supporters of such a theory.
The theory of the artificial origin of the moon
Scientists from the USSR put forward the theory that the moon is of artificial origin. It happened back in the 60s. 20th century, but this hypothesis is still popular today.
It is not possible to calculate by computer the conditions for the birth of the Moon: its dimensions and orbit are incompatible, therefore, either the satellite was created in an unnatural way, or it is an interesting cosmic “whim”.
The most important argument is the significant size of the Moon, almost equal to ¼ of our planet. This is atypical for space - all other objects have their satellites are always much smaller than the host planet.
The distance from the earth's surface to the Moon is also strange: the size of the latter is visually the same as the diameter of the Sun, which causes solar eclipses. But the oddities don't end there either. For example, a chemical analysis of dust from a rock fragment showed a difference in its composition from the rock itself, which is contrary to common sense: if the dust appeared as a result of the destruction of rock blocks, then they must be identical.

The age of our satellite is unknown. It is possible that he is much older than not only us, but also the Sun. Studies show that some lunar rocks were formed more than 5 billion years ago, but the dust that settled on them is even older. Another mystery: some samples of the lunar soil turned out to be magnetized, but there is no magnetic field on the Moon. The birth in March 1971 of a large cloud of steam that floated over the surface of the satellite for almost 14 hours and had an area of about 100 square meters remained a mystery. km.
origin theory
There are 4 theories of the birth of the moon:
- The earth satellite is a fragment of our planet. This hypothesis raises some questions because of the apparent differences in the nature of these bodies.
- The satellite was formed simultaneously with the Earth, from the same cosmic proto-cloud. But in this case, they also had to be similar.
- The moon flew into the field of action of the forces of attraction of our planet from space. Against this version, the strikingly round shape of the lunar orbit and the small distance between these bodies speaks. Scientists have proven that a celestial body of similar mass, attracted by the Earth's gravity and began to move around the Earth in a natural orbit, would rather turn in an elliptical trajectory.
- The satellite is designed by an intelligent being. Which is extremely doubtful, since we have not yet met any intelligent creatures other than humans. And humanity is not yet capable of building such facilities.
However, there are several ideas, each of which, supporters of the artificial origin of the moon, call the proof of their theory.
surface curvature
The strange curvature of the lunar surface has not yet been explained.
The conducted studies give the right to assert that the earth satellite can be a geometric body with a hollow center. Since a natural object cannot exist in such conditions for so long without collapsing, it was suggested that the outer crust of the Moon is made of a strong metal frame at least 30 km thick. This was indirectly proven by the presence of a large amount of titanium in the lunar soil.

Some scientists are confused by the large number of craters on the moon.
Their appearance is understandable: they arose as a result of collisions with other celestial bodies. The Earth has repeatedly experienced this, however, in our case, flying meteorites and asteroids encounter a many-kilometer layer of the atmosphere on their way, and relatively small fragments of the body reach the surface.
The moon has no atmosphere, and according to the laws of physics, its collisions with other space objects must be catastrophic. But all lunar craters are shallow. Even among the largest of them, having a diameter of 150 km, there are none that would be deeper than 4 km, while computer calculations show that their depth should be at least 50 km. As if a solid core does not allow "destroyers" to penetrate deep into the satellite.
Geographic asymmetry
A lot of questions are raised by the lunar seas, which are spaces filled with solid lava.
Their appearance would be understandable if our satellite were a hot astronomical object with a liquid interior. However, there are currently no signs of volcanic activity on the Moon.
Even more mysterious is the asymmetry in the location of the lunar seas: 4/5 of their number are on the visible side of the satellite. But the dark side bears a lot more relief elements - mountain ranges and craters.
The moon is a spaceship
This theory is one of the most incredible. According to her, this object is a body the size of a small planet of artificial origin, a spaceship with a full-fledged ecosphere inside itself. It was created by an extraterrestrial civilization, which overtook us in development by millions or even billions of years. This astroengineering structure flew to us in order to study the migration paths of intelligent life in the Universe, as well as to limit contacts between different galactic races.
From the Moon, the Earth is always visible in the same sector of the sky, so the satellite is an excellent base for observing humanity. Of course, no one found evidence of this fabulous theory.
The presence of mascons
Mascons are points on the lunar surface where the substance is denser or there is simply more of it than in the surrounding areas. On the Moon, they are located mainly under the seas, and above them the gravitational attraction changes significantly, but the reasons for their appearance are unknown. The existence of Mascons was noted by the crew of the Apollo 8 spacecraft, which made the first ever manned flight around an earth satellite.

low density
The density of the lunar firmament is 60% of a similar terrestrial parameter, and this is another hypothetical evidence that the satellite is allegedly hollow inside.
An interesting fact is described in the scientific literature. In 1969, the Apollo 12 station ejected a descent module onto the surface of the satellite. The blow caused by this action provoked a moonquake, and after that the celestial body began to make a sound similar to the trill of a bell. The verse of this strange signal only an hour later. Based on this, the researchers suggested that the Moon either does not have a core at all, or it has an ultralight core.
All lunar images posted on official websites in the public domain are first retouched
Surprising is the fact that from Earth orbit you can take a picture that clearly shows the number of a house or car, but most of the photos of the Moon are of poor quality.
The first suspicions of retouching appeared after the Chinese lunar rover "Jade Hare" published images of the satellite's surface, which turned out to be not gray, but brown. From a distance, any space object without water, vegetation and atmosphere will look silvery - reflected sunlight is responsible for this effect. When looking at it from a close distance, it will still have some kind of coloring.
Photos of the surface of the Moon taken by American astronauts show us a strict black and white nature - white or grayish in areas illuminated by the Sun and dark in the shadows. The impossibility of the soil to have the same color everywhere leads to the conclusion that all official lunar images were processed in a graphics editor. The most logical explanation for this is that experts remove the natural color of the surface and mask its structure in order not to give out any details whose entry into the field of view of earthlings is undesirable.
In fact, everything is explained not by a conspiracy of scientists posting retouched images, but simply by using different photo filters when processing images for scientific purposes.
We want to emphasize once again that theories about the artificial origin of the Moon are the usual inventions of conspiracy and conspiracy lovers, which have nothing to do with the scientific view.
It is supposed to illuminate the Earth in two years.
Specialists representing the Research Institute of Aerospace Sciences and Microelectronics in the Chinese city of Chengdu said that by 2020 they plan to launch a satellite designed for lighting into orbit. The spacecraft, which is unofficially called the "artificial moon", is intended to be an alternative to street lamps.
The satellite will reportedly be eight times brighter than the moon, and its light will illuminate an area with a diameter of 10 to 80 kilometers. Reportedly, the concept of an "artificial moon" - a huge mirror that reflects sunlight - has long been in the mind of a French artist, and a few years ago, Chinese engineers decided to make something similar a reality. As stated, the satellite can be ready for use in two years.
It is worth noting that Internet users attacked the idea with criticism. Many agreed that an "artificial moon" would exacerbate an already increasingly pressing problem - light pollution. Already, this phenomenon is considered the cause of many problems. In particular, an excess of light at night can cause headaches, stress, and other adverse effects for a person. Also, light at night leads to disturbances in ecosystems - for example, sometimes it prevents nocturnal insects from navigating, as well as disorienting migrating birds. In addition, excessive light at night interferes with professional and amateur astronomical observations. Even a "regular" moon during a period close to the full moon can interfere with the observation of the meteor shower - for example, this will happen this coming weekend.
However, the developers assure that the radiance of the artificial moon will most of all resemble the soft light of the setting sun, so, as they say, it should not interfere with people and animals.
