Is our moon artificial? The lesser known smoking gun fact

a reply to: Cobaltic1978

Telling children he thought it was artificial. For getting all the dates wrong.

The moon is not artificial. It once was a planet that has been replaced.

I believe the current theory is that the moon is a piece of earth that was severed in an asteroid collision way back in the planet's past.

I believe the current theory is that the moon is a piece of earth that was severed in an asteroid collision way back in the planet's past.

The hypothesis is that a mars-sized proto-planet (with the hypothetical name of "Theia") ran into a very early proto-Earth with a glancing blow, shattering Theia into pieces and shaving off some pieces of the proto-Earth. The pieces of Theia and some pieces of proto-Earth that were left over (that stayed gravitationally bound to Earth) coalesced to form the Moon.

It happened so early in Earth's history (and the Earth was made molten afterwards) that no sign of the collision remains on Earth.

Theia -- Wikipedia Article

The Theia Hypothesis: New Evidence Emerges that Earth and Moon Were Once the Same

Moon Created by Giant Collision, Studies Confirm

In the pic above if you look at a typical large crater on the moon it doesn't have much depth to it. The surface looks like a flat pancake with a rim. If we look at the epic centre of crater above we don't see a physical sign of where the impact epic was focused we just see a flat pancake surface, as if beneath there is a very hard dense surface that doesn't give.

Then we see as pic below some cases with a smaller crater in the large crater. The large crater isn't littered with the smaller craters so it suggests the larger crater is relatively a more recent creation in the moons history. Or is it the other way around, imagine if the whole moon in its earlier history had the pancake exterior smooth look and what we are seeing is the result of cycles of mining. The mining would create the topology of the smaller craters in the pancake surfaces. Then once is a while when the surface becomes over mined with craters, they will come along rinse and repeat by create a new large pancake crater which re- surfaces an new area for mining activity. The resurface effects creates the rim around the large pancake area, therefore seemly giving the impression formed by an meteor impact.

Your teacher should have been sanctioned for discussing his beliefs with impressionable youngsters.

sanctioned?
you mean like Galileo, got sanctioned [or sectioned] for discussing his beliefs in writing, he got off lightly though, giordano bruno was burnt at the stake,for being a moving earth kook. The astronomer and professor at Bologna Cecco d'Ascoli got "flamed" too by the RC church in 1327 for daring to suggest that men may live on the other side of the world. in other words for believing the world was round.

how like the RCC, western materialist scientismists have become,

BURN THE HERETICS!!!!!

and here's your TORQUEMADA PRIZE! WITCHY! [OOOOH THE IRONY!]

One minor question, if you please.

Were the space suits in the LM when it crashed?

Thanking you in advance.

There's no way a human made the moon.

that's some fallacy you just tossed in i'm sure there's a name for it...

wackier than that avatar of yours [which is actually kinda cool, but you know what i mean]

We can also look at native American oral history where they discuss the fact there was a point in time where the moon was not present.

Apollonius of Rhodes mentioned the time “when not all the orbs were yet in the heavens, before the Danai and Deukalion races came into existence, and only the Arcadians lived, of whom it is said that they dwelt on mountains and fed on acorns, before there was a moon.” (3) Plutarch wrote in The Roman Questions: “There were Arcadians of Evander’s following, the so-called pre-Lunar people.”(4) Similarly wrote Ovid: “The Arcadians are said to have possessed their land before the birth of Jove, and the folk is older than the Moon.” (5) Hippolytus refers to a legend that “Arcadia brought forth Pelasgus, of greater antiquity than the moon.”(6) Lucian in his Astrology says that “the Arcadians affirm in their folly that they are older than the moon.”(7) Censorinus also alludes to the time in the past when there was no moon in the sky.(8) Some allusions to the time before there was a Moon may be found also in the Scriptures. In Job 25:5 the grandeur of the Lord who “Makes peace in the heights” is praised and the time is mentioned “before [there was] a moon and it did not shine.” Also in Psalm 72:5 it is said: “Thou wast feared since [the time of] the sun and before [the time of] the moon, a generation of generations.” A “generation of generations” means a very long time. Of course, it is of no use to counter this psalm with the myth of the first chapter of Genesis, a tale brought down from exotic and later sources. The memory of a world without a moon lives in oral tradition among the Indians. The Indians of the Bogota highlands in the eastern Cordilleras of Colombia relate some of their tribal reminiscences to the time before there was a moon. “In the earliest times, when the moon was not yet in the heavens,” say the tribesmen of Chibchas.(9)

That's much more reasonable than the dust from the impact eventually settling and filling in part of the crater....


Nothing about the moon is artificial. Get over it.

Just because someone looks cool in eagle feathers doesn't mean they aren't talking crap.

Creation myths are just that, myths, and "a time before the moon" is as nice a way as any of saying 'like, ages ago'.

funny 'cause the a priori assumptions in that statement make the conclusion ironic

occams razor says the ancients were telling it like it is

it's only the aforementioned assumptions that give wings to the argument
"and a bird without wings winds up dinner"

just cause someones wearing a lab coat doesn't mean...

a reply to: genma First off our Moon does not have a name while other moons do. All the ATS posters should find a suitable name instead of saying the moooon.
I beleive our moon is the only moon that rotates in the direction it does. While all the other moons around planets rotate the oposit. Because of the orbit around the Earth and the way the moon rotates we only see the front. Weird right.

it's a fundamentalist or descriptive name, like Chastity, Hope, etc

Here is an image of our moon taken from the NORTH pole of the moon,...

This image contains anomalies...

Are ALL of the anomalies photoshopped?...

Are SOME of the anomalies photoshopped?...

Are NONE of the anomalies photoshopped?...

I don't have the answer...
But this image is cool anyways...

You can change the settings and add daylight to the entire surface. Resolution goes down to about 0.5m per pixel.

a reply to: AdmireTheDistance

I provided the highest res image I have...

why don't you take a look and THEN get back to me...

a reply to: coastlinekid

If you're going to claim there are things in that image that shouldn't be there you should really say what they are, and also provide a source to the original.

Here is the original, compiled from a mosaic of images taken by the Galileo probe:

www.nasa.gov...

I can see at least one fake item in it, the raised circle in Endymion crater - a crater that is visible from Earth and where such a raised circle would be seen by any number of amateur telescopes, and has been photographed by probes from a number of countries.

There is another fake raised circle in Bel'Kovich crater which is on the lunar far side, again multiple photographs exist of this from a range of probes.

The question is not 'are they faked'm because they are. The question is "Who faked them, and what garbage are they asking you to swallow?"

I'm not sure which parts of the spacesuit you mean exactly. The "garment" part of the spacesuit were being by the astronauts, who were already safely back in the command module when the Lunar Module was sent to crash back on the Moon.

The PLSS (Personal Life Support System) backpacks worn by the astronauts on the Moon were left on the Moon in order to conserve weight upon liftoff from the moon. They did this by attaching themselves first to the life support system inside the LM, then detaching themselves from the PLSS backpack life support, then throwing the PLSS out of the LM.

Besides the PLSS. there were many other items left behind on the moon to conserve weight upon liftoff, including hammers, picks, shovels, unused film cartridges, cameras, over-shoe boots, even the bags full of the astronauts' personal waste (feces and urine) and bags of vomit.

In this image taken from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, you can see the PLSS part of the two astronauts' spacesuits left behind by Apollo 17:

...or naming your dog "Deeohgee" (pronounced "Dee-Oh-Gee", or D-O-G).

For a cat, I suppose it would be "Siatey" (pronounced "See-ay-tee", or C-A-T).
