The Doctor Who moon landing was faked! It was all filmed in a studio! Wake up, sheeple!
I think someone’s been watching Ancient Aliens - Space Station Moon, a junk-science TV-shit-show.
Damn … I hope not, that’s where I get the bulk of my information for my newsletter …
This explains a number of the OP’s other posts.
The craters on the moon (and any other geologically dead, atmospherless body) are essentially fractal in size–look at a photo of 10,000 square miles of the moon’s surface and you’ll see craters that look huge, craters that look medium, and craters that look tiny. Look at a photo of 1,000 square miles of the moon’s surface and you’ll see craters that look huge, craters that look medium, and craters that look tiny. Look at a photo of 1,00 square miles of the moon’s surface and you’ll see craters that look huge, craters that look medium, and craters that look tiny. Look at a photo of 10 square miles of the moon’s surface and you’ll see craters that look huge, craters that look medium, and craters that look tiny. Look at a photo of 1 square miles of the moon’s surface and you’ll see craters that look huge, craters that look medium, and craters that look tiny. Look at a photo of 100 square feet of the moon’s surface and you’ll see craters that look huge, craters that look medium, and craters that look tiny. Look at a photo of a pebble from the moon’s surface and you’ll see craters that look huge, craters that look medium, and craters that look tiny.
It makes no sense to say that craters on the moon are the same depth because craters range from pinpricks caused by grains of dust up to over a thousand miles across. But let’s–for the sake of argument–ignore the craters that are smaller than a city. Aitken Basin is 8 miles deep. Among the most visible craters from Earth are Tycho (3 miles deep) and Copernicus (2.34 miles deep.) Apollo 11 landed near a pair of craters that are around 18 miles across and a bit less than a mile deep. So the depths are not almost the same.
Here is a good article on how large impact craters form.
Junk-science is giving that show too much credit. Scientainment, maybe?
Alternative Science
Those are homeopathic craters. The smaller ones are more potent.
And the depths we observe for craters now is almost certainly not the original depth of the craters, anyway, because deeper craters will fill with molten rock, making them shallower than they were originally, and over time, isostasy will tend to lower the edges of the crate and raise the center a bit, as well.
Yes, just off hand I seemed to recall that, of the 10 Saturnian Satellites discovered by 1967 (Janus, Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan… ) all but the outer two were tidally locked. From this list, though Iapetus is, and only Phoebe is not.
The list as a whole seems incomplete, perhaps because some of the Solar System moons are smallish and relatively newly known, hence not yet confirmed to be tidally locked.
The ultimate example, of course is Charon, both tidally locked and locking – of Pluto!
Yes, that’s the transient crater.
Thanks.
The moon’s not hollow, it’s filled with piñata candy.
If that’s true, then:
A) Why haven’t meteoroids penetrated the shell;
B) If the shell has been penetrated, why don’t we know about it?
C) Where’s all the candy? :dubious:
Also, because of the lower gravity on the Moon, the cheese underlayment is more fluid … the whey doesn’t get properly drained like here on Earth …
Hmm, I’m beginning to sense a pattern here… However, I just can’t afford to check into this. An 8x10 color glossy photograph with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one costs around $3.99. I don’t even want to think of the cost of a 100 square foot color glossy photo, mush less a 10,000 square mile one!
There was a sci-fi novel I remember (though the name escapes me) about the moon actually being a huge space station whose crew had mutinied or something and gone to earth to get out of some galactic war.
I haven’t heard the bit about the supposed ringing when they crashed the probes…my WAG on that is, like the rest of the OP it’s a misunderstanding of what they were saying. IIRC, the DID actually crash some probes and listen, but they did so in the same way they use seismic charges on earth then listen to the echoes to see what’s below the surface. The tidally locked bit isn’t really that astonishing or noteworthy, and the depth of the craters is just wrong…they aren’t all the same.
So, you came to the realization that it was a typical case of American Blind Astronomy?
NASA’s keeping it all for themselves (the selfish bastards).
I know where I’m going for Halloween. Where’s the nearest NASA front door?
