Is the Moon Hollow?

in #science8 years ago

Between 1969 and 1972, Apollo astronauts placed seismometers at their landing sites around the moon. NASA then used the spent spacecraft for science, directing these modules for controlled crashes into the Moon. These crashes caused moon-quakes. Scientists measured the vibrations moving through the Moon and found that it "rings like a bell".

Apollo 12 sent their spent lunar module back to the Moon. It impacted about 40 miles away from the Apollo 12 landing site with the force of one ton of TNT. The resulting shockwave built up and peaked in just eight minutes. Then it took an hour to fully dissipate.

Apollo 13 blasted their S-IVB module at the Moon 85 miles from Apollo 12’s ALSEP — It hit with the force of 11 and a half tons of TNT. The seismic impact peaked after seven minute with shockwaves 30 times greater and four times longer than those from Apollo 12’s lunar module impact. That's over 3 hours!! Let me say that again... The Moon rang like a bell for over 3 hours!! Have you ever heard of an earthquake lasting 3 hours??? It has been theorized that this can only occur if the Moon is hollow.

FACT: Hollow structures do not form naturally in outer space.

44 Years Later... Why No Return Missions?

Only 6 Apollo missions landed on the moon (11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17). Only 12 people have ever walked on the moon (1969 - 1972). After Apollo 17, the Apollo missions ended abruptly. Apollo missions 18, 19, 20 were cancelled. For the past 44 years, no one has walked on the moon. Did Nasa find something on the Moon that caused a 44 year moratorium on manned deep space missions?

Answer: no.

The Hollow Moon hypothesis, or Spaceship Moon hypothesis, proposes that Earth's Moon is either wholly hollow or otherwise contains a substantial interior space. No scientific evidence exists to support the idea; seismic observations and other data collected since spacecraft began to orbit or land on the Moon indicate that it has a thin crust, extensive mantle and small, dense core, although overall it is much less dense than Earth.

If the moon is hollow why do we have ocean tides?

Because a hollow Moon still has mass. A hollow metal sphere made of a very dense metal alloy would still cause ocean tides.

So it's half hollow.

yup...beneath the crust the moon is made of cheese. Everyone knows that and it was confirmed. The international cartel of cheese manufactures succesfully lobbied against a return mission in fear of the competition of lunar cheese.

in other news..:
The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) began in the afternoon ... In the years before the 1883 eruption, seismic activity around the Krakatoa volcano was intense, with earthquakes felt as .... These air waves circled the globe several times and were still detectable on barographs five days later.

OK... now... Show me an earthquake lasting 3 hours.

read the article. the siesmic waves circle the earth several times...or...one could say..."the earth rang like a bell'.

New Madrid EarthQuake , began December 16, 1811, 0815 UTC (2:15 a.m.); lasted until February 7, 1812, 0945 UTC (3:45 a.m.);
From December 16, 1811 through March of 1812 there were over 2,000 earthquakes in the central Midwest, and between 6,000-10,000 earthquakes in the Bootheel of Missouri where New Madrid is located near the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.

Luna's synchronous rotation with Earth is very unique among planets and their satellites, if I remember correctly ...

I posted a link to a video claiming that Mars is developing an atmosphere, You may find it interesting. Cheers!
