There are a lot of things that we do know about the moon. Its roughly 1/6 the size of the planet earth. Scientists say that it is 4.6 billion years old and that its approximately 238.000 miles from the planet Earth. It was only recently discovered that their is some water on the moon trapped in ice at the poles. Men from the USA have walked six times on the lunar surface. But you know theres just as much we don't know about it. Where did it come from? Some people speculate it may even be a chunk of the earth that broke off. Many people believe that aliens once had bases on the moon and some believe they still visit it on a regular basis. A lot of people believe there are things still on the moon that our goverment knows about but hides or cover up.

Is the Shard a alien built structure or tower on the moon. If not what is it. It was found in a photo snaped by the Lunar Orbiter. There are a lot of things it could be everything from a active volcano to a meteorite inpact. No one knows for sure. Unless the US goverment knows but they are saying nothing.  

The photo is not real clear but it does seem to have definite structure to it. What is it and did intelligent life construct it. What was its purpose. The bottom of it looks like it has rows of support columns while a huge spire can be seen at its top pointing upward. Is it all thats left of a huge structure that was built by aliens.  

This photo came from the second Apollo Mission to land on the moon. The photo in question is of Alan Bean and it was taken by astronaut Pete Conrad. You can see the reflection of Conrad in the visor image in the photo. But what Nasa doesn't tell you is what is the item labeled artifact in the photo. It appears to be just hanging there in the photo and if you look closely you can see its shadow there in the photo. Some people even think it is a light fixture and that the moon landing was faked. What is it?

Strange things have been seen on the moon for centuries now. Flashes of light , spots of unusual color and lights that appear to move around the surface of the moon have all been witnessed by many persons for years. What causes these unusual events. In the photo above which was taken by a Japanease Astronomer several years ago a dark object was seen to appear to move north to south above the lunar surface. We have no satelites orbiting the moon. So what was the dark object in the photo. Was it a craft being flown by intelligent life. Or what was it. No one seems to know. But it was there.

Of all of the heavenly bodies that capture our attention and fascination , none has a greater influence on life on planet Earth than it’s own moon. When you think about it, we regard the moon with such powerful significance that unlike the moons of other planets which we give names, we only refer to our one and only orbiting orb as THE Moon. It is not a moon. To us, it is the one and only moon. And most people don't even realize that life on planet earth would not even exist as we know it with out the moon.

The moon works its way into our way of thinking, our feelings about romance, our poetry and literature and even how we feel about our day in day out lives in many cases. It is not only primitive societies that ascribe mood swings, changes in social conduct and changes in weather to the moon. Even today, a full moon can have a powerful effect on these forces which we acknowledge even if we cannot explain them scientifically.

The full Moon can bring about all kinds of changes on Earth. Have you ever saw the effect of a full moon on the oceans tides. It can cause really low tides at low tides and flood everything at high tide. The most obvious physical phenomenon that is directly affected by the gravity of the moon are the tides of the ocean. The tides are an integral part of how maritime life is regulated and the comings and goings of the fishing world in coastal communities. But not very many people know that at certain times of the year when the orbits of the earth bring the sun and moon into right alignment, there can even be tidal effect on inland bodies of water and even on the solid earth.

Eons ago, when the moon’s orbit was closer to the Earth, it was the effect of the moon that caused massive changes in the topography of the land and on continental drift as well. This reflects the powerful effect the moon has had on both human history and on global geographical history as well. Its a fact that more babies are born on the nights of a full moon than any other nights of the year. And people have been known to do all kinds of strange things on the nights of a full moon. And then there's that thing about werewolf's but that's a whole other story.

You may sometimes wonder where the moon came from. Was it a planet that traveled too close to Earth and was captured in our orbit? Actually, the prevailing theory of modern science is that the moon was the result of a large scale collision with the still developing Earth early in its development which caused this large “chuck” to spin off into an orbiting body. This explains the similarity in composition as has been confirmed by many of the moon exploratory space missions that were conducted by NASA. And there is another theory that the moon was actually a part of the early earth that got spun off into space. Where ever it came from the moon plays a great part in life on Earth. But this background also highlights another important influence the moon has had on Earth’s development that is seldom recognized and that is the stabilization of Earth’s orbital pattern.

Most know that Earth is not round but more of an egg shaped orb. To be blunt, the Earth would wobble. Without the moon’s stabilizing influence, this shape would shift dramatically so the tilt of the axis, that is the polar caps would shift dramatically with each seasonal rotation producing climacteric, changes much more violent and drastic than we are used to. It is possible that life as we know it could not have developed here had the moon not been there to “keep the Earth in line” and continue to stabilize the orbital position of the Earth so our climate could remain stable and mild. It is interesting to note that the Moon is a lot further away today than it once was.

At one time the Moon was very close to the Earth and was about three times the size it is now. So yes the Moon was much different in the night sky in early times. A third significant influence of the moon comes from that origin as coming from a collision which “ripped” the body of the moon from the developing core of the Earth. Because of this disruption in how the core of our planet developed, the metals that are usually intact in the core of the planet are actually scattered up and down the geography of the earth in diverse ways. Usually the metals of the planet are all concentrated deep in the core. But because of the collision which took the moon out to orbit, metals that have been crucial to the development of our industrial and technological cultures are readily available and easy for use to mine. This again, is something we can thank the presence of that lovely moon in the sky for. So the nest time you look up at the moon in the night sky you can look at it in a whole new way. And we hope you learned something interesting about the moon.
