The moon is an artificial satellite of the earth

Back in the 1960s, Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov from the USSR Academy of Sciences put forward a hypothesis that, in reality, our satellite was created by artificial means. This hypothesis has eight main postulates, popularly called "riddles", which analyze some of the most surprising moments regarding the satellite.

The first riddle of the moon: artificial moon or space exchange

In fact, the orbit of motion and the magnitude of the moon's satellite are physically almost impossible. If this were natural, one could argue that this is an extremely strange "whim" of the cosmos. This is due to the fact that the size of the Moon is equal to a quarter of the size of the Earth, and the ratio of the sizes of the satellite and the planet is always many times less. The distance from the Moon to the Earth is such that the sizes of the Sun and the Moon are visually the same. This allows us to observe such a rare event as a total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely covers the Sun. The same mathematical impossibility takes place in relation to the masses of both celestial bodies. If the Moon were a body that at a certain moment was attracted by the Earth and took on a natural orbit, then it would be expected that this orbit should be elliptical. Instead, it is strikingly round.

The second mystery of the moon: the unlikely curvature of the moon

The implausible curvature that the surface of the moon possesses is inexplicable. The moon is not a round body. The results of geological studies lead to the conclusion that this planetoid is actually a hollow sphere. Although it is, scientists still fail to explain how the moon can have such a strange structure without succumbing to destruction. One of the explanations proposed by the aforementioned scientists is that the lunar crust was made from a solid titanium frame. Indeed, the lunar crust and rocks have been proven to have extraordinary levels of titanium. According to Russian scientists Vasin and Shcherbakov, the thickness of the titanium layer is 30 km.

The third mystery of the moon: lunar craters

The explanation for the presence of a huge number of meteorite craters on the lunar surface is widely known - the absence of an atmosphere. Most of the cosmic bodies that try to penetrate the Earth meet kilometers of the atmosphere on their way, and everything ends with the "aggressor" disintegrating. The moon does not have the ability to protect its surface from the scars left by all meteorites crashing into it - craters of all sizes. What remains unexplained is the shallow depth that the aforementioned bodies were able to penetrate. Indeed, it looks as if a layer of extremely durable material 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 from the point of view of normal observation that craters at least 50 kilometers deep should have existed.

The fourth riddle of the Moon: "lunar seas"

How did the so-called "lunar seas" come about? These gigantic areas of solid lava that originate from the interior of the Moon could easily be explained if the Moon were a hot planet with a liquid interior, where it could arise after meteor impacts. But physically it is much more likely that the Moon, judging by its size, has always been a cold body. Another mystery is the location of the "lunar seas". Why 80% of them are on the visible side of the moon?

The fifth riddle of the moon: mascons

The gravitational pull on the lunar surface is not uniform. This effect was already noted by the crew of Apollo VIII when it flew around the zones of the lunar seas. Mascons (from "Mass Concentration" - concentration of mass) are places where a substance of higher density or in large quantities is believed to exist. This phenomenon is closely related to the lunar seas, since the mascons are located below them.

The sixth riddle of the moon: geographic asymmetry

A rather shocking fact in science, which still cannot be explained, is the geographic asymmetry of the lunar surface. The famous "dark" side of the moon has many more craters, mountains and landforms. In addition, as we have already mentioned, most of the seas, on the contrary, are located on the side that we can see.

Seventh riddle of the Moon: low density of the Moon

The density of our satellite is 60% of the density of the Earth. This fact, together with various studies, proves that the Moon is a hollow object. Moreover, several scientists have ventured to suggest that the aforementioned cavity is artificial. In fact, given the location of the surface layers that have been identified, scientists argue that the Moon looks like a planet that formed "in reverse", and some use this as an argument in favor of the theory of "fake casting."

Eighth riddle of the moon: origins

In the last century, for a long time, three theories of the origin of the moon were conventionally accepted. Currently, most of the scientific community has accepted the hypothesis of the artificial origin of the Moon's planetoid as no less reasonable than others.

One theory suggests that the Moon is a fragment of the Earth. But the huge differences in the nature of these two bodies make this theory practically untenable.

Another theory is that this celestial body was formed at the same time as the Earth, from the same cloud of cosmic gas. But the previous conclusion is also valid in relation to this judgment, since the Earth and the Moon should have at least a similar structure.

The third theory suggests that, while wandering through space, the Moon fell into gravity, which caught and turned her into her "captive". The big disadvantage of this explanation is that the Moon's orbit is nearly circular and cyclical. With such a phenomenon (when the satellite is "caught" by the planet), the orbit would be far enough from the center, or, at least, would be a kind of ellipsoid.

The fourth assumption is the most incredible of all, but, in any case, it can explain the various anomalies that are associated with the Earth's satellite, since if the Moon was designed by intelligent beings, then the physical laws to which it lends itself would not equally apply to other celestial bodies.

The riddles of the Moon, put forward by scientists Vasin and Shcherbakov, are just some real physical estimates of the anomalies of the Moon. In addition, there are many other video, photographic evidence and studies that give confidence to those who think about the possibility that our "natural" satellite is not.
