MOON - natural or ARTIFICIAL satellite?

When it comes to the Moon, there is always a dose of mystery.

She has always fascinated all the civilizations of the Globe and thus over time a series of legends, superstitions, and beliefs have been gathered. It is said that if the Moon had not existed, life on our planet would have had a different direction.

Imagine our world ravaged by hurricane-force winds, with temperatures ranging from sweltering heat to freezing. Imagine that the day lasted only six hours, in a world where only primitive life forms could evolve. This could have been our planet if the Moon had not existed… Could it?

But we are not the only ones with a satellite. There are at least 135 satellites in our solar system. Saturn has the most, 46, and at least 10 mysterious bodies orbiting around the Earth. Five are asteroids, temporarily held by the gravitational field, and four are probably remnants of the Apollo 13 rocket. The tenth and largest is the Moon. What is so special and mysterious about the Moon?

The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth and the fifth largest in the Solar System. It is, at the same time, the largest natural satellite of a planet in the Solar System compared to the sizes between it and the planet Earth. The Moon is the second densest satellite after Io, one of Jupiter’s satellites. In its synchronous rotation around the Earth, the Moon presents the same face, with small changes. Maximum distance to Earth: 406,720 kilometers; minimum distance to Earth: 336,375 kilometers; average distance to Earth: 384,400 kilometers; average diameter: 3476 kilometers; surface temperature: variable from 117 degrees C (in the middle of the day) to -173 degrees C (in the middle of the night). Atmosphere: non-existent.

The version accepted by most scientists regarding the origin of the Moon is that the Earth, just formed, would have collided with another body, almost the size of Mars. It is considered that our planet was not hit frontally but tangentially, being, as one would say, only “scalped”.

The remnants torn from the Earth would have spread in the form of a ring around the Earth, before agglomerating, giving birth to the Moon. But this is just a theory and although it seems logical at first sight, there are certain voices among scientists who claim that certain characteristics of the Moon do not match this presumption.

Moon — Space station

In 1970, Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov, two Russian researchers from the Soviet Academy of Sciences proposed the theory of the Moon as an alien ship. The two assumed that the Moon was a giant alien ship that had been covered with a rock to look like a natural satellite. The aliens, having new superior technology, were able to disguise their ship as a celestial body and launched it into orbit.
