Chapter 1: Recent Discoveries About the Moon

The Moon is known to have a chilling average temperature of -173°F (-130°C), which poses a serious risk to humans exposed to space for even brief periods. The frigid conditions are even more extreme at the poles, where temperatures can drop to -270°F (-193°C). Interestingly, this notion has been discussed before in scientific circles.

Researchers have found minute soil particles on the Moon's surface, displaying the purity of volcanic rock, which is believed to stem from ancient lava flows. However, collecting these samples for analysis is challenging due to the lunar soil's extremely lightweight and porous nature, making it fragile and difficult to handle. In a significant breakthrough, NASA's Ames Research Center reported the discovery of liquid water on the lunar surface in May 2018.

Scott Milliron, in collaboration with a Scientific American article titled "How long has the Moon Lived? Why Is It Cold?, and How Did It Get So Cold?", has shed light on essential lunar information.

The Soviet Luna-16 was the first spacecraft to successfully orbit and land on the Moon. This metal sphere utilized the Moon's gravitational pull to adjust its orbit. By the time Luna-16 returned, it had traveled 3,733 km and had disintegrated into fragments.

Despite its successful orbit, the lunar surface it encountered was desolate. It wasn't until 1972, with the launch of Luna-17, that evidence surfaced indicating the presence of water beneath the Moon's surface. Throughout the 1970s, NASA's Apollo program began investigating claims that could challenge the prevailing narratives about life on the Moon.

Conspiracy theorists have long maintained that the Moon could be a habitable environment. NASA officials have acknowledged that with proper space suits, humans could potentially live and work on the lunar surface. Recently, NASA announced plans to send astronauts to the Moon by the 2030s, a goal that was also emphasized by the previous administration.

In a surprising twist, astrobiologists revealed that humans have not been conducting extensive explorations of the Moon as previously believed.

According to research from ESA scientists, the Moon is about ten times colder than earlier estimates suggested, with gravity being roughly six times weaker than previously thought. These findings could imply that prior assumptions about the Moon's surface composition might be incorrect.

Moreover, the coldest regions on the Moon are not located at the poles, but rather on the so-called 'dark side'—the hemisphere that remains out of view from Earth. It was once thought that this dark side was characterized by volcanic activity, but recent studies indicate that the Moon's rocks possess unique properties.

As fascination with Earth and Mars missions captivates the public, recent studies have begun to probe mysterious phenomena occurring at the lunar south pole. This topic is now actively discussed within the scientific community.

Between 2000 and 2011, powerful telescopes, including NASA's Hubble and the Magellan telescopes, detected unusual lights on the Moon. Some researchers refer to these as 'halo lights' due to their spherical appearance. Many speculate that these lights reflect the Moon's icy surfaces or frigid temperatures, although the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has found no signs of liquid water in those areas.

The reality is that the lunar “volatiles” were not detected in the ice samples that Apollo astronauts analyzed during the Apollo 11 mission. This raises serious questions about the transparency of NASA's communication regarding the Moon's true nature.

Approximately 25 craters on the Moon have ejecta deposits lying over 2.5 kilometers beneath the surface. If the entire Moon was covered by this ejecta, it would appear 14% darker than the Sun. The lighter appearance of the ejecta is due to the way the dark material refracts sunlight.

Lunar geologists, who specialize in studying the Moon, have made these discoveries for the first time, despite being frequently cited by mainstream media as "experts" on lunar geology.
