The Moon's Near Side
Earth's closest astronomical neighbor, the Moon, is still not fully
understood. The side facing us is covered with large round features, currently explained as the remnants of an early period of massive bombardment which later filled up with wide-ranging lakes of magma. Yet, it is a proven fact that such large scale lava infilling is a physical impossibility. Also intriguing is the presence of magnetospheres, located on the exact opposite side of several round features. How can magnetic poles possibly be created by impacts? It makes as much sense as the probability of such a massive bombardment period in the first place -- that is, none. There is no sense in the current explanation for our nearest, and most memorable, astronomical feature -- the Man in the Moon... |

ups.com... Earth's closest astronomical neighbor, the Moon, is still not fully understood. The side facing us is covered with large round features, currently explained as the remnants of an early period of massive bombardment which later filled up with wide-ranging lakes of magma. Yet, it is a proven fact that such large scale lava infilling is a physical impossibility. Oh yes? Proven by whom? Cites please. Also intriguing is the presence of magnetospheres, located on the exact opposite side of several round features. How can magnetic poles possibly be created by impacts? It makes as much sense as the probability of such a massive bombardment period in the first place -- that is, none. And your sources for this analysis are? There is no sense in the current explanation for our nearest, and most memorable, astronomical feature -- the Man in the Moon... Methinks you've been reading from the wrong (i.e. crackpot) sources. |
