Is something happening on the moon?

Posted on 07/26/2011 11:04:07 AM PDT by Scythian

On July 9th, 2011 this object was spotted either landing on or colliding into the moon. Give the video a moment, the video quality is quite good.

Then, on July 25, 2011 we get the "Volcano found on the Moon’s farside" news story ...

Interestingly, in the first video, the craft or meteor creates a huge plume when it lands/collides, then we get the meteor story.

Whatever was tracking over the surface of the moon was clearly visible in the first film.

We report, you decide.

It’s not my fault.
I didn’t know I made a collect call to another stellar system!

I’ve always wondered about these two verses. A volcano makes perfect sense.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. Joel 2:31, King James Bible

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come. Acts 2:20, King James Bible

Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

That’s one of my favorite shots. It’s from Apollo 16 and shows mission commander John Young about 4-5 feet off the ground as he snaps off a good Navy salute.

It’s from a now-forgotten time when the United States did great things.

Well, I hope no one was killed or injured!

You and I haven't forgotten it, and I'll bet those moments are still fresh in the memories of Young & Duke.

(I was waiting for someone to give me a reason to post the YouTube television footage shot from behind Captain Young when he took those leaps at the beginning of their first EVA.)

It's been quite a week for him, of course, having been the first Shuttle commander following a nine year long wait after his expedition to the Descartes Formation in 1972.

“It’s from a now-forgotten time when the United States did great things.”

I watched the Right Stuff again on Netflix. Really makes one both angry and in awe.
In awe what we accomplished and the can do attitude we had.

Sad to think that as of last week; we have no way to get in space. We have to ask the Russians for a ride. Just criminal when one thinks about it.

We should by now; having flights to space with “almost” airline like ease.
Instead, among other things; we spend our national treasure fixing up the same urban hellholes we spent money on in the 1960’s.
And they are much worse places today.

Hopefully your son is still at that easily impressionable age. Kids are so much fun at that age.

Pulling pranks on your kids, one of the most underrated pleasures of parenthood.

A Celestial Collision
by Larry Gedney
February 10, 1983
Early in the evening of June 18, 1178, a group of men near Canterbury, England, stood admiring the sliver of a new moon hanging low in the west. In terms they later described to a monk who recorded their sighting, "Suddenly a flaming torch sprang from the moon, spewing fire, hot coals and sparks." In continuing their description of the event, they reported that "The moon writhed like a wounded snake and finally took on a blackish appearance"... [P]lanetary scientist Jack Hartung of the State University of New York... gathered enough clues to suggest that a large asteroid... might have smacked into the moon just over the horizon on the back side. To test his suspicion, Hartung went to the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, and inspected Russian and American photographs of the moon's back side. Sure enough, in just the right place, he found a remarkably fresh crater, 12 miles across and twice as deep as the Grand Canyon. From it radiated white splatter marks for hundreds of miles... Such an impact, reason astrophysicists, would set the moon to ringing like a gong for thousands of years... At Texas' McDonald Observatory, astronomers Odile Calame and J. Derral Mulholland of the University of Texas find that the surface of the moon moves back and forth fully 80 feet! Such an oscillation clearly implies a collision with something large, sometime within the not-too-distant past, probably within the memory of mankind. The problem is that there is no way to peg the date exactly at 1178.
Thanks Scythian.

There have also been some telescope observations of lunar impacts. These 12th c observers weren’t aware of what they were seeing, yet recorded it anyway, luckily for us.
