Scientists Find Heat-Emitting Blob On The Far Side Of The Moon

Scientists announced in early July that an enormous, heat-emitting blob is currently sitting on the far side of the moon.
Though this is not the first time humans have stumbled upon the bizarre blob of heat-emitting granite, according to National Geographic, the news has once again surprised the scientific community. “We have discovered extra heat coming out of the ground at a location on the Moon believed to be a long dead volcano which last erupted over 3.5 billion years ago,” lead researcher Matt Siegler wrote in a press release regarding the discovery.
“It’s around 50km across, and the only solution that we can think of which produces that much heat is a large body of granite, a rock which forms when a magma body – the unerupted lava – below a volcano cools. Granite has high concentrations of radioactive elements like uranium and thorium compared to other rocks in the lunar crust, causing the heating we can sense at the lunar surface,” he continued.
The blob was discovered by an international team of researchers working with NASA. It was an unexpected discovery, as granite is almost completely absent in our known solar system except for here on Earth, the team wrote in Nature.
While this is all well and good, it is going to take a heck of a lot more evidence to convince me that the moon isn’t hollow. Just check out this video, and I’m sure you’ll feel exactly the same way:

No, Lizzo. This scientist was not ‘throwing shade’ at you.
He never even heard of you.
So, take a Chill Pill.

It’s Christie, for the green cheese!

My first thought: How did Hillary Clinton make it to the Moon?
Turns out it’s just a piece of granite. I’ll be honest. I’m a little disappointed.

Does it...
creeps
And leaps and glides and slides
Across the floor
Right through the door
And all around the wall
A splotch, a blotch
Be careful of the blob

Thanks Red Badger. No, Chris Christie hasn't been to the Moon, and regardless, he generates zero heat, even though he sweats all the time.

Don’t fret. It could still be the ‘beeste. In these matters I’ve learned to never take anything for granite.

Chris Christie has finally decided to do the right thing? Kudos to him if this story is true. 🤣
To: Red Badger
I thought Steve McQueen and Co. dropped The Blob somewhere in the Arctic.

No question, no other explanation makes sense.

That blob has been sneaking past NASA and scientists' eyes and evading being discovered, on the journey from a galaxy far, far away.
Step by step, little by little, and now, it's just one stop away from making its way onto planet Earth.
The Blob movie was not science fiction. It's real and it's making its way here, and getting ready to terrorize Earth's inhabitants. We must ge3t ready to do battle against it.
