The Moon has been a source of wonder, inspiration, comfort and light throughout humanity’s existence.
Viewed as a goddess by some, a god by others, it is connected to wisdom and intuition by Pagans, to the divine feminine in spirituality.
And astronomers want it gone.
Not all astronomers, but some.
Why? Because it’s too bright. While for many of us a full Moon is a striking addition to the night sky, for astronomers the bright light is a blinding one.
‘I hate the Moon,’ says Dr Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. ‘The Moon is evil, because we complain about how bright all these new satellites are, but the Moon is the brightest satellite of the Earth by far.

Then the daywalkers of the astronomy clan will complain that the moon is blocking their solar observations.
This guy may have a degree but he is bone deep stupid.
I hate the moon too. I want it to die.
There are no American interests on the moon. Moon people are corrupt Nazis. Not one more dime to fund moon people.
Imagine having observatories on the far side of the moon. Astronomers would love that!
Don't touch the moon;
I need it for loving.
Don't touch the stars;
I need them, too.
All you frantic scientists,
Find something else to do.
My life and love will not be comeplete
Without the moon and stars to glow.
All you frantic scientists,
Find somewhere else to go.
You'd better stop them scientists from researchin'
'Cause they done gone too far.
They've got these boys flying faster than sound,
They got the whole world in a war.
Man, this atomic energy sure scares me,
For if it can do what they claim,
You'd better start thinkin' 'bout savin' your soul
Ot Sam Johnson ain't my name!
Well, we can at least pretend there's one.
Let's Pretend There's a Moon--Don Walker & His Orchestra (1934)
Interesting list. I know some of those songs, although many of them newer releases that I'm not familiar with,
These would be some useful additions:
I am mostly lost on music after 1990.

I know that one
Such microaggressions against the moon are why the tides keep changing.
Stop it!
I've noticed that they now refer to the dark side of the moon as "the far side of the moon"--presumably because the older term is racist.
To the nerds who wish it was gone because they are upset that the moon’s brightness interferes with much of their observing time for faint objects, I say, as Brits would, “Hard cheese.”
We have taken even more for the moon.
The moon isn’t bright. It is the sun reflecting off the moon that makes it bright. So the culprit is the sun . So the solution is to get rid of the sun. It will solve 2 problems for these astronomers ( which I am sure most of them are climate change alarmists)- no brightness in the sky and no global warming ./sarc
