1 . The Puzzle of the Moon's Origin: Scientists
have generally offered three major theories to
account for the moon in orbit around our planet.
All three are in serious trouble, but the least
likely theory emerged from the Apollo missions as
the favorite theory. One theory was that the
moon might have been born alongside the earth
out of the same cosmic cloud of gas dust about
4.6 billion years ago. Another theory was that
the moon was the earth's child, ripped out the
Pacific basin, possibly. Evidence gathered by the
Apollo program indicates though that the moon
and the earth differ greatly in composition.
Scientists now tend to lean toward the third
theory- that the moon was "captured" by the
earth's gravitational field and locked into orbit
ages ago. Opponents of the theory point to the
immensely difficult celestial mechanics involved in
such a capture. All of the theories are in doubt,
and none satisfactory. NASA scientist Dr. Robin
Brett sums it up best: "It seems much easier to
explain the nonexistence of the moon than its
existence."
2. The Puzzle of the Moon's Age: Incredibly, over
99 percent of the moon rocks brought back turned
out upon analysis to be older than 90 percent of
the oldest rocks that can be found on earth. The
first rock Neil Armstrong picked up after landing
on the Sea of Tranquility turned out to be more
than 3.6 billion years old. Other rocks turned out
to be even older; 4.3, 4.5, 4.6, and one even
alleged to be 5.3 billion years old! The oldest
rocks found on earth are about 3.7 billion years
old, and the area that the moon rocks came from
was thought by scientists to be one of the
youngest areas of the moon! Based on such
evidence, some scientists have concluded that the
moon was formed among the stars long before
our sun was born.
3 . The Puzzle Of How Moon Soil Could Be Older
Than Lunar Rocks: The mystery of the age of the
Moon is even more perplexing when rocks taken
from the Sea of Tranquillity were young compared
to the soil on which they rested. Upon analysis,
the soil proved to be at least a billion years
older. This would appear immpossible, since the
soil was powdered remains of the rocks lying
alongside it. Chemical analysis of the soil
revealed that the lunar soil did not come from the
rocks, but from somewhere else.
4 . The Puzzle of Why the Moon "Rings" like a
Hollow Sphere When a Large Object Hits It:
During the Apollo Moon missions, ascent stages of
lunar modules as well as the spent third stages of
rockets crashed on the hard surface of the moon.
Each time, these caused the moon, according to
NASA, to "ring like a gong or a bell." On one of
the Apollo 12 flights, reverberations lasted from
nearly an hour to as much as four hours. NASA is
reluctant to suggest that the moon may actually
be hollow, but can otherwise not explain this
strange fact.
5. The Puzzle of the Mystifying Maria of the
Moon: The dark areas of the moon are known as
maria (seas, as this is what they looked like to
early astronomers- dried-up seas). Some of
these maria form the familiar "man-in-the-
moon" and are strangely, located almost entirely
on one side of the moon. Astronauts found it
extremely difficult to drill into the surface of
these dark plainlike areas. Soil samples were
loaded with rear metals and elements like
titanium, zirconium, yttrium, and beryllium. This
dumbfounded scientists because these elements
require tremendous heat, approximately 4,500
degrees Fahrenheit, to melt and fuse with
surrounding rock, as it had.
6. The Puzzle of the Rustproof Iron Found on the
Moon: Samples brought back to earth by both
Soviet and American space probes contain pure
iron particles. The Soviets announced that pure
iron particles brought back by remote controlled
lunar probe Zond 20 have not oxidized even after
several years on earth. Pure iron particles that
do not rust are unheard of in the scientific world
(although there is a solid iron pillar of unknown
age in New Delhi, India, that has also never
rusted, and no one knows why).
7. The Puzzle of the Moon's High Radioactivity:
Apparently, the upper 8 miles of the moon's crust
are surprisingly radioactive. When Apollo 15
astronauts used thermal equipment, they got
unusually high readings, which indicated that the
heat flow near the Apennine Mountains was
rather hot. In fact, one lunar expert confessed:
"When we saw that we said, 'My God, this place is
about to melt! The core must be very hot.' " But
that is the puzzle. The core is not hot at all, but
cold (in fact, as was assumed, it is a hollow
sphere). The amount of radioactive materials on
the surface is not only "embarrassingly high" but,
difficult to account for. Where did all this hot
radioactive material (uranium, thorium, and
potassium) come from? And if it came from the
interior of the moon (unlikely), how did it get to
the moon's surface?
8. The Puzzle of the Immense Clouds of Water
Vapor on the Dry Moon: The few lunar excursions
indicated that the moon was a very dry world.
One lunar expert said that it was "a million times
as dry as the Gobi Desert." The early Apollo
missions did not find even the slightest trace of
water. But after Apollo 15, NASA experts were
stunned when a cloud of water vapor more than
100 square miles in size was detected on the
moon's surface. Red-faced scientists suggested
that two tiny tanks, abandoned on the moon by
U.S. astronauts, had somehow ruptured. But the
tanks could not have produced a cloud of such
magnitude. Nor would the astronauts' urine,
which had been dumped into the lunar skies, be
an answer. The water vapor appears to have
come from the moon's interior, according to
NASA. Mists, clouds and surface changes have
allegedly been seen on the moon over the years
by astronomers. For instance, six astronomers in
the last century have claimed to have seen a mist
which obscured details in the floor of the crater
Plato. Clouds on the moon are extremely odd,
because the moon's supposed small gravity (one
sixth of the earth's, claim many conventional
scientists and NASA) could not hold an atmosphere
or have any clouds on it at all.
9. The Puzzle of the Glassy Surface on the Moon:
Lunar explorations have revealed that much of
the moon's surface is covered with a glassy
glaze, which indicates that the moon's surface
has been scorched by an unknown source of
intense heat. As one scientist put it, the moon is
"paved with glass." The experts' analysis shows
this did not result from massive meteor
impactings. One explanation forwarded was that
an intense solar flare, of awesome proportions,
scorched the moon some 30,000 years or so ago.
Scientists have remarked that the glassy glaze is
not unlike that created by atomic weapons (the
high radiation of the moon should also be
considered in light of this theory).
10. The Puzzle of the Moon's Strange Magnetism:
Early lunar tests and studies indicated that the
moon had little or no magnetic field. Then lunar
rocks proved upon analysis to be strongly
magnetized. This was shocking to scientists who
had always assumed that the rocks had "some
very strange magnetic properties...which were
not expected." NASA can not explain where this
magnetic field came from.
11. The Puzzle of the Mysterious "Mascons" Inside
the Moon: In 1968, tracking data of the lunar
orbiters first indicated that massive
concentrations (mascons) existed under the
surface of the circular maria. NASA even
reported that the gravitational pull caused by
them was so pronounced that the spacecraft
passing overhead dipped slightly and accelerated
when flitting by the circular lunar plains, thus
revealing the existence of these hidden
structures, whatever they were. Scientists have
calculated that they are enormous concentrations
of dense, heavy matter centered like a bull's-eye
under the circular maria. As one scientist put it,
"No one seems to know quite what to do with
them."
