The Moon

The Moon has always been a source of wonder for me, even from when I was just a little boy, looking up at the night sky in awe. As a university student, I delved deeper into the subject and studied Geology, learning about how the Sun, Earth, and all the planets came to be. I was particularly fascinated by the Moon, and even then, in the late 1990s, there was still no clear explanation for how it formed. The most widely accepted theory at the time was that a proto-planet called Theia collided with the infant Earth in a catastrophic event about 4.5 billion years ago, but even this idea had significant flaws.

The mysteries surrounding the Moon don't stop there. The presence of titanium in lunar rock, the remarkable resonance of the lunar landscape, and its coincidentally precise orbit are just some of the features that defy conventional scientific understanding. This collection of quotes from scientists, authors, researchers, NASA insiders, and star-gazers captures just how extraordinary the Moon truly is. And this video takes it to an entirely new level, showcasing its awe-inspiring beauty and endless enigmas.
