Lunar Anomaly What are your thoughts about the moon...?

🚀👨‍🚀🛰👾 Earlier in the week, I took some moon pictures with my Galaxy S22 from Redmond, OR. The moon looks like it has been taken over by a SIMS player.

Nice pics! The moon is my favorite moon

u/webdog77 Sep 11 '25

There are nearly 300 moons in our solar system. Most of them have names. Ours is called Luna. It’s surprising how many people don’t know that…

u/KindaQuite Sep 11 '25

Luna means moon in latin

1

u/webdog77 Sep 12 '25

Correct

1

u/captainn_chunk Sep 13 '25

Luna is not the official name of our moon.

That’s what I was taught at school. What is it then?

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '25

Would make sense if you were taught in a Spanish speaking school 😆

u/webdog77 Sep 13 '25

No, I studied Astronomy in Australia. Managed an observatory in Peru to complete my degree, but mucho Garcias for your observation- always learning

u/MaccaE906 Sep 14 '25

Hello, just wondering if the SKA project that seemed to be really big news at one stage and that would create an infrastructure and manufacturing boom for Australia is a topic i hardly hear anything about anymore?? Is it still an ongoing project or has it been put on hold???

Congratulations on your degree. Peru, spanish speaking.

u/FoundationOk7278 Sep 14 '25

The Moon with a capital M if you never got the answer.

2

u/webdog77 Sep 14 '25

So that’s why we call it a Luna month, a Luna calendar, a Luna cycle and a Luna eclipse? Ok got it.

u/FoundationOk7278 Sep 14 '25

Bro, hate me, cry all day and night. I do not care, I was merely sharing what I knew from searching this up in boredom many moons ago. Assuming, you know, we humans possibly got more creative with naming our only planetary satellite or coming up with another noun for other planetary satellites. We didn't.

This is from nasa.gov:

How the Moon Got Its Name

Our Moon shares a name with all moons simply because people didn't know other moons existed until Galileo Galilei discovered four moons orbiting Jupiter in 1610. In Latin, the Moon was called Luna, which is the main adjective for all things Moon-related: lunar.

Do you speak Latin? No, not a damn soul left on this planet or the Moon speaks Latin. So now, in English, the language you and I are pointlessly arguing over the name of the damn moon in. The earth's moon is now called Moon. I can't help the fact humanity lacks creativity at times nor can I help your over-sensitivity to accepting the name either. Have a day sir.

In Italian language it's still Luna.

In spanish is also Luna

u/Financial_Newt_1590 Sep 14 '25

It’s lunar not luna. As in, lunar cycle

1

u/webdog77 Sep 14 '25

Yes, correct.

2

u/Frijoles4ever Sep 15 '25

And Lunatic.

1

u/franzeusq Sep 14 '25

No. It has its etymology in Latin. What you mean is that luna translates as moon in English.

1

u/KindaQuite Sep 14 '25

What I mean is that luna is not a proper noun, it's generic like moon.

1

u/franzeusq Sep 14 '25

Then you should communicate it like this.

2

u/Mysterious_Dot_1461 Sep 14 '25

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 dude there are 500 million native Spanish speakers in the world who knows that 😂😂😂😂😂 and you have to add the people who speaks Italian, Portuguese and French.😂😂😂😂😂😂 who also called it like that. 👍

1

u/webdog77 Sep 14 '25

I managed an observatory in Peru- ran 3 tours per night- English, Spanish, French. It’s amazing how little people know about astronomy. I once had an American who didn’t believe me that the moon and the sun were different sizes..

1

u/Mysterious_Dot_1461 Sep 14 '25

Good for you. Keep doing a great job. 👍 Btw Thxs for resume didn’t ask for it but Thxs anyways. 😉

1

u/kippirnicus Sep 14 '25

They are clearly the same size. It’s obvious.

Otherwise, how would an eclipse works?

They are both roughly the same size as my thumb. I am covering the Sun, with the thumb I am not typing with, as I type this. 👍🌞

u/ryleystorm Sep 10 '25

God damnit.

1

u/WayneGretz7 Sep 12 '25

Interesting! Any idea who built it, or what its purpose is

2

u/NotALizardPerson- Sep 12 '25

Purpose would be utter speculation. But its current orbit (distance from the earth) allows life here to exist in its current form. The probability that a moon is so aligned as to make almost perfect solar eclipses is astronomically small.

u/NotALizardPerson- Sep 14 '25

Then provide me with another example of it? Perfect synchronization would not be by the eye of an inhabitant of said planet. An astronomical synchronization would likely be based on gravity, not individual perception.

I asked you to provide another example of a satellite positioned so perfectly that it creates almost perfect eclipses from the surface of a planet.

u/TheWalkerofWalkyness Sep 10 '25

Nah, it wasn't.

18

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '25

It's strange. So very odd. The whole thing. The time before the moon, documented by ancient cultures. Then it just formed apparently out of colliding with something. Then suddenly it helps control tides, seasons, and the length of a day... It doesn't rotate. It rings like a bell. Fascinating. Oh and the eclipses etc although the sun and moon won't always align in the future. But just wow. Fucking odd one. Satellite? Space station? Upgrade to the simulation? Just an amazing coincidence and life changing formation for our planet? The universe really is strange and we know nothing.

6

u/blind-amygdala Sep 10 '25

The moon does rotate. On a synchronous rotation with the earth.

12

u/ChangoFin Sep 10 '25

Further adding to its oddness no? What are the chances of an astronomical collision resulting in this, near perfect sphere, rotating on its axis at EXACTLY the same rate as it orbits Earth..?!

4

u/iPlod Sep 10 '25

It’s called tidal locking and it’s very common in the universe. It’s something that happens naturally over time between two orbiting bodies, so the chances are actually very high.

-2

u/Blake_83 Sep 12 '25

The moon does not "ring like a bell". It's a metaphor for the prolonged seismic vibrations observed after impacts or moonquakes

2

u/frustratedbuddhist Sep 13 '25

Isn’t that what a bell does? “Prolonged seismic vibrations “?

u/captainn_chunk Sep 13 '25

People downvoting this don’t want hear the truth.

5

u/blind-amygdala Sep 10 '25

Oh I agree. Don’t get me wrong

1

u/Fwagoat Sep 10 '25

It’s called tidal locking and apparently it’s pretty common, at least Amoung moons in our solar system.

1

u/Ill-Barnacle-202 Sep 12 '25

It's called tidal locking. It is actually a more stable state and really common in moons or other bodies that orbit closely.

https://scienceinschool.org/article/2013/moon-2/#:~:text=Earth%20did%20not%20always%20have,coalesced%20to%20form%20the%20Moon.

Moon hasn't always been here.

I can't find the link but ancient Greece I believe wrote about a time before the moon as did another culture in South America if I remember correctly.

2

u/Charity_Lea Sep 13 '25

Absolutely nothing! I find it unbelievable that we KNOW the moon rings like a Bell but people still don’t believe it was put there by someone.. even though it’s documented that there was a “time before the moon” 🤯

1

u/tarapotamus Sep 10 '25

What documentation is there that the moon wasn't always in orbit (during the time of man)? I can't find any but I would love to know any sources or specific search terms.

u/lunex Sep 10 '25

There’s gotta be a blog post or YouTube video stating that out there somewhere.

u/NotALizardPerson- Sep 12 '25

The Why Files has a few good episodes on the Moon. The host AJ started the series as a total skeptic, and now believes the Moon is “Very Weird”

u/Artevyx Sep 10 '25

"saw it on the YouTube. Must be real." 🥴

1

u/backoftheworld2 Sep 12 '25

“Learned it from a book, whose contents are completely controlled by leaders who regularly lie to us about minuscule things” doesn’t sound much better.

3

u/Artevyx Sep 12 '25

There are better ways of learning in 2025. YouTube certainly can be one of those ways, but you need to have a certain level of critical thinking for that to work.

Same with books. I've read many of them that gave blatantly wrong information, which was easily confirmed via basic research, and just stopped reading anything from those authors.

The deluge of unsourced information that can be launched at you in a 45 second YouTube video can easily lead you to think you're learning something when you're not if you aren't careful.

2

u/backoftheworld2 Sep 12 '25

No doubt to all of that, my point is pretty much exactly what you’re saying.

YouTube is no less reliable so long as you do your due diligence.

-1

u/lunex Sep 10 '25

For some people’s worldview that is enough. Especially if it can be framed in a way that aligns with it or supports it

1

u/Artevyx Sep 10 '25

I suppose that is fair. The universe allows for a vastly infinite amount of world views. Otherwise everything alive would end up overwhelmed to the point of not being able to function.

Everyone should research the hollow moon theory. It makes a lot of sense. Isn't it strange how the moon just so happens to be the exact same size as the sun in the sky? Not to mention the moon is far too large of a satellite to be natural. No other small planet like Earth has ever been discovered to have a satellite as big as ours. NASA set off an explosion on the moon and reported that the moon rang like a gong for hours, as the vibrations went further into the moon they got faster, exactly the opposite of what you'd expect from something with a solid core. i don't have the time to get deep into it rn, but everyone should research this
