A close encounter with Earth typically results in either collision or altered trajectories. The one main problem is the capture mechanism. They are as follows:ġ.) Capture – This theory proposes that the Moon was captured by the gravitational pull of the Earth. “But, then, if the Moon is neither a true satellite of the Earth nor a captured one, what is it?” – Isaac Asimov, Asimov on Astronomy,” Doubleday, 1974 Mercury Press 1963 also quoted in Don Wilson’s book, Our Mysterious Spaceship Moon (1975).Ĭurrently there are around 5 widely discussed theories of Moon formation. “The chances of such a capture having been effected and the Moon then having taken up a nearly circular orbit about the Earth are too small to make such an eventuality credible… “What in blazes is our Moon doing way out there? It’s too far out to be a true satellite of Earth, it is too big to have been captured by the Earth.

Much controversy exists around the origin and makeup of the Moon today, and one of the largest arguments surrounding the satellite is the solidity (or lack thereof) of its center and the process by which we got our Moon in the first place. Most will likely never question the existence or makeup of the Moon as it does its usual routine of lighting up the night sky and circling the planet, however many scientists are not convinced that the narrative of its origin is as ‘solid’ as we are lead to believe. Peculiarly, certain phases of the Moon cycle are even known to affect our moods and emotions.

It provides us with the natural tidal cycles which are said to maintain the equilibrium of all species on the planet. The Moon is the eye in the sky to the inhabitants of Earth. Earth’s Moon is a Hollow Space Station: The Evidence
