Today's article is on the Hollow Moon, a collection of similar pseudoscientific hypotheses that the Moon is either fully or partially hollow.

Some lunar folklore and early science fiction literature posits the idea of a hollow Moon, but conspiratorial theories have only advanced following the Space Race and first Moon landing. The breadth of the theory can range from a naturally cavernous or hollow Moon, to an artificial nature of the Moon as a creation by an ancient alien civilization. Alleged inconsistencies used to support the Hollow Moon theory have been solidly debunked with advanced lunar geology and seismology.

There has never been a true widespread belief in any culture that the moon was made of green cheese, nor any other cheese, for that matter.

Moon rabbit - Wikipedia

Today's article is on the Moon rabbit, a mythical figure based on the dark markings of the Moon. The Moon rabbit is especially popular across East Asian mythology, with regional depictions spanning from Sri Lanka to Cambodia to China; although the image of the rabbit operating a mortar and pestle remain constant, the exact contents differ by culture. For instance, the Chinese version of the tale depicts the Moon rabbit as Yutu, companion of the Moon goddess Chang'e who mixes the elixir of life; in Japanese and Korean folklore, the Moon rabbit is typically portrayed as making rice cakes. Moon rabbit stories are also present in some indigenous American cultures - it is unclear if they share a common origin or are the result of convergent observations.

You’re not allowed to plant things on the new moon because then it will grow slowly and don’t cut your hair on the full moon.

Thank you! :)
