Life on the Moon

 

In his purport to Text 26, Chapter 18, Canto 4 of the Bhagavat

Purana, Bhaktivedanta Swami states that " According to the Vedic

literature, it is not true that the Moon does not produce food or

that no living entity is living there." In the purport to Canto 4,

Chapter 22, Text 54, Bhaktivedanta Swami writes: " The Vedic

literature, however, repeatedly informs us that the Moon is full of

highly elevated inhabitants who are counted amongst the demigods. We

are therefore always in doubt about what kind of moon adventure the

modern scientists of this Earth have undertaken."

 

Here are some comments in relation to a lunar atmosphere from chapter

One of Joseph H. Cater's book The Ultimate Reality:

 

There was an interesting slip-up by NASA in the photo department. All

the photos taken by the Moon orbiter, except one, showed an absence

of any atmospheric fringe on the moon's horizon. The exception looked

like a picture taken from an Earth satellite. A blue atmospheric

fringe was very apparent along the far edge of the Moon!

 

.... ( Skip )

 

The dense Moon atmosphere is not as evident to viewers from Earth for

several reasons. The long days and nights, coupled with lack of any

very large bodies of water, mitigate the weather to the extent that

strong winds and large cloud formations never occur. However, small

clouds are seen occasionally drifting across the surface. Light

diffusion is caused largely by suspended particles in the atmosphere.

Due to the type of weather that exists on the Moon, there is a

paucity of dust particles in its atmosphere as compared to the

Earth's. Therefore, the Moon's atmosphere, although as dense on the

average as the Earth's, will not diffuse light to the extent

experienced on the Earth. Consequently, the scientific community has

been able to fool people with their claims of a practically

nonexistent Moon atmosphere. This is certainly amazing in view of the

fact that eclipses of the Sun do show a substantial Moon atmosphere

despite its modest ability to diffuse light. An atmospheric fringe is

clearly seen around the Moon's periphery. To squelch any claims that

this fringe is part of the Sun's corona, it should be noted that this

fringe also shows up in some photos of a partial eclipse where the

outline of the Moon is overlapped by the Sun. It is entirely possible

the Moon has even a denser atmosphere on the average than the Earth.

This possibility will be discussed in Part III [ of The Ultimate

Reality ].

 

Other powerful evidence of a dense Moon atmosphere came from

statements made by astronauts during Apollo missions. The following

case is a typical example. Prior to the publicized excursions to the

Moon, early astronauts had stated that the stars were not visible

above the atmosphere. This is to be expected. There is little or no

diffusion of light in outer space and therefore, the only stars that

could be seen would be those whose discs could be resolved. This

could only be done with powerful telescopes. An atmosphere functions

in a manner analogous to a lens. The light from a distant star is

diffused and spread out. Consequently, stars are visible because of a

greatly enlarged and distorted image of the disc caused by the

atmosphere.

 

On the Apollo 11 mission shortly before reaching the Moon, Armstrong

stated that he could see the crater Tycho clearly and that he could

see the sky all around the Moon, even on the rim of it where there is

no earthshine or sunshine. Collins then stated, "Now we're able to

see stars again and recognize constellations for the first time on

the trip .... The sky's full of stars ... it looks like its night

side on Earth." This means that after leaving the Earth the

astronauts could not see any stars until they got close enough to the

Moon to view them through the Moon's atmosphere! ( The pronounced

yellow color of the Moon has never been explained and apparently the

question as to why has never been asked. As will be shown later, this

is additional proof the Moon has more atmosphere per unit area than

does the Earth. It is interesting to note the Earth has a bluish

color when seen from outer space ).

 

An extensive Moon atmosphere means the Moon has a high gravity. Since

the Moon is supposedly a relatively small planet, a gravity as weak

as that attributed to it would be unable to hold an atmosphere of any

significance. It is not difficult to see why the evidence of a

substantial Moon atmosphere has been cheerfully ignored by scientists

past and present. A strong Moon gravity, of course, is not compatible

with orthodox physics.
