How much do you know about the mystery of the moon?

Details of the top ten mysteries of the moon

Mystery of the origin of the moon: For the origin of the moon, scientists put forward three theories: capture theory, homology theory and earth division theory. They are all flawed, but the Apollo program helps to prove that the seemingly least possible theory is the best one. Some scientists believe that 4.6 billion years ago, the moon was born together with the earth from a cosmic dust. Another theory holds that the moon is the "child" of the earth and may have been "dug" from the Pacific Ocean. However, the results of Apollo's lunar exploration show that the structural components of the earth and the moon are very different, and some scientists have put forward another hypothesis, that is, the "capture theory." They believe that the moon accidentally broke into the earth's gravitational field and was locked in its current orbit. However, it is quite difficult to explain the mechanism of this process theoretically. Therefore, the above three theories are untenable. As Dr. Robin Brett said, "It's easier to explain that the moon doesn't exist than it does."

Mystery of the age of the moon: Surprisingly, the analysis of rock samples brought back from the moon shows that 99% of them are older than 90% of the oldest rocks on earth. The age of the first rock Armstrong picked up after landing in the silent sea was 3.6 billion years. Other rocks are 4.3 billion years old, 4.6 billion years old and 4.5 billion years old-almost as old as the earth and the solar system itself. The oldest rock on earth is 3.7 billion years old. 1973, a 5.3 billion-year-old moon rock was identified at the World Moon Symposium. What is even more puzzling is that these ancient rocks are taken from what scientists think is the youngest area on the moon. Based on this evidence, some scientists suggest that the moon was formed in interstellar space long before the formation of the earth.

The age of lunar soil is a bigger mystery than the age of rocks: the ancient rocks on the moon have been puzzling scientists, but compared with the soil around these rocks, the rocks are still young. According to analysis, the age of soil is at least 65.438+0 billion years older than that of rock. At first glance, this sounds impossible, because scientists believe that these soils were formed after rocks were crushed. However, after determining the chemical composition of rocks and soils, scientists found that these soils have nothing to do with rocks and seem to come from other places.

When a huge object attacks the moon, the moon will make a sound like a hollow ball: during the Apollo exploration, the third propeller of the abandoned rocket will bang on the surface of the moon. According to NASA documents, "every time this noise sounds like the sound of a big clock." When the lunar lander landed on a particularly dark plain, they found it very difficult to drill holes on the surface of the moon. After analysis, it is found that the soil sample contains a lot of rare metal titanium on the earth (it is used in supersonic jets and spaceships); Other hard metals, such as zirconium, iridium and beryllium, are also abundant. This puzzles scientists, because these metals will only blend with the surrounding rocks at very high temperatures-about 4,500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mystery of stainless steel: Moon rock samples also contain pure iron particles, which scientists believe are not from meteorites. Scientists in the former Soviet Union and the United States also found an even stranger phenomenon: these pure iron particles did not rust after being placed on the earth for 7 years. In science, pure iron that does not rust is unheard of.

Mystery of lunar radioactivity: The surface layer of the moon, which is 8 miles thick, is radioactive, which is also an amazing phenomenon. When Apollo 15 astronauts used thermometers, they found that the readings were surprisingly high, which indicated that the heat flow near Apennine Plain was really high. A scientist exclaimed, "my god, this land is going to melt!" The core of the moon must be hotter. " However, it is puzzling that the temperature in the center of the moon is not high. This heat is emitted by a large number of radioactive substances on the surface of the moon, but where do these radioactive substances (uranium, thallium and plutonium) come from? If they came from the center of the moon, how did they come to the surface of the moon?

Mystery of a lot of water vapor on the dry moon: the first few lunar explorations showed that the moon was a dry celestial body. A scientist once asserted that it is 654.38+00,000 times drier than the Gobi Desert. The previous Apollo missions did not find any traces of water on the surface of the moon. However, Apollo 15 scientists detected a water vapor mass with an area of 100 square mile on the surface of the moon. Red-faced scientists argue that this is caused by the leakage of two small water tanks abandoned by American astronauts on the moon. But how can such a small water tank produce such a large piece of water vapor? Of course it won't be astronaut urine-it will spray directly into the sky of the moon. Water vapor seems to come from the interior of the moon.

Mystery of the lunar glass surface: Apollo astronauts found that the lunar surface was covered with a layer of glassy substance in many places, which showed that the lunar surface seemed to be burnt by a fiery fireball. As one scientist pointed out: "The moon is covered with glass." Expert analysis has proved that this glassy substance is not produced by the impact of a huge meteorite. Some scientists think it is the result of the explosion of the sun-a miniature nova state.

Mystery of the Moon's Magnetic Field: Previous exploration and research show that the moon has almost no magnetic field, but the analysis of moon rocks proves that it has a strong magnetic field. This phenomenon puzzled scientists, and Dr. Paul Gast declared: "The rocks here have very strange magnetism ... which is completely unexpected." If the moon once had a magnetic field, it should have an iron core, but reliable evidence shows that it is impossible for the moon to have such an iron core; Moreover, it is impossible for the moon to obtain the magnetic field of other celestial bodies (such as the earth), because in that case, it must be very close to the earth, and then it will be torn to pieces by the earth's gravity.

Mystery of the mysterious "material gathering point" inside the moon: 1968, the probe flying around the moon showed the existence of "material gathering structure" under the surface of the moon for the first time. When the spacecraft flies over these structures, due to its huge gravity, the spacecraft will fly slightly below the prescribed orbit, and when it leaves these structures, it will accelerate slightly, which clearly shows the existence of this material gathering structure and its huge mass. Scientists believe that these structures are like a bull's-eye, made of heavy elements and hidden under the "sea" on the surface of the moon. As a scientist said, "no one seems to know how to deal with them."

The Beautiful Fantasy of Mankind: Weaving a Web on the Moon (Su Yueqiong)

From January to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival is particularly bright. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the evening breeze brings intoxicating flowers. When people walk in the silver moonlight, taste delicious moon cakes and look up at the bright moon, some people will have a whimsy: can a computer network be established on the moon when a human base is established on the moon in 2 1 century? Is this lunar network also connected to the earth's internet? This is really an interesting question.

According to the forecast report of the European Space Agency, the gravity on the moon is small, and the moon rocks are rich in mineral resources, which is of great mining value. Therefore, the moon will become the scientific research and industrial center of the solar system in the next 200 years. At present, astronauts from Europe, the United States and Japan are conducting scientific experiments for future lunar migration and development, and are preparing to build a lunar human base in 2030. NASA will allocate 10 00 billion dollars to build a lunar city on the moon, and plans to immigrate more than 1000 people to the moon in 2007, and finally reach more than 1000 people. For this reason, communication personnel are also making various preparations for the establishment of the future lunar computer network, so that when the future lunar human base is completed, the lunar network can shoulder the heavy responsibility of lunar communication and "moon-earth communication" between the moon and the earth.

1On April 9th, 999, Daniel Golding, director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, predicted in the opening speech of "Space Week" held by Rensselaer Institute of Technology, Indiana that at the beginning of the 20th century, Americans could travel in space through the interplanetary Internet at home, including the moon, Mars and even the whole solar system. Golding said that this is not a scientific fantasy, but NASA's vision for the application of science and technology in the 2 1 century. The research plan of interplanetary Internet was first put forward by NASA in 1994, and this remarkable plan was supported by relevant government departments and business giants. The main content of this plan is to connect all satellite communication facilities running in space orbit through the interplanetary internet to form a huge communication network, which is connected with the Internet on the earth. In 2003, after the inter-satellite internet is completed, data will not be transmitted from a single satellite to the earth as it is now, thus greatly improving the transmission efficiency of satellite communication. Coincidentally, world-class IT giants also thought of popularizing the Internet to the moon, Mars, space and even the whole universe. Vinton Cerf, the father of the Internet and senior vice president of MCI Communication Company, recently attended the 2 1 century international space development seminar held in Tokyo. When he talked about the establishment of the Internet beyond the earth, he was shocked: "Now it is time to consider how to establish the Internet beyond the earth." He also said that the interplanetary Internet design is an important part of NASA's mission to mars program, and the interplanetary protocol test between the Earth and the Moon can be conducted as early as 200 1. He estimated that humans could land on Mars as early as 2030. The distance between the earth and Mars is about 80 million kilometers, so there will be a delay of up to 40 minutes to transmit information from the earth to Mars, and it will take up to 80 minutes once and for all. In addition, the communication delay between the earth and other distant constellations such as Jupiter and Saturn will be longer. Therefore, VintonCerf believes that it is very necessary to establish a new interstellar Internet communication system.

At present, the United States is far ahead in the field of satellite communication. American scientists imagine that artificial earth satellites can be used as relay stations to connect the communication network between the moon and the earth like links. However, Japan has made great achievements in the development of the moon landing spacecraft. Japanese scientists imagine that it is advisable to use the moon landing spacecraft as a relay station to make the connection between the moon and the earth a bridge.

The plan of American and Japanese scientists aims to connect the largest international computer internet on the earth to the moon, weave the internet into a giant network that runs through the moon and the earth, make the online "moon-earth communication" bloom more brilliantly, make a bright moon rise in the online world, and make the whole world wrapped in silver.

Legends of the Moon and Alien Civilization

There are many international reports that the United States intentionally concealed some information about landing on the moon. For example, it is reported that the next photo was taken when the United States landed on the moon for the first time, and astronauts found more than 20 human footprints on the surface of the moon. So many people in the world think that America knows many things that people don't. What are these things? Judging from the news that has been gradually revealed, the United States is likely to terminate its moon landing program.

During the "Apollo 15" landing on the moon, the receiver on the earth heard a long whistle. With the change of tone, a phrase consisting of twenty syllables was heard and repeated many times. In this regard, NASA did not explain.

1987 In March, scientists in the former Soviet Union announced a very surprising news. In the lunar crater far away from the earth, there is an American heavy bomber during World War II. The news was learned by scientists in the former Soviet Union from a set of photos sent back by satellites. Judging from the photos, the fuselage and wings of the plane have obvious traces of the US Air Force. Some parts of the plane have been damaged by meteorites, but the fuselage is still very intact. However, on July 22, 1988, the plane mysteriously disappeared from the moon, which puzzled scientists. It is said that the United States has organized experts to secretly investigate the bomber incident on the moon. Although some news media later reported that this photo on the back of the moon was a deceptive work composed of two photos, they could not provide conclusive evidence.

During their space voyage, the Soviet Union and the United States met many civilizations of unknown origin. 1May, 984 14, Salute 6, a space laboratory of the former Soviet Union, met this civilization in space orbit. The nearest distance between the two sides is only 100 meter. It is said that astronauts of the former Soviet Union have witnessed these brown-skinned outer space creatures. After 34 days of sailing together, the spherical spacecraft finally left and disappeared into the boundless sky.

Recently, the space research department of the former Soviet Union claimed that the American space shuttle Discovery was followed by two UFOs during its voyage. It is said that after Discovery entered orbit, two UFOs followed, and when the space shuttle arrived in the designated space, the two UFOs disappeared. However, when Discovery returned, they reappeared and did not leave until Discovery successfully entered the atmosphere and returned to the ground.

1843, a man named John silossa once observed a crater with a diameter of 12km on the moon and named it "Linnai" crater, but after several decades, people strangely found that "Linnai" crater was gradually disappearing. In the 20th century, according to American Apollo15,4 km. Some people think that this phenomenon is caused by the lunar volcano, but astrophysics has confirmed that the lunar volcano stopped tens of millions of years ago. If the moon had an inner core, it would have cooled and solidified long ago, and there can be no volcanic activity at this stage. Therefore, people think that the change of Linnai crater is caused by human factors. To put it bluntly, the moon man transformed its protective layer.

The Mid Autumn Festival moon

When the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, watching and talking about the moon has become an enduring topic.

Tracing back to the origin of enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, according to "Preface to Poems on the Moon in Chang 'an Opera", "When autumn is here, summer is in winter; August is in autumn, and the season begins and ends in Meng; Fifteen nights in the middle of the month. If you take it from the sky, it will be cold and hot, and if you take it from the number of months, it will be round. " In other words, August 15th is in the middle of August in autumn, hence the name "Mid-Autumn Festival". Why do people like to enjoy the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival? A poem says, "There is a bright moon at four o'clock, so why celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?". Yaotai Baojian should be the supreme head of Yuyu; Release Bai Haoqian feet and scatter into space. Everything comes into my eyes, the stars avoid glory, and the wind dew helps calm down. "

Seasonally, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the "Autumn Harvest Festival", and the grain sown in summer and spring should be harvested in autumn. Since ancient times, people have been drinking and dancing in this season to celebrate the harvest with joy, which is described in China's earliest collection of poems, The Book of Songs. From the origin, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a "Moon Festival", which originated from the worship of nature by ancient humans. In the ritual system of ancient emperors, there were two festivals in the Spring and Autumn Period: the Spring Festival for the sun and the Mid-Autumn Festival for the moon. At first, the day of offering sacrifices to the moon was at the "autumnal equinox", and August was different every year, so there was not necessarily a moon at the autumnal equinox. Sacrificing the moon without it is a great spoil, and August 15 is gradually established as the day of sacrificing the moon. From the scientific observation, the inclination of the earth and the sun increases in autumn, and the warm and humid air flow over China gradually fades, while the northwest wind is still very weak. In this way, when the moisture has gone and the dust has not yet risen, the air is particularly fresh, the sky is particularly clean and the moon looks round and big, which is the best time to enjoy the moon. Just as the ancient poem said, "Bright and bright, but enjoying the mid-autumn moon in ancient and modern times, I wonder if it is moonlight?" The sky is clear. "

Folk Mid-Autumn Festival activities began in Wei and Jin Dynasties and flourished in Tang and Song Dynasties. According to "Old News" in Song Dynasty, "When did the Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Appreciation Play begin?" Archaeologists began to write poems in Du Zimei. "Look at the Tang poetry, there are indeed many poems about the Mid-Autumn Festival. For example, Wang Jianyou said, "The moon is like a circle, the color is gradually condensed, and the jade basin is full of water. Let the family sleep through the night. "Xu Ning's poem said:" When the autumn moon is full in August, Chang 'e corrects fresh cassia twig; "A year is not now day and night, and I can't sleep before the Twelve Peaks."

In the Song Dynasty, the folk Mid-Autumn Festival became more prosperous. "Tokyo Dream" describes the grand occasion of enjoying the moon in Kyoto in the Northern Song Dynasty as follows: "On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, your family decorated the terrace, and the people competed for food, playing and singing the moon song, and hearing it thousands of miles away, the play sat until dawn." "New Notes on Drunken Weng" records: "Children of Qingcheng people can go to the twelfth and thirteenth, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, all dressed as adults. They go upstairs or in Yue Bai in the atrium, each with its own period: men are willing to go to themoon early and climb Xiangui; Women want to look like Chang 'e and round like the bright moon. "

After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the full moon, people will put moon cakes, pomelos, pomegranates, taro, walnuts, peanuts, watermelons and other fruits on the courtyards and balconies, enjoy the moon and talk with each other until the bright moon is in the sky, and then share the fruits for the moon, which is enjoyable. In the minority areas of China, Mid-Autumn Festival also has colorful activities, such as "Yue Bai", "Naughty Moon", "Walking Moon" and "Stealing Moon".

The blue sky is like a wash, and the full moon is like a plate. When people enjoy the moon, they can't help but miss their relatives who have traveled abroad and lived in a foreign land. Therefore, Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "Reunion Festival". Many ancient poems expressed people's thoughts at this time. Yin Wengui, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote "The Night of August 15": "Wan Li has nine continents without clouds, and the most reunion night is the Mid-Autumn Festival." Wang Jian's poem "Looking at the Moon at Fifteen Nights and Sending it to Du Langzhong" says: "Tonight, the moon is full, and I don't know whose home Qiu Si is." China people have always regarded family reunion, relatives and friends reunion, and * * * is extremely precious in enjoying family happiness, which has always been called "reunion of those who spend a good night together".

Some Moon Poems in Ancient China

The bright moon shines that night, promoting the singing of the East Wall. Yuheng refers to Meng Dong, and the stars are vivid. Thousands of years of exposure to weeds, the season suddenly changes. In the woods of Qiu Chan, this mysterious bird died peacefully. Yesterday, I was a friend of the same family, holding high and shaking six purlins. If you don't want to join hands, you will abandon me like a relic. There is a fight between the north and the south, and the morning glory does not bear the yoke. What's the use of not having a solid name? (Nineteen ancient poems (7))

Moon how bright, shine on my bed. Too sad to sleep, wandering around in clothes. Although the guests are happy, it is better to turn back early. Who should you sue when you leave home alone? Back to my room, tears stained my clothes. (Nineteen Ancient Poems (Nineteen))

Listening to the moon is too clear, and listening to the moon by the building is the clearest. Skyscrapers turn silently, and medicines jingle. The music is wide and cold, and the axe is tinkling. Occasionally, a fragrance blew away Chang 'e's laughter (Listening to Moon Poems)

Newly cracked, fresh and clean as frost and snow. Cut into acacia fans, round like the bright moon. In and out of your arms, shaking the breeze. I am often afraid that the autumn festival will come, and the coolness will take away the heat. If you give up your donation, your kindness will be lost. (Ban Jieyu's "Song of Complaints")

There are crows in Bai Shu and osmanthus in Coody Leng in the atrium. Tonight, the moon is full of hope, and I don't know who Qiu Si will fall into. (Wang Jian's "Looking at the Moon at Fifteen Nights")

Zhang's Moonlit Night on the Spring River (omitted)

A bright moon rises from Qilian Mountain and crosses the vast sea of clouds. The mighty wind blew Wan Li and crossed Yumen Pass. At that time, Han soldiers pointed at the mountain road, and Tubo coveted the vast territory of Qinghai. This is a land of wars in past dynasties, and few soldiers can survive. The soldiers turned and looked at the border, thinking of home with longing eyes. The soldier's wife looked at the tower and lamented when she would see her relatives far away. (Guan Shanyue of Li Bai)

Flowers in the next pot of wine, no friends, drink alone. Raise my cup, I invite the bright moon, which brings me its shadow and makes us three people. The moon doesn't know how to drink, but the shadow in front of it is behind. I have to mingle with them and enjoy the happiness of spring. The song I sing is bright and wandering, and I dance the shadow before wandering. Wake up and be happy together, and disperse after drunkenness. I am willing to stay with them forever and forget the harm of friendship, just like the Milky Way. (Li Bai's "Drinking the Moon Alone")

The foot of my bed is shining so brightly. Is there frost already? I looked up at the moon and looked down, feeling nostalgic. (Li Bai's Silent Night Thinking)

The moonlight is deeper than half a house, and the big dipper is withered south. Tonight, through the green screen window, I know that spring is warm and the sound of insects is fresh. (Liu, Moonlit Night)

Flying mirrors everywhere, returning to the heart to fold the sword. Turn the tent and travel far, climb the laurel and ascend to heaven. The waterway is suspected of frost and snow, and the forest is covered with feathers. At this time, I look forward to the white rabbit, and I want to count the autumnal equinox. (Du Fu's Night of August 15th (I))

The drums of the defenders cut off people's communication, and a lonely goose was singing in autumn in the frontier. The dew turns to frost tonight, and the moonlight at home is bright! Brothers are scattered, and no one can ask about life and death. Letters sent to Luoyang city are often not delivered, and wars often do not stop. (Du Fu's Remembering Brothers on a Moonlit Night)

On the evening of August 15 last year, next to the apricot garden by Qujiang Pool. On the night of August 15 this year, in front of Songpu Shatou Water Hall. Where is the hometown in the northwest and the full moon in the southeast. When the breeze sighs, no one will, and tonight is as clear as usual. (Bai Juyi's "Looking at the Moon on the Pavilion on the 15th of August")

The moon, at this time is at sea, over the end of the world. People who love hate long nights and sleepless nights and miss their loved ones. Put out the candle to love this moonlit room, and I wander in the deep night dew in my clothes. You can't have beautiful moonlight, just want to meet you in your dreams. (Zhang Jiuling's "Looking at the Moon and Thinking of a Man in the Distance")

Just beginning to hear the chirping of the southern geese, the chirping of cicadas has disappeared, and I climbed to the top, looking as far as I can, and the water is natural. The frost goddess and the moon are not afraid of the cold, and they are more beautiful and pure in the cold and frost recreation. (Li Shangyin's Frost Moon)

Autumn moon hangs in the sky and Guanghua is wet. The surprised magpie has not settled, and the flying fireflies are rolling in. The courtyard is sparsely shaded, and the sound of the neighboring night is urgent. What is the ceremony? Look at the sky and stand. (Meng Haoran, "Autumn Night under the Moon")

Seeing the moon in the dust is also idle, and love is between the fairy houses in the clear autumn. Long and cold, standing on the highest mountain at this time. Blue is nothing but Feng Yun, and Songshan grows in the water. A group of people are moving leisurely, and Gogoing is thousands of miles away. Shao Jun led me to the jade altar and invited the real fairy officer to come from afar. The clouds are moving under the stars, and it's cold and happy. Jin Xin gradually moved eastward, and the shadow of the wheel still rose. It is difficult to get back together when it is absolutely beautiful, and he should be disappointed on this day. (Liu Yuxi's "Playing the Moon in Taoyuan on the 15th of August")

When did the moon begin to appear? I take my glass from a distance. I don't know about palaces in the sky. What year is tonight? I'm willing to ride the wind to the sky, I'm afraid I can't stand the cold for nine days in a pavilion of fine jade. Dance and enjoy the shadow of the moon, which is in the world. The moon turned into a scarlet pavilion, hanging low on the carved window, shining on the sleepy self. The moon should not have any resentment against people. Why is it round when people are gone? People are sad and happy, and they are separated and reunited. The moon will darken or shine, and it will become round or round. Nothing is perfect, even in the past. I hope people will live for a long time and have a good scenery thousands of miles away. (Su Shi's Water Tune)

Go to the West Building before it's too late for Yun Zheyue. But when he called, the jade flute cracked with a loud noise. Who let curling float in the world, the most pitiful to the husband. Ask Chang 'e, lonely and cold, do you have any worries? It should be Fahua. Jade liquid is full, and Joan's cup is slippery. Dance with long sleeves, sing and swallow saliva. Nine times out of ten, it still needs grinding. It's so late to make a long circle, and human feelings may not see farewell. Put the past and hate together and return to it. (Xin Qiji's "Man Jiang Hong Mid-Autumn Festival Farewell")
