Feb 18, 2010 Lyrics: We're whalers on the moon, We carry a harpoon. But there ain't no whales So we tell tall tales And sing our whaling tune. WHALERS ON THE MOON! Moonbase Alpha - Duration: 3:13.
I think I'm going to want a source better than a UK rag to even believe that the phenomenon exists, let alone that scientists are actively working on it or have any conclusions.A friend of mine is a planetary geologist and director of a major project working with raw data from the NASA Dawn project studying Vesta and Ceres. He also directed a major space photography archive.
In the twenty years I've known him to do public outreach on space science, he's never mentioned flashes of light on the Moon. : I think I'm going to want a source better than a UK rag to even believe that the phenomenon exists, let alone that scientists are actively working on it or have any conclusions.A friend of mine is a planetary geologist and director of a major project working with raw data from the NASA Dawn project studying Vesta and Ceres.

In the twenty years I've known him to do public outreach on space science, he's never mentioned flashes of light on the Moon.Have you asked him about it? They've been observing flashe of light on the Moon since the 19th century, with some dating back a lot earlier.Scientific explanations: meteorites hitting the Moon, outgassings sending plumes of dust up into the light, volcanic eruptions (improbable but can be combined with the previous two, and ice (water or carbon dioxide) being melted by the Sun when exposed.
This is just the beginning of a rational and plausible list.On the other hand, you have Moon Bats, aliens, the Russians, the Chinese, and so forth. Relective surfaces on space debris that somehow ended up on the Moon's surface could combine various of these with the scientifically probable and explicable solutions.It is not an either/or problem.
It's more of a what if this and that and the other thing type problem.
