I wrote a column years ago about this first interesting aspect of the moon.There are amateur astronomers and speculators who will claim after having watched the moon and photographed it daily that there are manmade-type structures on the moon which change, appear and disappear over the course of months. It has been with us through thick and thin so much that most of us probably do not even give it a second thought especially since we have virtually ignored it after the series of Apollo missions which landed on it.There has been so much speculation about the nature of the moon and some fanciful thoughts about its role in our lives. It creates eclipses of the sun and we create lunar eclipses every so often on its surface. It controls our tides and provides a constant variation in our night sky. I just find it fascinating.As most of you know, the moon is our companion as we revolve around the sun. Take this as a morning diversion and remember, these are primarily opinions and definitely do not reflect my beliefs nor those of anyone else I know. I decided to do some research to figure out where this theory may have originated, and I will attempt to portray both perspectives fairly. I have to admit though while I found the theories the gentleman purported to be interesting, I am still not convinced that his beliefs are accurate. I was listening to a back episode of Coast to Coast AM from over the holiday week, and the guest who was on the show was discussing the idea of a hollow moon, something I heard about and dismissed many years ago.
