The moon is a strange object and satellite of the Earth in every sense. Let's take a closer look at the facts.
1. The moon is a natural object
Our companion has enough oddities.
A satellite too large for the Earth and could not be formed together with the Earth. It is not excluded that Stepanenko (chispa1707) is right - this is the core of the dead planet Phaethon, the fragments of which are the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. But how was the Earth able to capture this core into its orbit? And the core must be heavy. And the Moon is clearly not that massive. From this version, we turn to the version about the artificial transportation of this planet to Earth. At the same time, the Moon was given unique parameters of its rotation around its own axis and around the Earth (the periods are equal).
There is a version by Valentin Pavlov that the inner planets of the solar system and the moon were previously in orbit around Saturn, its satellites, read the article "The Moon's Birthday".
Lunar craters - perhaps not from falling asteroids. I believe that these are funnels from its degassing. Like frying holes in a pancake. Argument: almost all lunar craters are circular. But all meteorites and asteroids cannot fall strictly perpendicular to the surface, most of them will be tangential and there will not be such an amount of round craters.

There is one but. At very high falling velocities, the surface of a solid, with whom the object collides, behaves not like a solid, but like a liquid. If you shoot a gun into the water at an angle and shoot the process with a camera at a high frame rate per second, and then view it in slow motion, you will see: a round-shaped splash has formed.
The same is indicated by cumulative warheads: when a projectile explodes on the surface of steel armor, the speed and force of movement of the substance of the reverse jet stream simply splashes the steel. I think this version should not be discarded …
The moon reflects light at full moon across the entire surface of the visible disk. And according to the laws of optics, the edges of the disk should be dim and barely visible. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection - this law of optics is violated by the Moon. Although, scientists put forward a version that the whole thing is in the lunar soil. He has such properties.

Everything is logical here in reflection and radiation after heating. But why does the Moon shine as a full disk in visible reflected light?
The counterclockwise rotation of the visible disk of the Moon was discussed in the article: "Precession or nutation of the Moon's rotation axis?" In the comments, we figured out that this is not a mystery. But getting to the bottom of explanations for a non-specialist on this issue is not easy.
Librations of the Moon when moving in orbit.
There is information about moonquakes - a seismic vibration of the lunar surface.
Moonquakes are much weaker than earthquakes and occur less frequently, but they can be up to 5.5 on the Richter scale (an earthquake of this magnitude can damage buildings). The vibrations caused by shallow moonquakes usually last more than 10 minutes, while the vibrations caused by earthquakes last only one to two minutes.
The study of the Moon by seismometers was carried out during the Apollo-12, Apollo-14, Apollo-15 and Apollo-16 space missions. But since the flights of Apollo themselves are questionable for many, this information may turn out to be at least incomplete, or even generally unreliable.
On the Moon there are concentrated metallic masses that create gravitational and magnetic anomalies of the Moon - "mascons". (According to the latest data, under the lunar surface there are five huge objects ranging in size from 8 to 22 kilometers. Some of them were identified in the infrared range by the European research satellite "COSMIK LEB" in 1999
Commonly known oddities of the moon:
- Almost perfectly circular trajectory of the moon around the earth. Almost round moon shape.
- Perfect coincidence of the rotation of the moon around its axis and rotation around the earth, as a result of which we see only one side of the moon.
- Perfect match of the size of the moon with the size of the visible solar disk from the earth. For this reason, we see the so-called corona in a solar eclipse.
- With those dimensions and that distance from the Earth, the Moon should have a very low density, but the depth of the meteorite craters indicates a rather dense composition, which with such a size of the Moon would make it much heavier, and hence the distance from the Earth should have been greater.
Look here at the list of ever launched spacecraft to the Moon, their purpose, achieved-not achieved results and the result. It looks like the moon has something wrong with gravity. There are so many cases of hard landings and loss of spacecraft, the inability to enter the lunar orbit, failures in obtaining artificial lunar satellites from spacecraft. Another interesting fact: 60-70s of the 20th century. - it's just a boom in the study of the moon. What is it? Race for the USSR and the USA to conquer our satellite? 1976 - the last flight of our apparatus "Luna-24". Then there was a complete lull until 1990. The Luna spacecraft delivered about 300 g of the lunar soil to the Earth. It would be more, if not the constant failures of lunar landing vehicles.
At the moment, LROs, a pair of ARTEMIS satellites and the Chang'e-5T1 service module remain operational in the lunar orbit. For 58 years of exploration of the Moon, 110 missions were sent to it by 6 different countries, of which 52 failed.
Here is a story about the second stage of the study of the Moon, already with the participation of other countries such as Japan, China and ESA (European Space Agency). But there are no more photographs, much less video of the lunar surface. There are mostly monochrome images from the 60s and 70s on the web.
Here's an interesting fact:
On October 9, at 11:31 am UTC, 2009, the upper stage with a residual mass of 2305 kg at a speed of about 2.5 km / s crashed into the surface of the lunar crater Cabeo near the south pole, after which, just four minutes later … LCROSS followed. The reason for such a strange order by NASA with its devices was simple: with the help of the upper stage, a cloud of gas and dust was raised, which was analyzed by LCROSS until it collided with the surface. The whole process was observed from a height by LRO, telescopes on Earth, Hubble and the European satellite Odin (this time everything went great and all telescopes recorded flares, and from Earth, amateur astronomers who had a telescope could also observe this process with an aperture of 25 cm or more).
Have you seen detailed photographs of the moon taken by the Hubble telescope anywhere? Yes, also such an event as the collision of a spacecraft with the Moon? Or the Apollo landing sites? With such detail that no one would have any doubts: were the Americans on the moon or not ?! Why is all this not shown and declared as achievements of modern technologies?
More or less high-quality image allegedly taken by the Hubble telescope.
2. The moon is an artificial body
If we add up all the oddities of the Moon, then the monogeous will even conclude that this is an artificial body, or at least it was dragged to Earth. Perhaps from the orbit of Jupiter, Saturn, where there are many moons of this size. Terrestrial planets like Venus do not have satellites, and Mars does not have such large ones.
Some esotericists report that inside the moon there is equipment that makes earthlings a mystery. The Deep Book of Pyatibrat, as an example. But this is all unprovable.
In conclusion, I recommend watching these videos. In them, the strangeness of the moon is shown in all its glory and in accessible language:
