The Barren Moon

COSMIC MESSAGE
This photo, taken by Apollo 17 astronauts orbiting the Moon in 1972, shows the barren lunar surface around the Eratosthenes and Copernicus craters. This stark, lifeless view is common now. However, in 1835, a New York newspaper sensationally reported life on the Moon, a story intended to boost its circulation.
