COSMIC MESSAGE
In 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts captured this view of the Moon, showing the stark surfaces around the Eratosthenes and Copernicus craters. While we know the Moon is barren, in 1835, the New York Sun published sensational stories of lunar life. These fictional reports were widely believed, aiming to boost the paper's circulation.
