Hubble Resolves Expiration Date For Green Cheese Moon

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Using the new camera on the recently refitted Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have confirmed that the Moon is made of green cheese. The telling clue was the resolution of a numeric date after which the Moon may go bad. Controversy still exists, however, over whether the date resolved is an expiration date or just a "sell by" date. Happy April Fool's Day from the folks at APOD.
