The Edinburgh Journal of Science had printed an amazing report in 1835, and The Sun newspaper in New York revealed it the American public. Sir John Herschel had built a great telescope in South Africa and with it discovered not only life on the Moon, but a civilization. (Or had he?)

Hi Mona, I love the sketches of the moon dwellers at the top of your article! Joy
That was a fun article and I think in the future when archeologists or anthropologists unearths our civilization, they are going to say, "What the heck were these people thinking?"
The drawings are fantastic.
Thanks for sharing.
