| “ | Now, gentlemen, my theories against your proofs, which you have often found a pretty even bet, we have here something worth looking at: I was confident that if ever we found beings in human shape, it would be in this longitude, and that they would be provided by their Creator with some extraordinary powers of locomotion: first exchange for my number D. | „ |
Summary[]
In 1835, an early and interesting form of fake news made the rounds in a New York paper named "The Sun". It suggested that astronomer John Herschel, known for many real space breakthroughs, had invented a type of telescope capable of viewing the surface of the moon, and that these discoveries had been given to The Sun by a fictional companion of his named Andrew Grant. It describes strange forms of bison and beaver, but strangest of all a human-like civilisation in the moon - half man, half bat, named Vespertilio-homo. The widespread success of this hoax lead to its title becoming "The Great Moon Hoax".
