Japan detects gravity anomaly near the Moon

December 2nd 2008 20:49
Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon

The Japanese Space Agency has detected a gravity 'anomaly' on both the near side and the far side of the moon - no word on the dark side, as of yet, but Pink Floyd is preparing their arsenal of guitar-based weapons.


Read the press release!


From the article:

"Until now, the gravity anomaly of the far side of the Moon has not been understood well. The gravity anomaly, which was obscure before, has been clearly revealed through observations by the Kaguya mission. For instance, the gravity anomaly of a basin on the far side is found to be characterized by a negative anomaly in a ring like the Apollo basin."

The wording of that paragraph is a little misleading, as it suggests that there's something not quite right here, as if the Japanese have found a secret alien base, monitoring our transmissions for years, preparing to launch a parasitic attack on us.

In reality, though, the gravitational 'anomaly' is nothing more than more data to help map and understand the history of the moon:

"The latest observation data by the Kaguya will play a key role to promote the study of the origin and the evolution of the Moon. In addition, highly accurate lunar gravity distribution data will be useful for future lunar explorers.


*Gravity anomaly: The lunar gravity field is not homogenous. Any region of the Moon with a higher than expected mass density will produce a gravity anomaly."

So: nothing to worry about... there's not a black hole hiding out, chewing on the moon, increasing in size and threatening our existence. We'll continue on with our lives and the gravitational anomaly will just hang out, happy to be observed.

I for one welcome the alien overlords

... definitely an alien base there. You'll see.

We've finally stumbled onto ET and his family. Woop!

what is of far more importance, potentially, is the drift away of the moon, and the changes in our own electro-magnetic field. LINK moon drift

Far worse than an invasion of hungry "martians", would be if the theory of Hapgood, (backed by Einstein), is true, that when the Pole reversal happens, (and it has been slowly changing over 30 years now) that when it reaches a certain crucial point, it is not 'gentle and slow', as the official public scientific stance remains, but is sudden and violent... spinning the crust on the molten magma like a child's top!

Hence, the frozen woolly mammoth which was snap frozen, found today buried in the Artic region permafrost, and it had been eating buttercups...they don't grow up there... plus, the mammoth's hair was nto to protect it from the sever cod, which is solid core hair like a polar bear has, but it was hollow core hair, like an orangatang, which is to keep heat out.

Albert Einstein:
QUOTE:
I frequently receive communications from people who wish to consult me concerning their unpublished ideas. It goes without saying that these ideas are very seldom possessed of scientific validity. The very first communication, however, that I received from Mr. Hapgood electrified me. His idea is original, of great simplicity, and if it continues to prove itself of great importance to everything that is related to the history of the earth's surface. I think that this rather astonishing, even fascinating, idea deserves the serious attention of anyone who concerns himself with the theory of the Earth's development.
Einstein also wrote...

In a polar region there is a continual deposition of ice, which is not symmetrically distributed about the pole. The Earth's rotation acts on these unsymmetrically deposited masses [of ice], and produces centrifugal momentum that is transmitted to the rigid crust of the Earth. The constantly increasing centrifugal momentum produced in this way will, when it has reached a certain point, produce a movement of the Earth's crust over the rest of the Earth's body, and this will displace the polar regions toward the equator. UNQUOTE
Hapgood Theory: (an easy to read breakdown)(LINK crystal links

There have been changes in our gravity field noted, and the core has been suspected of slowing down , and there are new stronger waves being emitted, verical waves. Article LINK: thaindian news

The good thing is, if Hapgood is correct, then we won't have enough time to kiss our collective asses goodbye, when it finally snaps into a spin!

We live in interesting times...

WoW, is this the main cause that the formation of "Moon Smiley Face" happened?

Maybe alien overlords would be better than human politicians? Just a thought.

Ya think? Of course, they don't suggest anything of the sort in the paragraph, and therefore your statement does lack objectivity, but hey... it does look like there is something more to it than that, so good catch.
