Publisher's Synopsis
The Moon Hoax: Or A Discovery That The Moon Has A Vast Population Of Human Beings is a book written by Richard Adams Locke in 1859. The book is a satirical work that was originally published in the New York Sun as a series of articles. The articles claimed that the famous astronomer Sir John Herschel had discovered life on the moon using a new and powerful telescope. The articles went into great detail describing the lunar landscape and the various creatures that were said to inhabit it. The hoax was eventually exposed, but not before it had captured the imagination of the public. The Moon Hoax is an important work of American journalism and is widely regarded as one of the most famous hoaxes in history. The book provides a fascinating insight into the power of the media and the gullibility of the public.
