together we shall travel the Stars wait
we can’t do that fine
well then let’s just go explore that
weird space rock that hangs out near our
planet you had gone in a moon we’ve gone
to the moon then a welcome to
watchmojo.com it we’re counting down the
top five myths about the moon before we
begin we published new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content number five it goes around the
earth in a day all right so thanks to
historical badasses Copernicus Galileo
Galilei and well NASA we can now say
with certainty that the Sun does not
revolve around the earth the moon on the
other hand does circle the globe so how
long does it take well considering you
see it come and go every night you’d be
forgiven for saying like every 24 hours
but you’d be wrong and not by a small
margin depending on the method of
measurement the lunar orbit takes either
twenty seven point three days a
satiereal month or twenty nine point
five days a sonata –km unthe
the discrepancy stems from whether you
use the Sun or stars as your reference
point technically both are correct
number four a blue moon is actually blue
in color you know what you’re thinking
yeah WatchMojo we know the moon doesn’t
literally change color it just looks
blue but here’s the thing while the moon
low on the horizon may sometimes appear
orange due to atmospheric tricks of
light a blue moon just looks like a
regular old full moon you know kind of a
greyish white orb what actually makes a
blue moon special is the fact that it’s
the thirteenth full moon in a calendar
year
which typically only has 12 with this
13th moon showing up every 2 or 3 years
it would seriously mess up the fasting
schedule for lent and so in Old English
it was called badou which roughly
translates to traitorous number three it
has a dark side sadly the only actual
Dark Side of the Moon was released in
1973 by Pink Floyd when we look at the
moon we can only see one side of it that
much is true
dorks don’t you moon but the other side
which could more accurately be called
the far side of the Moon still gets sun
exposure you see well the world
completes a rotation on its axis roughly
every 24 hours the moon only completes a
full rotation in the same amount of time
takes to complete its orbit around the
earth as a result we only ever see the
same side of it its face while the Sun
shines on it over both the moon’s sides
over the course of its orbit
don’t be jealous it’s the less
interesting side
[Music]
number two a full moon causes strange
behavior ever wonder where the word
lunatic came from blame it on the moon
we’ve all heard someone say must be a
full moon when pointing out an excess of
erratic or downright crazy behavior in
humans and animals the theory of lunar
effects has a long history dating back
to ancient Babylon
but if geocentrism has taught us
anything it’s that we shouldn’t put
stock in a theory just because it’s been
around for a long time so what does
science have to say about it well not
much in a 1985 study that evaluated the
research of 37 other previous studies
scientists failed to find any
correlation between lunar cycles and
erratic behavior accidents or temporary
insanity
oh and no werewolves either number one
the moon landing was a hoax you don’t
believe him into the moon alright
conspiracy theorists let’s do this
you’ve been denying the accomplishments
of mister Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin
long enough they went all the way into
space and landed on that cratered Rock
only to return home and have you
question their integrity for shame
there’s all kinds of proof but one
explanation should do they did not have
the technology to fake it on video take
the footage of the lunar rover from
Apollo 16 kicking up dust which was
thoroughly analyzed in the early 21st
century according to researchers at the
University of Colorado the trajectory of
the dust cloud could only have happened
in the vacuum of space CGI that accurate
or convincing simply did not exist in
1972 when the Apollo 16 mission footage
was filmed might drop so which of these
