Think NASA faked the moon landings? Here is the story of the original moon hoax. Printed over a period of one week in the New York Sun, 1835, these articles tell the tale of Herschel's greatest discoveries. Even better than the Martian Canals. Closer for one thing. This ebook, as far as I know the only one on amazon at time of searching, contains: 1. the original text from the articles.2. Colour and Black & White illustrations. Some taken from the original articles some taken from foreign language editions. 3. Some annotations and further information about the author of the hoax.4. A chapter describing the current state of moon knowledge, back then.5. The original introduction from the book of collected articles.6. Some spell checking and fixing. Mostly I have left the text as it is.More information can be found at the Museum of Hoaxes (Google for it) where I got the inspiration for this particular ebook. Really go to the Museum of hoaxes.Most of the text in this book is in the public domain. As far as I can tell it is not on Gutenberg or elsewhere on Amazon for the kindle. If you are against paying for works mostly comprised of public domain text and images feel free to download a copy from my Scribd page.All the contributors, excepting myself of course, have been dead for well over 70 years.
