Extra! Extra! Life on the Moon!

On August 1835, the most important astronomical findings were published in the New York Sun. The moon was not made of Chesse. The theory of the moon being made out of chesee is absurd however that was one of the only findings not claimed in an article that discussed Sir John Herschels findings. With a telescope Herschel had viewed vast forsests, liliac hued quartz pyramids, hers of bison roaming the plains, and blue unicorns. The life on the moon according to Herchel was very active and similar to the lfe on Earth. However, his most notable finding was that there is intelligent life on the moon. There are two races established first is the primative tribe of hut dwelling, fire wielding biped beavors. The next race was given the name Vespertillo homo or man-bat. These discoveries were only recorded in the New York Sun.
Once again i have managed to find an article where the media has embellished a story trying to make a profit losing credibility. The discoveries of this article were credited to Sir John Herschel but when the story was brought to his attention many years later in England he had no clue what the article was talking about. To this day the New York Sun has declined that the article was a hoax. The closest they ever came to proving that the article was a hoax was in an article the next month stating that it could not verify the article as a hoax until proper documentation was sent from England.
