Can a consumer telescope see the hardware left on the Moon?
No Earth-based consumer telescope resolves meter-scale hardware. Lunar orbiters can, and the scale difference is measurable.

Does the Moon's density or seismic behavior imply a hollow shell?
Apollo impacts produced long seismic codas, but strong scattering and low attenuation explain the record without requiring a hollow shell.

03GeometricFile open
Do lunar maria encode the shape of Earth's continents?
Visual resemblance is easy to create. A useful version of the claim needs fixed geometry and predictions made in advance.

04Open questionFile open
Have observers recorded real short-lived lights or color changes?
Some flashes are real impacts. A specific report still needs timing, fixed position, signal shape, and independent corroboration.

What do phases, parallax, and eclipses actually constrain?
Simultaneous observations from separated locations can test distance, direction, and shadow geometry directly.

06Open questionFile open
Could the Moon be an image, hologram, or projection rather than a physical body?
A simple nearby image conflicts with parallax, occultations, libration, and signal ranging; surviving versions must add a lunar-range physical system.

07ObservableFile open
Why does the horizon Moon look enormous?
The perceived enlargement is real, but same-scale photographs usually preserve the Moon's horizontal diameter. The full perceptual mechanism remains debated.

Do missing stars, crosshairs, and angled shadows show that Apollo photographs were staged?
Short exposures explain missing stars; calibrated reseau marks and shadow geometry require original-frame and 3D checks. Each effect is reproducible without a studio.
