Hubble Resolves Expiration Date For Green Cheese Moon
Explanation:
Using the new camera [ http://www.stsci.ed…] on the recently refitted [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] Hubble Space Telescope [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…], astronomers have been able to confirm that the Moon is made of green cheese [ http://www.cheese.c…]. The telling clue was the resolution of a numeric date after which the Moon [ http://www.nineplan…] may go bad. Controversy [ http://peace.saumag…] still exists, however, over whether the date resolved is truly an expiration date [ http://www.consumer…] or just a "sell by" date. "To be cautious, we should completely devour the Moon by tomorrow," a spokesperson advised. Happy April Fool's Day [ http://www.usis.use…] from the folks at APOD [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…]. The above image [ http://nssdc.gsfc.n…] (slightly altered) was actually taken in 1965 by the Ranger 9 [ http://nssdc.gsfc.n…] probe minutes before impact. The popular "Moon is made of Green Cheese" myth [ http://www.straight…] can be traced back almost 500 years. It [ http://www.people.c…] has been used historically in context to indicate a claim so clearly false that no one -- not even April Fools [ http://wilstar.com/…] -- will believe it.
