Recently, scientists have discovered a strange crack on the Moon's surface which has left them very confused. Reportedly, the crack is continuously expanding. The Moon is the second brightest object in the sky - after the Sun - and Earth's only natural satellite. The Moon moderates the Earth's planetary wobble which helps stabilize our climate.

You’ve already answered this question in August 2009 but I’d like to go into more detail. This website: http://www.mastikorner.com/forum/islamic-picx/6843-miracle-prophet-muhammad-p-b-u-h.html claims that Allah split the Moon in two at the request of the Prophet Mohammed and that there is a split on the Moon documented by American scientists that goes right around it which is evidence of the miracle. Is there any truth to any of these claims?

My recommendation is to not believe everything you read on the internet. Peer-reviewed papers are the only scientifically valid sources of information out there. No current scientific evidence reports that the Moon was split into two (or more) parts and then reassembled at any point in the past.

“This time, we’re taking the other half of the population along with us,” Epps told the crowd. “It’s going to be so much more inclusive. Everyone is involved — we’re going to have other nations involved with getting us back to the moon. And we’re going to stay there. We’re going to live and work on the moon.”

In his opening remarks, Delaware U.S. Sen. Chris Coons, who co-hosted the event, thanked the astronaut for what she is doing to “expand the boundaries of human knowledge and exploration” and for bringing the excitement of this exploration to so many “incredible young minds in Delaware.” Some of these young minds? Middle and high school students involved with FAME, an academic-enrichment organization that prepares K-12 pupils for careers in science, technology, education and math. Additional students tuned in from institutes of higher education, including the University of Delaware, which administers the Delaware Space Grant Consortium. The organizer of this online discussion, the consortium provides financial support and training for NASA hopefuls.

“Open your minds to the new frontiers offered by a career in STEM fields, keep them open and take these opportunities to learn and grow,” urged Delaware Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long, who is also a UD nursing professor. “You are the next generation of leaders that will guide us.”

To The Moon Crack

NASA Administrator and event co-host Jim Bridenstine shared a little background about the Artemis program, the ultimate goal of which is to gather information that will allow for the next item on an interstellar to-do list: sending humans to Mars.

“I know there are young people out there who might one day want to go to Mars, and there is going to be an opportunity to do that — I really, really believe that,” Bridenstine said, adding that “the probability of finding life on another world keeps going up. It is important that we work every day with our international partners to put together a coalition that can go and make these very important discoveries, because… it will crack open how much we still don’t know and how much is left to discover and learn.”
