by Dr. Naomi Wolf,Lew Rockwell:

A couple of weeks ago, I asked a genuinely stupid question. I did not ask this truly stupid question in the privacy of my own living room, or on a phone call with a good friend. I asked it publicly, on the 12th largest social media platform in the world — X — to a potential audience of its 561 millionplus monthly users.

My incredibly stupid public question was this:

TRUTH LIVES on athttps://sgtreport.tv/

Of course, I was texting in haste, and I did not mean to post, “I have no idea that the light source in this image is the sun.”

Understandably, though, hundreds of thousands of people had a good chuckle at this obvious implication.

What I had meant to spark, with my clumsy post, was the start of a whole set of questions crowding my wondering mind at witnessing this extraordinary image: What is the angle of the sun’slightin this image — that is, where is the sun in relation to this face of the moon? Where is earth in relation to both? What does earth look like when the far side of the moon looks like this? What does the sun look like on earth when the far side of the moon looks like this? What does it mean for the moon when the sun lights up the “dark” or “far” side of the moon — that is, for how long at a time is the far side of the moon lit in this way? How is the light here so fairly evenly distributed, so that only a sliver of the moon is in shadow? In other words, in this image, where is the sun in relation to the moon and the other planets? And where is Artemis 2 in relation to the sun, the moon and the other planets, in this image? In order to secure this image, is Artemis 2 directly opposite the far side of the moon, and if so, where is the sun? And where, then, is the shadow of Artemis 2? Is it imperceptible? And so on.

What I really longed for was a schematic showing all of the planets involved in this image, and explaining the behavior of light in relation to them and to Artemis 2, in this image.

I also yearned for a long back-and-forth with patient astronomers, who might be willing to answer every single one of many questions that I and other non-astronomers may have had in this unfathomable, amazing moment — some questions of which might be basic indeed, to astronomers. Or even to lots of other people.
