Kebohongan Bulan Besar

"Kebohongan Bulan Besar" merujuk kepada serangkaian enam artikel yang diterbitkan dalam The Sun, sebuah surat kabar New York, bermula pada 25 Agustus 1835, tentang penemuan kehidupan dan bahkan peradaban di Bulan. Penemuan tersebut secara keliru diatributkan kepada Sir John Herschel, salah satu astronom terkenal pada masa itu.
