### Located within

Solar System

**Selene**, more commonly known as the **Moon**, is the natural satellite of planet Earth. The Moon is embodied in several myths and legends, usually associated with a queen goddess surrounded by her countless children (stars). During 1969, humanity for the first time set foot on the Moon.

## Overview

The Moon is a large rocky structure that orbits the planet Earth. The moon was formed a few years after Earth's birth, formed from the fragments that were thrown up by the collision between Earth and Theia. For millennia, the Moon has been a symbol of love and romance, as well as inspiration for poets and philosophers, having been worshiped as a goddess for thousands of years, usually associated with a great mother goddess always pursued by her husband, the God King, the Sun.

The moon is also responsible for the tidal forces on Earth, controlling the climate on the planet through its gravity. Although the moon was once believed to be able to generate its own light, it actually only reflects sunlight like the Earth itself and other planets. The moon is usually associated with a female deity, but in Japanese myths the Moon is embodied as a man, while the sun is embodied as a woman.

The Moon is also responsible for the appearance of werewolves. The Moon's mass corresponds to about 1.23% of the Earth's mass, having a diameter of 3.67 times smaller than that of the blue planet. The distance of the Moon from Earth is about 384,400 km, however, while the moon orbits the globe, the moon can be 405,500 km away from Earth.

## Description

The Moon's surface is made up of lots of debris and dust, as well as impact craters and mounds. This celestial body has a radius of approximately 1,740 km, which makes it the fifth largest moon in the entire Solar System.

Inside, the Moon is revealed to be hollow, something that was discovered by Apollo 11 during its descent to the lunar surface. Part of the recording of man going to the moon was cut and the part about the discovery of the moon being hollow inside was obfuscated from civilians because that could cause an uproar, because if the moon is hollow, then this obviously did not occur naturally, that is, the moon is artificial, someone put it there.

The truth is that the Moon is a prison, not for people, but for Trihexa. God created it to imprison the apocalyptic beasts, so it is said that the beasts were locked away at the "end of the world".

## Trivia

* There are countless goddesses in the myths who represent the Moon or whose symbols are the moon, examples are Artemis, Diana, Selene, Ishtar, Astarte, and even Mary is associated with the Moon.
* While in most myths the Moon is personified as a female entity, in Shinto myths the moon is personified as a man, the Moon God Tsukuyomi, while the Sun is personified as Amaterasu, the solar mother goddess.
* The moon is 3,474.8 km in diameter. The distance between the Moon and Earth is so great that all eight planets in the Solar System fit between the gap between the two celestial bodies (Nibiru does not count).
* Since its birth, the Moon has been moving away from Earth, and each year it gets 3.8 cm further from Earth. Selene is currently 18 times farther away than when it formed 4.5 billion years ago.
	+ The Moon should continue in this escape for a long time. In approximately 600 million years, there will come a time when it will be so far away in its orbit that there will be no more total solar eclipses, as the apparent size of the Moon in the sky will no longer cover the entire solar disk.
* Due to Tidal Coupling the moon always shows one face only to the Earth, that is, it does not rotate around its axis. As the moon moves 3 centimeters away from Earth every year, it is likely that in billions of years the moon will only show one face to the Earth forever, with total eclipses never happening again.
