August 25, 1835: “The Great Moon Hoax” Is Published In The New York Sun

The "Great Moon Hoax" was a series of six fake newspaper articles published in the New York Sun starting on August 25, 1835, claiming that life and an advanced civilization had been discovered on the Moon. [1]


The Claims

• The Source: The articles claimed to reprint a report from the Edinburgh Journal of Science. They stated that a famous astronomer, Sir John Herschel, used a massive new telescope in South Africa to view the Moon. [1, 2, 3]
• The Discoveries: The reports described lush forests, vast oceans, rivers, and active volcanoes. [1, 2]
• The Creatures: The stories claimed to spot bizarre animals, including blue unicorns, two-legged walking beavers, and four-foot-tall winged humanoid "man-bats" who built temples. [1, 2, 3]

The Purpose and Impact

• The Intent: The author, New York Sun editor Richard Adams Locke, meant the stories as a satire. He wanted to mock wild religious claims of the era that the Moon and other planets were heavily populated. [1, 2]
• The Public Reaction: Readers missed the joke and believed the stories were real. Sales for the New York Sun soared, making it one of the most popular papers in the world at the time. [1, 2, 3]
• The Confession: On September 16, 1835, the paper admitted the whole thing was a complete fabrication. [1, 2]
