In modern times, whenever the moon or other planetary object is to be observed, the regular approach would be to utilize a rocket, strap a living vessel to it fitted with thrusters and cameras, and hope for the best. But quite recently, scientists have proceeded to take another covert form of approach, which involves hiding sophisticated telescopes in the moon’s shadow in order to operate without interference from Earth.
The idea that started the observation of the Earth
The reason the far side of the moon was chosen is that this location is completely shielded from Earth’s pull and tidal locking. From this perspective, the telescope can offer a wide angle of our universe as a whole, with the moon itself acting as a vast shield protecting the telescope from human proliferation and interference.
The usual city lights, satellites, spacecraft, and space gizmos do not come to this part of the moon. This enables subtle signatures and signals to arrive intact at the lens of the telescope, which then relays the information to astronomers on Earth.
A subtle possibility is thrown in the midst of this: are we ready to also be watched? This question is reasonable because, for the longest time, we have been the ones observing others.
Who is on the other side of the telescope?
The telescope itself is not an ordinary telescope that can be easily accessed, just like the ones we have on Earth. This is a sophisticated piece of equipment like no other. It is a hybrid system that can monitor Earth and offer deep space observation. The advanced infrared systems coupled with quantum-enhanced processors make it very accurate in detecting events happening in the universe and observations from our planet, Earth.
No occurrence happening in the cosmos can pass without being noticed. The telescope was designed to handle interplanetary phenomena, which makes it one of the most powerful and important inventions of our lifetime.
Can we handle the possibility of being watched by a telescope?
Whether we choose to admit it or not, the majority of humanity does not seem to be comfortable with the idea that a piece of equipment can have an unadulterated view of its seismic activity, tectonic activity, tidal formation, and so on. Unease seems to be in the air everywhere because of this singular reason.
Other questions, like population mapping, missile spying, and greenhouse effect monitoring, are some of the questions posed by enthusiasts worldwide. It would help to be aware of who is behind the telescope, but this still seems to be a mystery, just like how this strange occurrence was discovered.
Clues revealing the identity of Earth’s stalker
Information about a telescope built and positioned in space to monitor activities in the cosmos exists, but to date, there has not been verifiable evidence to suggest that some organizations are behind this. The name on everyone’s lips seems to be none other than NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), ESA (European Space Agency), and CNSA (China National Space Administration). But as of now, all of these are to be considered rumors until an official declaration is made.
Some enthusiasts are of the notion that the equipment might have been put together as a result of some political collaboration. Some are also suggesting that a nation no one really knows is the mastermind behind it. But until this nation comes forward, this is also none other than a spectacular rumor.
Since it is no longer news that this telescope has been activated, the era of privacy on Earth is gone, although the scientific advancement is also profound. But now, great responsibility rests on our shoulders to utilize this breakthrough effectively and not wreak havoc on each other as a result of distrust. The major takeaway is that someone is looking at Earth from the other side of the moon.
