iTunes LinkEpisode 99: The Saga of the Lunar Ziggurat
Recap: In July of 2012, I did an analysis of a photo purported to show a genuine ziggurat (a step pyramid) on the Moon. I showed that it was more likely to be a hoax than not. What ensued grew to more than I expected, with name-calling, mud-slinging, various side-claims, and other things that I relate in this live talk I gave twice while in Australia.
Puzzler for Episode 99 [Same as Episode 94]: The equatorial circumference of the earth is 21,600 nautical miles, 24,901.55 miles, or 40,075.16 km. What is the circumference of the moon in nautical miles?
Answer to Puzzler from Episode 94: This puzzler is a continuance and will be addressed in Episode 101.
Q&A: There was no Q&A for this episode.
