MOON SHADOWS—1912

On January 27, 1912, for nearly four hours, a pitch black "shadow" was observed traveling across the left cusp of the moon. Dr. F. H. Harris guessed that if the distance across the moon's surface was 2,000 miles, then the shadow was 250 miles long and 50 miles wide. The doctor eliminated all probable explanations for the mysterious shadow, which remained "in the shape like a crow poised."

In 1788 a light was observed in the lunar Alps, and then a shadow appeared where the light had been. In 1869, observed from separate U.S. locations immediately prior to a total eclipse of the sun, two groups of seedlike objects marched across the surface of different sections of the moon. The groups moved in parallel lines, but in different directions. In 1882 Connecticut witnesses observed two luminous triangles on the moons upper cusp. After disappearing for three minutes, the shapes reappeared as dark "notches" on the lower cusp, covering practically one quarter of the moon's surface. Between 1892 and 1950, there were a number of reports from around the globe regarding a gigantic shadow traveling horizontally over the moon, "yet it could not be the shadow of any known body."

In the 1950s astronomers in Britain and the United States reported phenomena in lunar craters; two reports concerned a luminous oval near the floor of Aristarchus and a spectacular "bridge-like structure" outline and shadow in Mare Crisium. The latter object had not been there five weeks earlier. A lunar expert in Britain, Patrick Moore, reported that he had distinctly observed the "bridge" for over an hour. Since 1869, the Royal Astronomical Society has recorded over a hundred geometric light patterns visible in Mare Crisium.

Sonic Prime got me back in the fandom, and now these two are my favorite little guys to draw. It's always the sibling dynamics that get me dangit.

AU where Maria gets to explore Earth and Shadow gets to be grumpy because he's protecting his sister.

I have so many sketches
