The Great Moon Hoax, Vespertilio-homo

The Great Moon Hoax refers to a series of articles that were published in 1835 by The Sun, a New York newspaper, about the discovery of life on the Moon, falsely attributed to English astronomer John Herschel. The articles described fantastic animals, including unicorns, bipedal tail-less beavers and bat-like winged humanoids (Vespertilio-homo) who built temples. There were trees, oceans and beaches. Authorship of the articles have been attributed to Richard Adams Locke.  Lithograph by Salvatore Fergola, 1835 - 1849s.
