- The_Moon_is_made_of_green_cheese abstract ""The Moon is made of green cheese" is a statement referring to a fanciful belief that the Moon is composed of cheese. In its original formulation as a proverb and metaphor for credulity with roots in fable, this refers to the perception of a simpleton who sees a reflection of the Moon in water and mistakes it for a round cheese wheel. It is widespread as a folkloric motif or meme among many of the world's cultures, and the notion has also found its way into both children's folklore and modern popular culture.The phrase "green cheese" in this proverb simply refers to a young cheese (indeed, sometimes "cream cheese" is used), though modern people may interpret the color reference literally.There was never an actual historical popular belief that the Moon is made of green cheese (cf., the myth of the Flat Earth). Indeed, it was typically used as an example of extreme credulity.In ancient times the Moon, like the rest of the celestial realm above the sublunary sphere, was considered to be made of an otherworldly and perfect "fifth element" or quintessence as identified by Aristotle in On the Heavens. The Copernican Revolution in time overturned this view, as Galileo Galilei's 1610 publication Sidereus Nuncius heralded his telescopic discovery of an irregular lunar surface, suggesting a plurality of worlds with the Earth and Moon (and other planetary bodies) sharing the same basic physical nature. In the Space Age, lunar missions for the first time allowed direct examination of Moon rocks, suggesting the giant impact hypothesis, but the overall proportional composition of lunar geology is still debated, with different implications for the Moon's origin.".
