Dear Wimble,

Is the moon made of cheese? :)

Dear Michelle,

Oh, this one is a classic. However, despite popular belief, the answer may surprise you. The Great Wimble will of course go into greater detail.

Now, obviously, scientists have already determined that our moon is not made of cheese. Neil Armstrong also agreed that it was not cheese after he had landed on our moon. Our moon is made of simply dust and dirt. There’s really not much too it at all. However, many people think it is made of cheese because of the craters. These craters are caused by meteors crashing into the moon’s surface.

Now, let’s think about something for a minute. We’ve already determined that our moon is not made of cheese. However, keep in mind that there are billions of other moons throughout the universe. So who’s to say that one of them is not made of cheese. For all we know, there are millions of cows out in deep space who happened to get milked, somehow, and they’re milk turned into cheese over time, which acted like meteors. These cheese meteors then collided with one another over millions of years and may have very well formed a moon that is made, at least partially, by cheese.

Hope I was able to help. Good luck in your search for a cheesy moon.
