In 1835, the New York Sun reported the latest news from one of the world's best-known astronomers. That news: Life on the Moon. And not just any life, but a whole civilization of flying people with wings like bats. The story of their cities and temples, along with herds of great buffalo unicorns, and giant beavers that walked on their hind legs, populated The Sun for days, and created a furor among the public that's remembered almost two centuries later. And it created a literary feud that was recorded in one of the great works of science fiction.
