If you’re anything like me and struggling to understand the Moon. Understand if the Moon is a 3D hologram or a physical and real object then the first images of the Moon ever taken back in 1840 by John W. Draper from his rooftop observatory in NYC isn’t going to help you at all. In fact, the first image of the Moon ever taken just happens to be the strangeness image of the Moon ever taken and you’re about to find out why. 

You’re immediately going to be met by a square object with a crescent moon shape in the center which is going to immediately make you think that is the Moon. You would be wrong when thinking that. The crescent Moon shape you’re seeing in the center of the square object in this daguerreotype is a huge hole you’re mistaking as the Moon itself. This hole is the opening of the square object and that hole is responsible for the projection of the reflection from inside the Moon unit / Moon maker we’re seeing in the image. Yes, this is strange - I told you so. This isn’t just strange but what makes it even stranger is all of the corroborating evidence I personally own telling us that this image can not only be verified but it can be called 100% real and undeniable proof that we’ve been looking at the Moon the wrong way our entire lives.
