On 18 June 1178, five medieval monks in Canterbury saw "a flaming torch" spring out of the Moon, spewing "fire, hot coals and sparks". Scientists initially believed that this was the collision that created the Giordano Bruno crater, although by the mid-21st century most scientists agreed that it was the Moon beginning to hatch. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary)
In 2039 the crew of Minera Luna San Pedro, a Mexican moonbase, founded to search for minerals, disappeared. (TV: Kill the Moon)
Crisis[[edit] | [edit source]]
By the year 2049, giant vicious red and black spider-like creatures with sharp teeth inhabited the Moon, living in the caves on the surface and killing every astronaut visiting the Moon, and covering moonbases in web. The Twelfth Doctor, Clara Oswald, Courtney Woods and Lundvik discovered these creatures on a mission to find out why the gravity had increased, with Courtney managing to kill one. They were connected to the organism that had been growing for millions of years inside the Moon, which hatched soon after. It laid another egg, which replaced the original Moon. The original moon then flew off to roam all of space. (TV: Kill the Moon)
Legacy[[edit] | [edit source]]
