Dec. 12, 1953 - Giant Bridge seen on the moon. Discovery by astronomer.: Astronomers have spotted a huge bridge on the moon which looks like an engineering job'. Dr. H. Percy Wilkins, Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, said on the B.B2's radio newsreel last night that the bridge is 20 miles long and 5, 000 feet high, and snaps a gulf between mountain ranges 6, 000 ft. and 10, 000 feet high. But there do not appear to be men on the moon after all. The bridge, is, of course, not man made - said Dr. Wilkins after the broadcast. Though the span is 20 miles the arch is probably only two miles across The explanation? A meteite might have crashed through a molten-lava barrier and as the barrier solidified an arch was left he said. Photo shows Dr. H. Percy Wilkins with his enormous map of the moon - at his home in Bexley Heath, last evening
