Nearly every night for years, I have never seen............?

Question

For nearly 50 years, most clear nights, I have watched the moon, and still have never seen the cow jump over it. What gives?

Answer 1

I never quite manage to catch it - I'm usually too busy watching my dish run away with my spoon.

Answer 2

You must live in China where it's impossible for a cow to jump over the moon. Try moving to Canada where this behavior is quite normal. God bless.

Answer 3

Dark areas on the moon which reflect sun light lesser than other surface looks like cow,deer,or a mans head to different observors. They are called Maria they are dried lava .

Answer 4

If someone has writter about the cow and the moon, its already been done. I'd spend a day at the library going through microfiche and other catalogues of information.
When it was done, I don't really know, but my Dad told me about it. (I'm 62 so start looking prior to 1946) Good Luck in your search.
p.s. if I hear of it being tried again, I'll notify you.

Answer 5

A cow at that distance is very small, so you wouldn't be able to see it without a telescope (at least a 12" scope).

Answer 6

Stealth cow, using technology borrowed from bison - which kills people every year when cars run into them.

Answer 7

I am about ready to give up looking for it.

Answer 8

haha when you blink it jumps really fast.
so try not to blink!

Answer 9

Answer 10

I dunno, but cows are delicious, aren't they?
