By all perception the moon looks like a mirror.
It reflects light and Illuminates the lands below.

Is the moon more?

There are ancient writings of life before the moon. So someone put it there

Is it a listening station?
Does it collect data?
Does it block data?
If so why?

All signs point to Betelgeuse.
Moon mirrors us.
Our thoughts.
Our sounds.
Everything.
Sending the data back and forth to Betelgeuse.
Moon a communication station?

Alan Parsons song
Eye in the sky

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind

If we are tethered somehow to Betelgeuse the moon plays a significant role.
