| Summary | The Hollow Moon hypothesis proposes that Earth's Moon is either wholly hollow or contains a substantial interior space. A related variant, the Spaceship Moon hypothesis, suggests the Moon is an alien artifact. Scientific evidence from seismic experiments and other data indicates the Moon has a solid, differentiated interior. |
| Origin | The idea dates back to at least the 1970s, when Soviet authors proposed the Spaceship Moon variant. It has been popularized by conspiracy theorists like Jim Marrs and David Icke. |

| Evidence / consensus | Seismic data from Apollo missions and other observations show the Moon has a solid crust, mantle, and core. The 'ringing' is explained by the Moon's dry, fractured crust, not hollowness. Density differences are due to the Moon's lack of a large iron core. |
