On May 4, 1783, the great astronomer of his day, William Herschel, touched off a dispute that is still raging. He reported seeing a volcano on the moon. And four years later, on April 19, 1787, he again reported seeing volcanic eruptions on the moon. SINCE Herschel's first identification of what he called volcanic eruptions on the moon there have been literally dozens of reports from various 1 parts of the world recording the observation of volcanoes, dark clouds, smoke plumes and other peculiar events on the moon. Because until recently it was an unofficial dictum of astronomers that the moon was- a cold, dead body, there has been a strong reluctance of any professional stronomer to report seeing volcanoes on the moon.
