The lunatic is on the grass. In his underpants.

Couple of things that are funny about this story
1) They are calling the moon-light collector an "interstellar light collector." Either they think that the moon is not within our system, or they actually have no idea what interstellar means.

2) It sounds like some elaborate scheme a James Bond villain would cook up - middle of the Arizona desert, with an undergrould lair and a giant moonbeam collector on top, ready to fry James Bond strapped to a giant metal table or something. Sadly, just more woo.

3) Moon bathing hints to me a possibility of "moon burn", which is not only fun to say, but so ridiculous that it's awesome. I can't wait for Coppertone to come out with moonscreen.


One thing that is really sad about this story:
1) "You feel almost like you are in heaven," said Aranka Toniatti, a cancer patient who has driven from Colorado twice to stand in the moonlight. "It's a gorgeous feeling."

Just one way that a seemingly benign woo story can become rather worrisome.
