when in doubt: mysterious shadow object, lmao.

“According to flat-Earth conspiracy theorists, this astronomical phenomenon — known as a total lunar eclipse — was actually a rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of a mysterious "shadow object" that orbits the sun and occasionally passes in front of the moon from our point of view here, on an allegedly pizza-shaped Earth.”

It’s not that I can’t workout how to make that work with some super massive object. It’s that it’s so ridiculous to do so that I won’t bother. All hail mysterious shadow object!

I’m going to name it “the mooon”

You're not far off, the actual term for this in astronomy is close to moon, but instead of the extra 'o' in the middle as you have here, it's an 'r'.
