The old rule of thumb for aerial photo interpretation is "shadows stab stomach." That is, rotate the image until shadows are pointing toward the viewer. This mitigates visual inversion of terrain and the true 3-D effect thus appears. PS I learned this so much more from fabulous old profs in Dartmouth's geography classes now five and more decades ago. So long ago, ERTS (renamed LANDSAT) satellites were still months away from first being lifted into Earth orbit. )

The art and 3d rendering are also second to none. It’s just amazing to me how deep and layered the lore has gotten.

When I was a little child, children were often told the moon was made of green cheese. One night I was out with my Dad, we took some time to examine and admire the sky. The moon was the object of my attention. After some thought I ask, "Dad, if the moon is made of green cheese why is it grey." He looked at the moon for a moment then said, "It was green when I was young, but now the moon is so old it is covered with mold." As I was still young enough to be awed by such wise wisdom I was very much impressed.

I'm sure it will be amusing to hear your insight or lack there of on my questions. But don't worry my mind wasn't poisoned. I'm a retired medical professional. That means I'm college educated in the field of human anatomy, physiology and mental health. As well for hobbies I'm interested in astronomy, geology, phytomedicine. As I became an older child I felt rather grownup when I knew "grown-up" answers to my questions. The childhood answers became fond memories as I realized that as a little child the technical and scientific answers were beyond what a child should be burdened with.

There is no one going to pay you because you love science. Buck up Bobby.

I believe absolutely NOTHING that NASA produces! CIA run deep State sinkhole for the purpose of stealing tax dollars!!! NASA produces PROPAGANDA! AND NOTHING ELSE....

They are hiding a lot. They propably killed Cary Martynuik who made a lot of videos and a documantary about it with Jose Escamilla called Moon Rising 2. There is a reason why nearly all images are in black and white.

[@nebtheweb8885]

@@dAt3q Lol, Yes, there is a reason. No trees, NO lawns, NO air, No sky, no color. Just stark contrast and many shades of grey, or is that gray?

Who cares...

Evidence please for your claims. How come there material matches some pictures I get with my telescope?

One comment of sense in a big old circle jerk. I learned some new things about the moon that cause me to distrust basically everything. There is an atmosphere on the moon. The is water in the form of ice.. 6 billion metric tons of water. The earth and the moon are made up of different material - it is not likely that the formation of the moon happened the way it has been told

Could be in the way material absorbs, reflects, and maintains temperature. Nice show

Our moon has cooled since it became locked into our earth's gravity, but this video and the information about it is super cool, meaning, in slang terminology it is outstandingly interesting & informative about our moon's details & topography.

[@robbierobinson8819]

Great narrative with your usual impeccable narration. Beautiful images.

[@walterhubicki5207]

Holy cow this is such an amazing..... Video that makes you choke up at how intricate just our moon is.

[@stratpac]

Fascinating! thanks for posting.

[@DirectorPepper]

How relaxing

[@Amethyst_Friend]

Yaaay, new video!

[@timokreuzer1820]

I think the cold spots could come from the ejection material, giving the surface a more rough structure, increasing its surface area, leading to higher radiation at night, cooling it more down. It wouldn't affect the temperature at day, because it doesn't increase the surface area projection from the direction of the sun.

extraordinary!
