Mr Mikes microphone himself?! Representing the ABC? What a treasure of a video

Did you know that the Moon featured in H2O is actually upside down, at least from the Australian perspective? If you don't believe us, check out the Moon at 05:43. The bright smooth patch on the right is Tycho Crater. This crater is seen at the bottom in the northern hemisphere and at the top in the southern hemisphere (ie Australia). The Moon's orientation flips based on your hemisphere. It also changes as you move towards and away from the equator. So there is no 'right way up' Moon. It all depends on your perspective.

oh we got RESEARCH!! i have learned some things today. mike was a great host for this -- i could listen to him talk about anything but this topic in particular was a delight! i l just finished rewatching the show and was wondering about a few of these issues myself. thanks for this video!

I need this to an unhinged deep dive😭😭

[@Boajhdk]

OMG this show was iconic.

[@adelaidedupont9017]

Oh - the plastic *scales* ! And Mike's explanation of the Science behind said mermaid scales.

Lol Mike no shame, I think I watch the show on repeat from age 13 to 30… I’m now 30 and I love the show just the same as I did when I was younger ❤ shoot I wish there was a revamp!

[@whitleewilhems5617]

I loved H2O just add water! Super stoked to watch this lol regardless

[@jillm9165]

Omg how is this only just showing up in my recommended!!

[@adelaidedupont9017]

I did wonder if *Ocean Girl* or *Seaquest DSV* was around when you were younger?

[@loganw4686]

I'm changed for the better

[@adelaidedupont9017]

Hmmm, they were possibly *inured* to the saliva...

Are we sure the show wasn't just so popular because the girls are all incredibly hot? Having had a few years of experience as a teenage boy myself, I know why I watched campy shows and it wasn't primarily for the camp.
