Second!

Ok

[@nathaniel_chatterbox_journey02]

❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

[@Cray2TheZ]

Thank you for these great videos! Could you please explain why the largest lunar craters in your linked video are not shown in this one? Cheers!

[@mrnnhnz]

Yeah, I did notice that, and was going to ask about it. I suppose the Earth shields our side of the Moon from meteorite impacts to some degree?

[@Emptybee]

Kudos for those little maps showing each crater's location. That was a nice touch.

[@Wmafateh]

Get away!

[@davorbokun]

Yeah, I can't make up my mind which are scarier, those that narrowly missed the Earth and hit the near side of the Moon or those that were heading for Earth but were stopped by the far side of the Moon.

[@TheAwesomenessOfJay]

Let's take a moment to be grateful that Earth has an atmosphere.

[@Khaos768]

Let's also be grateful that the earth has such a massive sized moon, whose gravity attracts many objects coming our way.

[@rafacosta_x_]

Yeah, otherwise we wouldn't be able to breath like on Moon

[@DreadEnder]

@@Khaos768earth is more massive than the moon so it would only clear objects orbiting us

[@couchotaku]

Earth's atmosphere cannot protect against meteorites of this size, it only erases their traces.

Never knew how big they are you could fit a whole city in them.

Well let me just say, thank you moon for taking so many hits on behalf of team Earth.

[@salvander]

[@Solarwhale32]

Great video as always

[@LoneWanderer101]

Just spitballin' here but do any of you think we could build a simple dome or cover over one of these craters to turn it into some sort of pressurized habitat?

[@fiberbuild]

Sure! Cement the crater like a swimming pool, create an enormous lake, create a floating city and create the dome with millions of clear blocks (igloo). Domes will be connected via tunnels. Cool question.

[@mateuszbanaszak4671]

Humans are very prone to do crazy crap, so building 1 kilometer dome isnt impossible. Having a small forest on another planet sounds sweet. Ofcourse all living and managment buildings will be build separatery, and life-support-recreation dome will be build as its own thing, only connected by some airlocks.

[@joshuaboring4770]

Neat idea... buuut it kinda doesn't address the problem that put the crater there in the first place. An asteroid strike hitting the moon with enough kinetic energy to displace tens of kilometers of material will go through a manmade dome like a styrofoam cup. You see many large craters that have little crater impacts in them as well, so long lasting bombardment is an issue. You may get away with underground structures if they are deep enough, but it defeats the purpose of building a cool domed-in crater. Add to that the quakes that even a non-direct hit would cause to established structures. I'm not read-up on the seismic impact of asteroids on low-gravity environments, whether that would be better or worse, but it would be a problem, I imagine. Ultimately I think our moon is best suited as an early-interception landmark than a possible habitat.

[@justawhisperintheuniverse8257]

Just waiting on the next oxygen delivery...

[@stevenscott2136]

​@@joshuaboring4770 Very true. There's just not much on the moon to be worth the effort of settling there, let alone putting a whole urban population on a cosmic bullseye, and daring nature to try its luck.

[@tomlyle4991]

Such an inane comparison - comparing a world with no atmosphere that prevents zero objects from slamming into its surface to one with an atmosphere that prevents almost all objects from reaching its surface! But it must have been fun creating the graphics for this post! 😀

[@cockpeatdarkhole6909]

The Craters in this size- comparison are Crater from very big impacts (the smallest Craters have the size from the Barringer Crater) 😉

[@kineticdeath]

the moon has taken so many hits that the craters have craters within them

[@TimSlee1]

You know the craters start getting big (and old) when there's craters inside of them.

[@ffarkasm]

I wonder which is the youngest known larg crater.

[@recharge6696]

Great video. I really love the music as well. Parts of that song kind of reminded me of the "28 days later" movie soundtrack.

Hey MetaBallStudios, según yo eres español, así que si lees esto, hazlo, podrías hacer un vídeo comparando tamaños de submarinos, por ejemplo, algunos de subnautica, cómo el seamoth, seatruck, o cyclops. Por favor, si puedes, hazlo. Por cierto, buen video 👍 Hey MetaBallStudios, according to me you are Spanish, so if you read this, do it, you could make a video comparing sizes of submarines, for example, some of subnautica, like the seamoth, seatruck, or cyclops

Hope we see the monster size video next.

[@jeffersonwagner6706]

Nice video! But you forgot Mare Orientale, one of the largest and certainly the most beautiful lunar crater... please include it at the end of your presentation.

[@kotosqoposrly]

Curious note: since Earth is more massive than the Moon, our planet attracts more meteorites than its satellite, but because Earth has tectonic movements, abundant liquid water, thick atmosphere, biodiversity, etc, craters are poorly preserved.

[@Mr_Aleksander]

Hay alguna razón para que los cráteres más grandes estén en el lado no visible de la luna o es solo coincidencia?

[@DonVigaDeFierro]

Pues, la Luna recibe más impactos del lado no visible. Supongo que es cuestión de estadística: Entre más impactos recibe, mayor es la probabilidad de que reciba un impacto grande, comparando con el lado visible.

[@merion297]

What about the Dark Side of the Moon?

[@Chromana]

The big ones at the end are from the far side. I was wondering when any would show up. Perhaps as it's not been studied as much across the ages there aren't as many which have been named.

[@apexsyndicate1055]

Curious if we know about the time each one was created

[@gemfyre855]

We probably have a surprisingly good idea. You probably figured that the heavily eroded, almost un-noticeable craters are the older ones.

[@wildsnaturalwoodworks3997]

[@Ozzy-Jay]

It would be interesting to know the depth of these craters. In the representation they all appear the same depth. Curious the moon rings like a bell, the ground on top is older than the ground underneath and by the looks of those craters whatever hit the moon got stopped at what appears a similar depth regardless of the size. Thoughts?

[@sushimamba4281]

Craters would be at least 5cm deep
