When i look at the moon, i just think its amazing that all of our ancestors and all the greatest who have lived on this planet, have all gazed upon the same moon...🌙
Not quite the same because of different obit distance and even different dust from the impact objects, and dust from the belts and from distant stars.
@@summerbrooks9922 Unlikely. Mankind has been around for about 200,000 years. That is a very short amount of time, astronomically speaking. The moon hasn't changed much in that amount of time considering the Earth/Moon system is around 4.5 billion years old.
Curtis I like how your mind works: it is a fanciful notion and one that l will dream and think on for the rest of my time here on earth. Thank you for the inspirational thought.🤔😉
@@sherifitzgerald6886 Your more than welcome, its a strange and fascinating thing the universe and how we simply exist on this lonely planet, at the end of the day we all originated from the same event, everything in our universe and beyond share the same energy released from the beginning of all that is matter, and i can't help but think one day we shall all return and start this magical thing we call life again 😊
@@curtisnolan5993 This I believe 💯% !!!
In school, I had a bit of a tough time catching onto things as the teachers would go through classes, and then I started telling myself I was just stupid. I felt inferior to the other kids in class. I would eventually learn what was being taught, but I struggled. I'm not sure if its how you explain the topics you cover, or if I'm just more interested in it, but thank you for making me feel way smarter than I used to. It makes my day every time. I run to my friends/family and tell them all about it. 😅 Got my first telescope for Christmas and have been diving deeper and deeper into everything space. I love your videos.
If it makes you feel any better, I also sucked at physics, but the astronomy part was riveting. We'd get the teacher to go off on massive tangents about black holes and spacetime. He did a great job of being excited about the subject matter and getting us asking more questions. Those classes are definitely one of the reason this channel exists, and why I formulate the videos the way I do.
That’s the difference between a teacher that loves their subject matter and teaches with enthusiasm and a teacher that is just going through the motions. I’m an old guy and remember my teachers that cared about the subjects they taught. Enthusiasm is contagious!!
Maybe you were just a little bit thick?
@@evannorth5397 gfy
@@astrumspace Yanno, that did make me feel much better haha. My physics teacher was a pretty cool guy, he could draw a pretty perfect circle, he rode dirt bikes and was pretty good, he had a really cool handlebar mustache, and he also wrote a couple books, "Bird! Qn Explanation of Hawkwatching," and "Visiting Mother Nature." His name is Brian M. Wargo if anyone is curious. He just spoke fast and taught in a way that I could never grasp the subject. The fastest I caught on to a subject was when we did ticker tapes lol. He didn't believe that I had ADHD and wouldn't move me to the front of the room or stay after school with me until April or May, a month or two ahead of our last day. I passed, but by the skin on my teeth. I appreciate you sharing your experiences with me, it means a lot
I love how it sounds like this guy has a massive smile while narrating
It's a sign that he's probably had some vocal training.
It shows, how much he loves his job.
Oh my god I thought I was insane. Well I probably still am, but not about this apparently.
I fink dat um, dat he’s weally happy working fwom home making, um, making videos about weally interwesting fings. 👶🏻
So true. Content is fantastic too.
As an American, I can’t get enough of narrations with accents. This guy’s voice is incredibly soothing; and he really sounds like he loves this topic. So that makes it even better.
All people have accents
Alex, I know you won't see this as your videos are loved by so many, but I just wanted to say thank you. Your videos genuinely do lift spirits. I've just got home from a 16 hour shift and seeing this in my feed has made my night.
You are welcome! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Agreed. I'm getting ready to go to work and the morning e-mail checking routine made me wonder onto KZhead and found this gem. It's a very pleasant distraction from office politics and the fact that I have to drag my carcass halfway across town in minus 9 degree weather to get yelled at. The footage is amazing and he has a warm friendly voice and upbeat manner I really like.
Damn dude. I thought I was hard core when I pull 14 hours of work. Hope you get some quality time off bro

Binged on every single video prior this one and I cannot get enough! The visuals are mesmerizing and you do a phenomenal job narrating. 🙌
Been watching this guys videos on and off for years and it's like it's my first time to learn about space everytime. Brilliant
10:06 "A peak like this one, poking out of the surrounding darkness..." -- is perfect setting for a sci-fi horror movie! :)

What I like about the Moon? The fact that we have been there. The thought still strikes me with awe. “Houston. Tranquility base here. The Eagle has landed” Goosebumps. Every time!
@@meka19953 we did get there, how was it impossible?
@@meka19953 we lost the telemetry data, a true disaster. But we do have all the other telemetry data from the five other moon landings.
We were there and are elsewhere in the galaxy, kind of. About the craters is funny because they have only one reason. just open your head to things that you cannot yet imagine.

Discovered your channel last autumn and binged watch all your content since - the perfect blend of fun and informal. Love it! Please keep going!!
Admittedly, looking at the moon through a 6 inch telescope, is impressive. I agree with your opening statements, as they are awe inspiring, even with a primitive scope.
I feel particularly blessed that we have a moon so perfectly arranged for total eclipses. Since the moon is slowly escaping earth's gravity it's distance is temporary. But don't worry, the eclipses won't start tapering off for about 620 million years.
...and the moon to rule by night.
I would like to see more about odd formations on the moon. Especially locations of lava tubes, possible colonization sites, more LRO photos and videos, and much more about the far side of the moon. The dark side is a misnomer.
Astrum, I would love to see more color analysis of the different elements found on the moon akin to what you showed with water in this one. Thanks!
Could be interesting! Thanks!
I am so entranced by the quality of images from the LRO ✨ Thanks, Astrum, I enjoy your LRO playlist
I LOVE this kinda stuff! Please do more like this. On Mars too. Thank you.
6:45 beautiful crater, and although I understand a low angle impact would create an elongated crater and westward rays, I don’t see how it could originate north and southbound rays in the first impact...
hmmm let me think about that.
Yeah, that hit looks unusual bearing a distinct n and s fan. Yet the crator is oblong or elliptical. Unreal. Two hits at the same time? No. Electrical arcing is more likely. Study the electrical universe.
I'm no physicist, but I believe the westward lines are debris directly left over from the westbound impactor, and the north and southbound rays are the result of splashing ejecta, like you'd normally see on a direct impact. Think of it like a normal crater, just turned 90 degrees so down now becomes west.
I would like to see a surface temperature map at different times of the year.
Check out this website! You can apply all sorts of filters to the surface of the Moon, including a temperature map quickmap.lroc.asu.edu/
@@astrumspace cool!
@@marcw6230 hubble doesn't work well on stuff this close, only on really far away stuff. theres some images of neptune from hubble and while they are okay, they're underwhelming and definitely couldn't be used to study surfaces of planets.

What i love when looking at the moon trough my telescope is the day/night line, where the craters cast a very interesting shadow and you can really spot the depth of them. At that line, it really looks 3D.
I love picking up the details of the craters, it gives me that "we tiny humans" feeling. And to think that those details have been and likely will be around for longer than humans have existed. 🤯
Terminatta... in my Arnold voice
Moon is so enigmatic, I love to look at it with my 10” telescope, never get tired of it...
Still cool from a 6"; I have telescope envy :-)
Gettin stoned and playing space
Anybody can recommended me a good telescope ?🔭
I love looking at the moon while I stroke my 10", never get tired of it...
@@Oldhotdogwater Really depends on what you can afford. I got my Meade 6" Reflector from Costco about 15 years ago for like $199. If you can afford bigger, do it: significant optical improvement and depth of space capability. Spend some time googling from experts more than me. There is a learning curve. With mine, you can see the rings of Saturn, some detail of Jupiter and the Moon is kickass.

Lovely 💡

Hey Astrum the moon once had volcanoes 😁
arstrum..heres a pickle for you,,show me a pic of the earth from the moon,then a pic of the moon from earth,,,why are they the same size.???...if i had binocs on the moon,i should be able to see me waving on earth..yes..
I'd like to see a video expounding the advantages of the Moon as a location for scientific experiments and industrial processes. What science and industries can be done better in low gravity, in a vacuum , and under the conditions available at various lunar locations?
Great topic!
What do you think about the report that says the crust on the "Dark side" of the Moon is much thicker. One theory is that there were two Moons in the same orbit at one time and the second Moon slowly overtook the first Moon and merged.
Nice!
@@FishnChips136 "Two moons" not the dominant theory... Obviously the distribution of density of the Moon is not spread evenly throughout the sphere; the moon is tidally locked to the earth and the gravitational anomalies have been well studied.
Stunning images, and always very informative narration...Astrum rocks.
Some years ago, I was interested in observing Lunar sunrise and sunset rays -- places where a gap or dip in the rim of a crater cast a streak of light into an otherwise shadowed area, usually inside the crater. There are a number of these; they're some of the easiest to observe of the various Transient Lunar Phenomena. A very modest telescope will show them when the Moon is in the correct phase -- though most are only visible for a few hours in each lunation (some as little as a few tens of minutes). I believe I was the first to report such a ray in Curtius crater. My contribution to Lunar observations...
what i like and find fascinating about Moon is that its just at the right distance from us that its the same size in the sky like Sun and thanks to that we have unique solar eclipses and people in the past could see Suns atmosphere
Enjoy it, while it lasts. In a few ten thousand years it will be too small.
it's not unique tho. that happens frequently in our very solar system. i think there are three Jupiter moons that get this effect from their fellow satellites. well it all depends on where in their orbits they meet, really.
@@5Andysalive downer much
@@GraveUypo yeah but nobody lives on jupiter to cry out and call it a life changing experience. Sorry but I think it's the creator of what was and what will be who enjoys our child-like fascination even on the 21st century with this 'woooow!' Effect God loves his witnesses and we are it! What an honour to witness his wonderful creation.
You sound like rob dyrdek making up stats on ridiculousness!
2:55 "similar to lava or honey" This sounds funny. One would not expect something to be described with two so different things. :) 3:33 'Aliens!' :D 5:23 That looks like a comet.
And with near 0 gravity how would lava or honey 'flow' before cooling off on the ice-cold surface ?
lava is often described as having the fluid dynamics of honey. Geologists describe rocks as behaving like warm butter when compressed over geologic time. It's analogies the layman can understand easily.
Alex, thank you for your fascinating insights into moon geology. I did an ‘A Level’ in Geography many years ago and craters on Earth / Moon were never covered in the syllabus. I’m currently reading ‘Ken’s Moon’ which is an exposé on NASA’s attempt to doctor and conceal evidence of compelling moon anomalies from archives of photography taken during the Apollo missions during the 60s & 70s. Ken was in charge of NASA’s moon photography archives at the time. To his dismay, 40 years ago, witnessed his archive being censored by a team of ‘cleaners’ who had been hired to scrub evidence from the original photographic material (transparencies). Dispute his protestations to his boss at how they were betraying and depriving the tax payer and mankind of the truth - he managed to save a copy of the archive and blew the whistle on NASA in recent times. Therefore, it would be interesting to see if the latest hi- resolution satellite moon scans can reveal more evidence of the anomalies that NASA ordered Ken to destroy; that is assuming the latest moon scans have not also been censored.😉
Lol
Evidence? Didn't think so. "Compelling moon {sic} anomalies" Oh, ya, you mean cheeeese, Gromit!
The craters are caused by an electrical plasma discharge, a large amount of all geological features on most planets are caused by this, happens roughly every 12~13 thousand years
Gotta love those hi-res images!! Thanks Astrum!!
always a pleasure watching your videos mate, keep up the sensational work
I think that very fine sand in low G behaves more like a liquid, so therefor when an impact happens even today, it would create craters that look like someone dropped something in a puddle and then it freezes.
I'm not sure, since this was a thought that was considered during the 1st moon landing. There were concerns over the lander's gear potentially sinking into the lunar surface given the unknown density of the surface. However, their concerns proved unfounded. Of course, that was a gentle landing, not a massive interstellar impact!
@@RidinDirtyRollinBurnouts We handle a lot of powders in my line of work, and in the production line we have something called a vibro fluidizer. It basically creates micro vibrations to make fine powders behave like a liquid. If you stop the machine suddenly, it does look slightly as if you just froze a flowing stream. I’d imagine that it would be even more pronounced in an environment where there is less gravity. With a huge impact, maybe the moon vibrates in a similar way, causing the dust to behave like a liquid until the vibrations stop. And unlike in our machine, there is no real gravity to flatten the powder afterwards. Obviously I have no experience with lunar dust, its just something that sprung to mind.
Or like stepping in thick mudd.
"we may take the moon for granted..." But the funny thing I find about the moon, is that it is the one thing that I've seen so many thousands of times before, yet NEVER gets old. Every time I see it, I think "Isn't that just the coolest looking thing!"
@1:00 It kinda Looks like electrical arcing to me. Why are most all of the Moon's craters round? What's the odds? So few collisions hit at an angle???? Mostly strait on hits? Could be discharges between two orbs with different potentials. This also might explain "donuts".
Craters are circular because when the meteor impacts, it explodes like a bomb and sends out a blast in the same way that they do on earth creating a crater.. That’s why the large meteor isn’t left In the center of the crater. Cause it isn’t there anymore
It’s surprising that we can find water in the most unexpected places all around! The universe is full of surprises.
The universe is also full of water, surprisingly!
@@JohnnyAngel8 it makes sense because hydrogen, helium and oxygen are the bulk of the universe as far as matter goes. Seems the thing we should be looking for is planets not just in a habitable zone, but planets with magnetospheres. Because without magnetospheres even planetary bodies holding h2O in a habitable zone would've evaporated it back in to space long before we found them. If we lost our magnetosphere we'd be done pretty quick. Well done. 🤣
It's not unexpected at all. I don't know where you got this idea but permanently shaded bottoms of craters are exactly the places where we thought volatiles would've been trapped.
Day #4, Finally finished watching the video. Really amazing, the narration and the background sound were putting me to sleep the other 3 days, and only in 4th time I somehow managed to finish it.
It’s truly a blessing we have such an interesting and accessible natural satellite.
No matter how much someone is into space, when I show them the moon in my telescope they are always genuinely impressed
When the Apollo missions landed on the moon, did anyone the landing with a telescope ? Would it have been possible even to SEE the landing with a telescope ?
@@KillerMosquito Lol no it's way to small, the lander was like 4m across and the moon has a diameter of 3500km idk about you but my 7 inch telescope barely gets the whole moon in frame.
I think the concentric craters are from gas escaping a still melted but highly viscous surface, like when you cook malt o meal or even oatmeal until it's really thick, steam bubbles leave similar structures in the surface.I can also see how continuous degassing could cause the further catering with a stiffer surface giving the steeper craters due to brittleness as the surface cooled.
Love this theory, I agree.
You have such a grasp on these topics. I'd love to hear your thoughts of what an actual base on the moon would look like and how the residents would live.
It's already been done
One of the best narration voices on KZhead!

The award for first place goes to Mark Felton though.
Always interesting and well done, Alex. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Videos about the Moon are always interesting to me, especially about how an outpost could be built there. Because the Moon is the first place where humanity should build a colony off of the earth.
Theres no breathable air in space or gravity.. Impossible..
@@ceazdamoment12 ; Earth’s Moon has gravity. It is 1/6 of earth’s. A Moon outpost or colony would be inside a pressurized enclosure which would have breathable air. Same principle as the International Space Station or on earth, a submarine.
@@bb1111116 Absolutley. Hence why those shelters would be underneath the surface to be protected from asteroids.
I have a large Celestron reflecting telescope and I love watching the shadows of the mountain ranges move across the surface of a new moon. With no atmosphere the shadows are very sharp and the movement is easy to see.
It's 4 am and I can't sleep. So watching this.

@@soldaatjhu I recently bought an LG C1 🤪
This is a fantastic video and a fantastic channel. On a side note - looking at pictures of craters is always weird for me. They constantly change from looking concave to looking convex. Anyone else have this issue?
What if some of those craters are actually dormant volcanoes or even geysers that spew molten lava whenever the lunar surface is impacted by asteroids, or maybe they erupt whenever there is enough pressure under the moon's crust? This is just a thought.
More a mind-fart, with no basis at all.
i would like to name that unnamed crater: revieman’s hole dibs
Legit. Revieman's hole it must be.
All yours my friend
Sounds good to me .
Great idea!
Im amazed learned a bunch ,but I was hoping for some ancient ruins revealed that NASA was covering up.
Their funding for future moon missions would EXPLODE if they could show that.
NASA isn't covering up anything. It's not the only agency in the world that examined the Moon. There are other countries. You're implying a vast global conspiracy, which is not only ridiculous, but downright mentally deranged thinking. We haven't found anything artificial on the Moon we haven't put there by ourselves already.
@@lajoswinkler goodness gracious it still would be cool if they did find some ancient ruins on the moon.
@@lajoswinkler You never know man. We can't possibly be the only intelligent life in the universe if you want to call us intelligent. Anything that would go directly against the status que of the governments would be an utter global upheaval. There are many religions that speak about a time man witnessed the moon being brought here vs always being here. The odds of the moon being at just the right distance which is the same size as the sun viewed from Earth is just too overwhelming as a one off considering we have no proof that it's possible of the same circumstances anywhere else yet naturally.. Whether anything artificial exist on the moon or not is not out of the realm of possibilities. Have an open mind dude. You don't have to believe it. But don't down others who do. We are only human. We "don't know everything."
You want to believe.
"Future colonies on the moon", always makes me chuckle!!
Why?
Remember the tv show Space 1999 😂
When I graduated from high school 1972 I took a job working at a lumber mill in McCloud California. On the weekends I would drive down to Redding California to see my girlfriend. It would be late on Sunday night driving back to McLeod basically right underneath Mount Shasta 14,000-foot Peak, there would be about six feet of snow on the ground, and the moon would be full. There's no words to tell you how beautiful that was, something you have to see for yourself I guess
The artificially aged crater next to Messier A is like distressed furniture, artificially aged!

Back in high school (1973) I took an astronomy class. The teacher asked me to speculate: "Where would you build a colony on the moon?" I replied "Somewhere you can get a lot of solar power and not have to suffer the 14 hours of darkness." Which is the north and south poles on a mountain peak. Thanks Alex and Astrum! The only other way is to "time share" solar power by superconductor channels from two or more sites that share sunshine.
Thank you, immensely. (I don't often gush like this ...) Very informative; I love the gentle 'laid back' style of delivery. I also now have ooooodles of screenshots to sort through ...

Why don't we start with the giant castle shaped object hovering 7 miles up over the moons surface that appears to be made of a glass material.
?
That's the castle from Krull
My request would be about lava tubes. A comprehensive and all inclusive on all that is know about Lava tubes. It is unknown what is in them like maybe Ice. They maybe converted into future habitats.
They should do a flying drone rover on the moon. With its low gravity, it could cover huge areas and capture some amazing images. A moon flier would be pretty sweet.
How can a drone fly without atmosphere
ha, true. For some reason I had thin atmosphere on my mind when I was thinking of this. I suppose you could use thrusters, but you would need a refill station for fuel, or you'd just have a limited number of flights. But yeah, you're right.
Would be nice to see what's left behind of the apollo missions too.
After I posted almost the same question I saw your comments. I mean if it has been mapped so extensively seems they'd want to put conspiracy theories to rest.
There are things you can find when scanning the surface ... Use Google moon like Google Earth.
Thank you Alex........and NASA. Those are some crazy sharp images. You inspired me to go set up my telescope on this lovely warm winter night in Arizona.

'artificially aged' curious term. When you first showed this slide it appeared to me to be a low impact trajectory where it initially impacted in, and bounced to a halt with a large mound forming ahead of the sudden deceleration of the object. It could have even dived under the surface from the initial impact and the subsequent stopping point being under the second depression resulted in a 'heat sink' depression with a displacement wave ahead of it.
Thanks a million for your wonderful videos! You're great keep up the good work. About the messier crater I think a meteor broke in half in two different shaped and sized parts but stayed together and close because of the gravity and fell on the moon bam bam. That's why there are two concentric circles.
quality stuff man

I watched a video arguing that the Moon is hollow and artificial. I'll never get that time back. Sigh.
There is a possibility that the hollow moon is filled with water as so many moons exhibit.
@@summerbrooks9922 Gravity doesn't allow the formation of hollow bodies, for it pulls the denser material to the center. The moons you're likely referring to possess ice surfaces with subsurface oceans.

Yes Astrum on KZhead!.
Sure looks like a bomb testing range for aliens.
You’re on to something here
Without knowing the depth of the fine powder covering the moon almost all images are consistent with hydraulic shockwaves caused by impact energy. Even the double concentric circles are consistent with hydraulic shockwaves. As for the obvious dust slides resembling flows it is perfectly consistent with pyroclastic flows or desert sands.
A crater of my crater is my crater. The art of space.
Our beautiful moon, and your narration is a spot on as always!
Great stuff!
I never get bored looking at the moon,
I would like to see more about old formations on what 1969-1972 had lefted on the moon. Especially locations of lunar rover, lunar lander base/feet that was lefted on sites of the moon. More LRO photos and videos about the relics lefted there.
The moon is so underrated. I hope we will have a colony there in my lifetime.
Colonies are more far-fetched think signal relay instead. Part of a larger network of satellites and landers orbiters orbiting ceres Mars Jupiter all just a network of satellites keeping an eye on everything at all times.
With the number of crater we see, they better build a good electro magnetic protection field to protect the installation against small objects. For larger object it is impossible.. There is no magnetic field like earth. It is dangerous. And the radiation are a problem also. The human should resolve this protection field, and anti gravity first before trying to play the explorers.
Its already been started humans have already experienced it, the leaders of earth just wont tell us..
Love the Astrum
Neal Armstrong, on the near side of the moon while it faces the sun, said the the moon's sky was completely black to the naked eye. The black sky from moon landing pics is more than just a camera resolution issue. I guess the lack of atmospheric refraction of the sunlight on the moon is what creates utterly black shadows for objects on the moon, and also surprisingly makes the sky utterly black to the naked eye. This is somewhat surprising.
Beautiful images. Thanks for the content.
Man I love these videos ;_;
My favorite feature about the Moon is all the Aliens hiding inside it only showing activity on the Dark Side which we convientely cant see. Ever. 😉
Ok.
@@nedakco1198 Maybe he was talking about the Clangers.
It’s interesting how astronauts found titanium on the moon even though titanium doesn’t occur naturally in nature.
@@ryangoodwin3799 do more research, titanium can be found in nature
@@ryangoodwin3799 Titanium is an element mate.
I’d like a video on your idea of what human colonies/space assets would look like in the next 50 or 100 years. What planets near earth would be best for permanent settlement (Mars, the Moon) and how would these settlements play out? And what about space stations (like the planned space station around the moon) in all of this? Could we get a space station in permanent orbit of Mars? How about Ceres? Anyway, I love your content and your channels
I'd surmise that concentric craters are the result of lighter material layer on top being ejected further out, while a denser material layer below the first not getting ejected as far.
The moon is looking a whole lot more interesting than Mars right now to me. I'll bet the next geological discoveries are going to be incredible! and change current theorys about how the moon became. Earth's natural satellite.
I think they’re both equally interesting.
