Supercut of the LRO series! 5 episodes into one. I hope you enjoy some of the coolest sights and weirdest mysteries the Moon has to offer :)
Which Earth city image did you sneak in at @17:28? We see buildings, roads, an airport with runways. Cute to sneak that in for us. Repeated at @17:59 and @20:04.
Where's the images of the SPIRE on the moon? Well known many miles high spire seen previously from an angle on the horizon? Just search gooble images for "spire on the moon".
Another great supercut! Thank you so much! 😎🌚
@@ramrod0209 No chit. I took a screenshot and zoomed in 300%. Looks like a small town. Certainly not natural. I'm gonna try Google Lens on it. 😁
@@ramrod0209town shows up again at 20:04. Bottom left of screen.
I highly recommend everyone buys a telescope a good one it’s breathtaking seeing the moon and other planets with your own eyes.
There are so many inexpensive scopes with good optics for solar system viewing. A huge one is actually far harder to use for that.
lolz, you'll just find out the moon already has owners
@@abrahadabra111 Well, that’s what Buzz says.
Yes, own eyes, irl and realtime is completely different than seeing on a video or photo.
@@Baleur Completely unimportant! The moon doesn't belong to us, that's what's important and btw not everyone has the change for a Celestron telescope
And Wallace cried, for the peaks were not made of cheese.
Well it was made of hollow metal though
❤
I dont remember that in Braveheart….!Scotland!
Tastes like no other cheese he'd had before.
It's the wrong moon Grommet
its so nice to not get AI voiceover on random images that mean nothing to do with the narrative like so many other channels i get fed every day, you do an awesome job telling the story and putting the proper picture of what you are talking about in at the same time. I shouldn't have to say refreshing, but well needed!! good job, and loving the documentary length vids, it makes me want to clik faster. 12 to 25 mins is a tease :P
Had to make it a decent length, Alex looked at the amount of data and told his assistants, "Let's try to keep it under an hour, but we can always make a part 2 and 3rd part as we go along."
@@MountainFisher grateful for the time per show but yaa if required do up to 10 episodes to tell the story that is needed im sure we would all appreciate it
yah, u gotta find channels that are a bit older, like this one
Are you sure this weird accent isn't AI as well. It's at least someone who has undergone speech training to modify his vowels and hide his real accent. It is very annoying to listen to.
@@tuberroot1112you're in the minority.
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. )
or from old military image analysis procedures to identify camouflaged buildings. My Dean of Engineering had one in his office and let us students read it.
He never said which way it was inverted though. All i could see was the smooth parts were valleys.
what a great comment! makes sense.
What do you see when you examine high def Moon pictures?
@@mnegreiff i'll bite: craters?
"Look at all this amazing stuff!" is the best sort of science communication.
i dont know if i agree with how "conspiratorial" his titles have gotten.. He grabs enough exposure.. no need to attract the science deniers
The joy of discovery is contagious.
@@raidermaxx2324Who are the science deniers? Anyone who doesn't believe what you do?
If you want to teach people to look at cool things.
@@raidermaxx2324 Useful idiot much?
That was an amazing trip to the moon. Those images are nothing short of stunning. Thank you so much for bringing them to our eyes.
This is not just another regular astronomy video. This is the best documentary I ever watched about the moon. Thanks for the great work!!
I agree. This really was quite a good essay. Well done.
After following the work of Wallace Thornhill and the Thunderbolts Project for the last decade these standard model videos are hard to watch. Despite the what the naysayers who are afraid to look at the evidence say, the electric universe makes more sense and has made more, accurate predictions.
It is a very good video. I just wish he would have talked about the ancient metropolis at 17:29. Dang!
@@raycar1165 Garbage disinformation.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Some people want their science spoon fed. That’s fine. But some of us need science to make logical sense. Observable Testable Repeatable Evidence is required. The Standard Model describes a fantasy world. Phenomena are ignored, laws are re-written, data is fraudulent… the Crisis is simple, the world doesn’t match the model. The system is corrupted, expelling any challengers. The model is broken, it cannot make accurate predictions. It’s time to reevaluate, and get a good grip on the basic principles.
This has to be one of your best videos to date! Absolutely stunning. Thank you
thank you for this supercut! i really enjoy long form content like this, especially on topics like these. ❤
This is the best study of our moon that I have seen. Thank you!
Alex, you really knocked it out of the park! Thanks for this video.
What are you talking about? Yeah, this sounds like fun! Let's stare at a bunch of craters. This video was dull nerd stuff.
@@4emcarthur Then why r u on this channel
@@getnoob3945because usually this fellow Alex does put out primarily awesome content. I'm just a bit bored by crater porn. That's all.
But @@4emcarthur, 17:29 made it all worthwhile!
I LOVE your videos and the passion you have for space. Keep them coming.
Being colorblind, I’ve an appreciation for the grayscale appearance of the Moon. It happens to match a large portion of my wardrobe. You know, I have seen articles with severely blown up pictures of spacecraft on the Moon, but I’ve never seen as many great shots such as the ones you have compiled. I’m sure I’d be able to find several from NASA’s archives, I just haven’t been so inclined, so it was nice that you included so many. Great work as always, Mr. Astrum. Your channel is very, very informative and your work is so inspiring and appreciated.
What a beast of a video! After all these years, still producing brilliant videos. Thankyou for all the many hours of beautiful content ❤🙏 One of the top independent creators on yt.
Absolutely fantastic! Love how the images of places on earth are placed for scale. This makes for such a better understanding regarding the moon’s topography. Love this!
"Once you know what you are looking at, even the moon becomes interesting." Thanks for exactly that. Knowing what rilles, mare, etc.are and learning the "vocabulary" of moon phenomena is so valuable. Too many damn interruptive commercials on KZhead though.
It was interesting before the Close Ups. The man's use of "Weathering" is bending my Dictionary over, without Consent. The moon doesn't have an alternate reality, and neither should this influencer.
What commercials?
Your a member but don’t have premium??
Premium when? Such a life changer.
@@user-eo7oh8px9e ... You're speaking English without a Dictionary?
Fantastic show! Thanks for this!
Another spectacular video with some of the best pictures of the moon I have seen I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel, Thank you for all your hard work and please keep up the great work.
Great work on this one 🎉
Fantastic video!
It's really cool to see your channel growing as fast as it is great to see
Another brilliant video. I really enjoy this channel.
such a cool video, thank you!
Bloody fantastic
A lot of things I don't know yet and this video has helped me understand a lot about the world of the moon, thank you very much❤❤
The writing on this channel just keeps getting better and better. Of all the sci-fi channels on KZhead, none can even come close to the realism and hardcore science that this channel is committed to in the stories they tell. The art and 3d rendering are also second to none. It’s just amazing to me how deep and layered the lore has gotten. Sometime in my lifetime I think that humanity will make it to the moon, and hopefully even beyond to explore other bodies in the solar system. Most people think I’m crazy but I really do believe that.
I'm continuously upset about all the Apollo images I've never even seen. They're amazing! They should be part of our education growing up - I think we barely even covered the Apollo program's existence in school :( Hopefully I live to see Artemis astronauts livestreaming from the surface, it'll be the event of a lifetime.
March to the Moon has all of the Apollo photos in high resolution.
@@Hobbes746..."High Resolution" ? ? ? Original Resolution? Unedited? "high resolution" for the 1960's, is what today?
@@truthsRsung high resolution. Do you know how things work?
@@truthsRsung Apollo used Hasselblad medium-format cameras that created a 60x60 mm negative. March To the Moon has those negatives scanned at 12000x12000 pixels, i.e. 144 MP, about equal to the best digital cameras you can buy today.
There's a GOOD reason the "Apollo" missions just kind faded off with time.
I'd love to go and stand in the middle of the Lunar X. The Apollo sites would have to be worth a visit too. :)
What a nice video. Very informative and beautiful moon landscapes. Well narated! Love the music too.
I love your voice, so relaxing. Thanks for the video!
I hearby name those two un-named mountains Humpty and Dumpty.
😂
I have named them Pancreas and Spleen.
Love your videos, especially the long ones!
Beautiful tour👍👍 thank you very much
Great stuff, clear narration of the subject 😊👍
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.
It’s like Calvin’s dad explaining why the world used to be in black & white.
@@Sashazur that sounds like an explanation right up my dad's alley (or in modern terms, part of his mind canon) To bad i never thought to ask about all the black and pictures and movies.
Kind of sad to poison a childs mind like that
@@koenwijnen8278 you must be a millennial to think such a thing would posion a child's mind. • How exactly would you describe what the moon is made of to a little child? • Do you also think it is poisoning a child's mind for them to watch cartoons or children's programing? • How about children having imaginary friends? 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.
@@ussarng4649Don’t bother. You are a logical person using rational reasoning to explain something to someone who is neither logical nor rational. Also, it’s impossible to explain something with reason after they’ve been conditioned to respond to certain situations in an unreasonable, prepackaged way. I tend to call them socialist sheep.
Interesting and intriguing content, good research, pleasant delivery. Thanks :-)
He has been doing this for years now.
Love the crisp detailed clarity of these images. From the tracks caused by rolling boulders, to the hidden features of the far side of the moon.
I enjoyed this way more then I thought I would, great job!
I honestly love this video, your explanations of what we’re looking at are most helpful.
I am absolutely MESMERISED by this AMAZING photography, I am 76 years old & learning every day, Thank You VERY MUCH.
one of the few channels without clickbait
I recently bought a shower curtain that has a huge 5 foot, real picture of the Moon. Thanks to this documentary I'm now able to identify some of its terrain. Thank you.
Amazing analysis of the images. Thanks Astrum. Fascinating.
Big up yourself, love the content always 😊
In ‘69 when Neil, buzz and Mike went to the moon, I was nine. Years later, I asked my mother why did we stop the moon missions? She said: the public got bored with the moon. It was just a bunch of rocks. If Buzz Aldrin would’ve found a gold nugget, it would have been a different story. Nobody would remember the name Neil Armstrong.
You were not overselling it with that title! What a stunning educational vid, belongs in every science center's movie rotation.
Fabulous thank you for sharing this.
This needs to be in VR now!
For those of you in Scotland, Alex is referring to "The Mwun".

This video was really interesting! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Excellent video - thanks!
Lunar crater reversal is an interesting phenomena . Scott's Polar expedition in the early 20th Century had trouble seeing footprints ahead of them as indentations in the snow but instead saw raised mounds they avoided in case they tripped. This was when a low Sun cast shadows in a certain direction. Walking in the other direction they had no problems seeing the footprints as the indentations they were. Another useless litte fun fact.
Best video an narrator I’ve seen about the moon ever. Really inspiring 👍
Such breath taking imagery. Great video thanks 👍❤️
Really,that makes study of the Moon so exciting,what a Universe we live in and You are a very great host of these celestial Bodies,many thanks.
"Slopping beyond the rim" -Astrum
Sloping or slopping? I mean we've all occasionally slopped slightly beyond the rim but we're not rocket scientists after all...
Watching this was a like therapy.
"Like" spending a half hour in an attempt to fool yourself. Yup. Just turn the picture over. Bahhahahahaaaa
@@truthsRsung?
@@robloxbot6004 ...Could you be more Lazy?

Beautiful narration, music, and editing as always. Luna doesn't get the love it deserves, and you guys make it easier for regular people to enjoy its majestic beauty through the eyes of Earth's space agencies.
I can't afford a telescope sadly but watching this has been an absolute dream I can't thank you enough for your channel, I'm deeply grateful to watch , listen and learn about our universe that has always held a special place since childhood.
best astronomy content, carry on 🔥
For those who don't know the late Wallace (Wal) Thornhill describes these rills as electrical in nature coming from electrical discharges between planets and it makes so much more sense. Check out (Symbols of an Alien Sky) Episode 2 The Lightning Scarred Planet Mars) Narrated by David (Dave) Talbott and get a better picture of what craters and rills are all about.
World🌞Peace 🌎🌍🌏☯️⚡️ Much ❤️ Love
Fascinating! Such beautiful imagery and interesting facts and theories. Learned more about moon craters than I already knew. Thanx.
This video is really making me realize just how much, when seeing photos from the Moon's surface, my eyes have always given me a sense that everything is super close. It completely changes my conception of it must be like standing on the surface looking around.
Here on Earth, our atmosphere makes everything far away look a bit blurry. Our brain uses this to estimate distances. Without an atmosphere, the human brain can’t estimate distances on the moon.
"My battery is low, and it's getting dark."
I would go to Apollo 11 landing site and marvel at the history of it ❤️
Ditto! Where it all began! 😊
Our great great grandchildren will visit the museum there.
@@Sashazur yeah it would be great if they put dome over the site to preserve it
I’d like to see the Apollo 15 site just to see Hadley Rille.
Always great stuff on this channel
Thanks for that fantastic 40mns trip to the moon.
There are not enough superlatives in my hyperbole to describe how marvelous is this video is. I gained so much. Thank you.
I dispute the "educated" modifier in your name if you walked away with "much." The man measured a few things while redefining sections of my Dictionary. Weathering, over, and Over. Just turn it upside down, you get a different perspective. Was that a NASA Secret? Turn the picture on its end. Did Ai come up with that? Marvelous, simply stunning, a feat of mankind. Holy Bologna
@@truthsRsung If you were a truly wise person you would know that no one understands anything right off the bat. No matter how educated someone is, people learn new things every day. This person put themself in a situation where they can learn something completely new, which is great. Bringing someone down for learning something they weren’t knowledgeable of before is just backwards.
@@sarahallen8739 ...They put a bunch of words together from a thesaurus, and managed to say Nothing Specific, just like the influencer that narrated this Video. The tone is defeatist as well, so I object TwoFold. It is perfume on poo, politicians on a Virus. I cracked on their name cuz more people needed to Look Harder at it. It might skew their judgement of the kind of Human that is ALL Flowers, Rainbows, and Unicorns. You can have your ideals, but I know the sound of dung being shoveled. Edited to Correct Autocorrect
.... You should look up what "hyperbole" means HINT: it's not synonymous with "vocabulary"
@@sarahallen8739 ...You are defending a monkey with a thesaurus. The sooner they learn that talking much and saying little keeps them from Listening and Learning, the better off we all are.
Ive always struggled with observing craters looking like domes, if i blink they go from domes to craters. .
Same here. Its freaky.
Thanks so much for sharing. 😉👌🏻
REALLY interesting. Thank you.
Me pausing it & zooming every 30 seconds looking for “alien” artifacts. I know, I know, but I find it relaxing 🤷♂️ 😂
There is a channel does that with high res photos zoomed. Can't remember name sorry.
look at 17.30 , what are all those roads and buildings? it's probably just superimposed.
@@InterdimensionalWiz 😆
17:30 anyone else see the city????
Obviously -- there are roads, buildings, airport -- Alex snuck-in an Earth city image to check who's watching closely. (I was gonna comment the same but figured I would check if someone already did first -- you beat me to it.) Alex :: which Earth city image did you toss in at this point? ☆☆☆☆
I'm supposing that is a superimposition of a city scape for scale. Otherwise it was a Big mistake!
Also at 17:59
Yeah clear as day but if it was meant for scale why didn't he say anything, is this a glimpse of his sense of humour ? Dunno...
@@andymouse It was introduced in one of the earlier videos. He said he'd do that for scale, but i guess it didn't really catch on.
Great narrative with your usual impeccable narration. Beautiful images.
Just what I needed, a nice long-form video! *makes popcorn*
This was a cool video, but It would've been nice if the measurements were at least subtitled in U.S. Customary units.
Why US?
This is like saying the video should be subtitled in Latin. It's not our fault you can't understand the units used by the majority of the world's population.
Is it just me, or at 17:28 under the red 1km vertical arrow, it looks like some kind of factory complex? Or was that graphic overlayed for reference?
for scale.
Outstanding video. The moon is very fascinating.
I love these shows. i love all your shows!
“a RIS toe chris” (Aristarchus) You actually made me cry with that mispronunciation. 😢
I'm so glad I was not the only one.
A bit cringey lol. Aristarchus (eh-·ruh-staar-kuhs)...the Greek mathematician and astronomer that first noted our heliocentric solar system. He was the first to say that the Sun, NOT the Earth, was the center of our 'universe'.
Yes, his mispronunciations make me cringe. And don't even get me started on "a phenomena"! (It's a phenomenon, Alex).
@@leenorman853 Not in this video but even more common , “criteria” when the word should be “criterion”! 😭
The lunar rover tracks should be enough proof that man landed on the moon.
Don't make me laugh
if you are that stupid, we cant help you...
They could be tracks made by aliens who also had rovers.
WHEN AND WHERE DID YOU WITNESS THE TRACKS? LET ME GUESS, FROM A NASA CARTOON?
@@jordijorditch7444too stupid huh?
I've been falling asleep watching this video for the fourth day now. Knocks me down completely. Thank you man! 👍

LOL…I feel that way about a lot of videos! Very good description!
Literal Lunatics
🤡😵💫😳
So the orbiter has been circling the moon for 10yrs and the controller center not once thought it would be cool to photograph *any* of the remnants of the apollo mission?
They did take photos of all the Apollo landing sites showing the landers and rovers and tracks. Shouldn't make assumptions without first checking.
They shot the Apollo sites in 2009 and again in 2011.
Watch the video.
You know, it really helps to watch a video before commenting about it.
The images are not very detailed though. Considering how close the LRO orbits and how good some of our cameras can be, I wonder why this is? If we can get license plate numbers from low earth orbit through an atmosphere, you’d think we could get better imagery on the moon.
This is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen.
Keep up the good work. Love the channel.
I love science and especially space exploration. I just wish that plutocratic dolt Musk wasn't running our space program, for profit.
You think Musk is running Nasa? I think you should give up your delusions of rationality.
Are you high? SpaceX does 10X more, for 10X less than anyone else. NASA has been wasting money like crazy on legacy companies like Boeing, or bureaucratic inertia.
There is no one going to pay you because you love science. Buck up Bobby.
@@TalibanSymphonyOrchestra What?
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.
@@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
I'm here because I recently have been taking pictures of the moon which shows amazing detail of the craters in great detail this is amazing information.
Holy cow this is such an amazing..... Video that makes you choke up at how intricate just our moon is.
Excellent visual and aural presentation. Thank you.
Great video. Thank you.
Awesome footbridge and comments! Thank you :)
Another beautifully crafted video, Alex.
