The Images That Will Change Your View of Our Moon Forever (And Blow Your Mind) | LRO 4K

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 :)

I highly recommend everyone buys a telescope a good one it’s breathtaking seeing the moon and other planets with your own eyes.

And Wallace cried, for the peaks were not made of cheese.

one of the few channels without clickbait

This is not just another regular astronomy video. This is the best documentary I ever watched about the moon. Thanks for the great work!!

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

"Look at all this amazing stuff!" is the best sort of science communication.

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.

This has to be one of your best videos to date! Absolutely stunning. Thank you

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.

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. )

"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 Youtube though.

Alex, you really knocked it out of the park! Thanks for this video.

thank you for this supercut! i really enjoy long form content like this, especially on topics like these. ❤

The writing on this channel just keeps getting better and better. Of all the sci-fi channels on YouTube, 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.

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.

I LOVE your videos and the passion you have for space. Keep them coming.

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!

I'm a passionate amateur astronomer and have two beautiful 'scopes...and I've been looking at the moon for forty years and still never tire of it. 🔭 About ten or so hours after a first quarter moon, the terminator (the boundary between night and day) creeps forward and begins to hit the slopes of the crater Copernicus. And if you happen to be watching at just the right time... the sunlight strikes the central peak of Copernicus, which is higher than the surrounding crater walls, brilliantly illuminating it...while the interior of the crater remains dark. It's like you're looking at a pool of ink...with a gleaming diamond in the very center of the pool. I've always loved that. 🌗

I am absolutely MESMERISED by this AMAZING photography, I am 76 years old & learning every day, Thank You VERY MUCH.
