Do Scientists Have Answers For These Phenomena Seen On The Moon? | LRO 4K Episode 4 

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...🌙

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.

I love how it sounds like this guy has a massive smile while 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

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.

Binged on every single video prior this one and I cannot get enough! The visuals are mesmerizing and you do a phenomenal job narrating. 🙌

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.

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.

Discovered your channel last autumn and binged watch all your content since - the perfect blend of fun and informal. Love it! Please keep going!!

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.

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.

I am so entranced by the quality of images from the LRO ✨ Thanks, Astrum, I enjoy your LRO playlist

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!

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 this kinda stuff! Please do more like this. On Mars too. Thank you.

Dude, your channel is easily top 5 on RU-vid in my opinion. Outstanding work!

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!

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...

What a relief to hear this calm voice after all the usual chatter and verbiage of the tube. A joy.

10:06 "A peak like this one, poking out of the surrounding darkness..." -- is perfect setting for a sci-fi horror movie! :)

I would like to see a surface temperature map at different times of the year.

It's been a while since I visited this series, so if you are new to it and want more, check out the playlist here: ru-vid.com/group/PL2gLpWRK0QlBOzmGtXt1y_gnS2WShTbTa

Love your videos thank you, and your videos have a lot of planetary geology! Something I would love to know more about, so thank you again =)

Stunning images, and always very informative narration...Astrum rocks.

always a pleasure watching your videos mate, keep up the sensational work

Gotta love those hi-res images!! Thanks Astrum!!

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...

Pauli E, Ryder, and Koch craters under a topographic map makes a phallic shape that amuses me greatly. This is my favorite part of what I learned about our moon today.

Always interesting and well done, Alex. Thanks for sharing this with us.

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

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 ...

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.

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?

Moon is so enigmatic, I love to look at it with my 10” telescope, never get tired of it...

What an experience! All very good talking points on your analsys of the moon images.

It’s truly a blessing we have such an interesting and accessible natural satellite.

It’s surprising that we can find water in the most unexpected places all around! The universe is full of surprises.

The first time I looked at a full moon through my little 7" telescope I felt like I looked directly into the sun without any protection. It was surprisingly bright. Can't wait for the next time I'll be able to see the full moon through my telescope

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.

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.

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.

We need to establish a colony on the moon first before Mars

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?

These images are truly impressive. Some of these craters seem to have bubbled up from within the moon at some point. I assume you have a video showing (or explaining why the images can't be shown) of remnants from the Apollo missions?

No matter how much someone is into space, when I show them the moon in my telescope they are always genuinely impressed

great video, once again. thanks for sharing

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.

Another great video. I would love to see more of the dark side of the moon, as there are so few photos of it and it’s so less well known.

Thanks for the 4K resolution.

@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".

'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.

So peaceful listening to you pal, respect x

These images are even more stunning, when you see them on 4k on OLED :O

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.😉

Excellent explanation. Thanks for your. Dinesh Mysore.

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.

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.

Very great video quality. You definitely deserve every subscriber you have. One day I aspire to make a channel like yours I’m just not that confident in my voice but I want to try Ps, you should make a video on wormholes :)

Awesome video ! I enjoy it so much ; Thank you for sharing . Have a nice Sunday my friend !

Our beautiful moon, and your narration is a spot on as always!

One of the best narration voices on RU-vid!

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 love you’re videos!!! You’re voice is honey to my ears lol

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.

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.

Absolutely stunning images. Very interesting comments.

Beautiful images. Thanks for the content.

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.

"What would cause that?" "Worms. Big worms under the ground". Wouldn't kill you to say worms. Just one time!

Thank you ..clear..concise and comprehensible 👍👂👀

Loved this! One of your better productions.

quality stuff man

Great stuff!

*Awesome footage, thanks for sharing*

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

The artificially aged crater next to Messier A is like distressed furniture, artificially aged!

It's 4 am and I can't sleep. So watching this.

AHHHH!!! DEADLY BUT BEAUTIFUL!!!!! LADY MOON !! EXCELLENT NARRATION INDEED !! WATER ON THE MOON !!!! AND IN THE ATMOSPHERE !!! THANKS "ASTRUM" FROM U.K. (2021).

Wowow... What a great images, i didnt even know they are avalible fir public. Grat pist bro, as always, love your channel 👍

The moon is so underrated. I hope we will have a colony there in my lifetime.

I had been getting this in my recommended for a few days now, after my recent binge into weird lizard people conspiracies, i just figured this was another troll video. I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks. 😃 Subbed

Superblu Said.. Good to know about it.. Colonys can be made on these spots.. Where water is there.. Thanks..

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.

Man I love these videos ;_;

Yes Astrum on RU-vid!.

yeah i love the moon.. i have talked to it a few times... i have no idea why,but it feels like a witness to everything

There is a distinct lack of ejecta to the west southwest of Tycho crater. That and other clues in the crater walls and impact melt suggest an impactor hit the Lunar surface from the west southwest at ~ 25° - 45°.

Love the Astrum

Would be nice to see what's left behind of the apollo missions too.

This was particularly good. Great job.

8:16 is there a link to the topographical map of the moon? Would love to see more of this. Thanks and great vid!

1:00 an "innocuous little unnamed crater", henceforth to be named the Alex Maccoulgan crater.

Im amazed learned a bunch ,but I was hoping for some ancient ruins revealed that NASA was covering up.

I don't know about space or the moon but always loved the sky and ive been searching what causes crators in the moon but I do love looking at it through my cheap scope and Jupiter amazing space and sky 💯💯💯👌🇬🇧

I never get bored looking at the moon,

Thank you Astrum! Keep em coming man love your channel!

i would like to name that unnamed crater: revieman’s hole dibs

This video is blowing my old mind!

Well done, keep it up.

Astrum: What do you like about the Moon? Me: Yes!
