Pics too good to miss. :)
With all the impacts the moon seems to take, is there any footage of a new crater being made? That would be super cool to see.
Here you go! First time seeing this footage myself!

I seem to recall a story about a large impact visible to Europe from Earth sometime around the renaissance as well, but I couldn’t find it.
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing!
I imagine the yellowish tinted areas are mostly sulfur from volcanic ash emissions. That middle picture, in the section between the two mare, it looks like how beach sand is altered after being inundated with water. In general, most of the surface looks like pulverized sand on a beach, at a high level abstracted perspective view. That one section between the mare looks whetted by comparison. Perhaps ash altered the consistency enough to create a similar type of compacted appearance, but if there was water and vulcanism in the area, perhaps that was the Lunar version of Yellowstone.
Funny that the most recent research on the anomalous regions inside the Earth’s mantle have now been linked to the Theia collision through the mantle hotspot activity. So it is likely that the moon and Yellowstone are directly linked. It would be interesting to find that the regional anomalies on the moon are likewise of a similar origin. It would be interesting to me if Yellowstone’s doppelganger is right there in plain sight as well.
It’s crazy to me that you can get this much detail even through our atmosphere.
This image does a good job at making me realize we have explored basically nothing on the moon. SO much more to explore, yet we act like there’s no point trying to send more astronauts to the moon for decades. Please, increase NASA budget more.
Wait a goddamned fucking minute that’s not cheese…!
It’s cheese, gromit!
This came up on my feed. I’m not into the hobby, but it’s a beautiful photograph
Irrespective of the crater size, depth looks consistent. Does anyone know why that is?
The conspiracy about the moon is that under a thin layer of dust… it’s really all metal. /shrug
Can you see any moon landing site remains like the vehicles?
Not even Huble can see them. The moon is HUGE and the remains on the moon are tiny.
no but this is where the Apollo 11 site is
this is the COOLEST thing ever
It’s… beautiful.
Thanks for sharing this!
Came in to see the comments and my goodness they are lovely this evening!
Linking to Reddit kind of defeats the purpose of using Lemmy.
At least they posted the source
Yes. However, we shouldn’t be sourcing content from Reddit at all.
I disagree. I welcome OC content like this.
It’s not OC. If it was, OP wouldn’t have had to link to Reddit to share it.
I too welcome original content content
Wow. The level of writing failure in the headline is ALSO astronomical.
They take pictures of other balls floating around they don’t teach English give em a break
he missed two letters.
ASTRONOMICAL!!!
