Moon Week March 27th - April 5th 2009. International Year of Astronomy Part 1 of 2

I think it's about time we discovered a few truths about the moon. For instance why Nasa blacked out the horizons on much of the moon footage taken on the moon (yes I believe we went to the moon). When you look at their images most of the horizons are smooth. What we should have seen were large mountains and other shapes which reflect much light. Look in this video for an example. Part 2 which I'll upload later will take a slightly closer look at this particular area.

Film through a 12" telescope and NOT using one of those crappy web CCD cams. Enjoy!

yeah baby let the truth of the moon come to light, so many do not know, but how many r ready?

:d

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvVfmAhoZSk Lunar Ray Crater Copernicus filmed froom Earth for Moon Week 2009 using a 12" Meade telescope by JLW. Watch in high quality, says HD but is not true HD and as you can see this quality conversion is ok bnut could be alot better.

Wiki - Copernicus is visible using binoculars, and is located slightly northwest of the center of the Moon's Earth-facing hemisphere. South of the crater is the Mare Insularum, and to the south-south west is the crater Reinhold. North of Copernicus are the Montes Carpatus, which lie at the south edge of Mare Imbrium. West of Copernicus is a group of dispersed lunar hills. Due to its relative youth, the crater has remained in a relatively pristine shape since it formed.

The circular rim has a discernible hexagonal form, with a terraced inner wall and a 30 km wide, sloping rampart that descends nearly a kilometer to the surrounding mare. There are three distinct terraces visible, and arc-shaped landslides due to slumping of the inner wall as the crater debris subsided.

Most likely due to its recent formation, the crater floor has not been flooded by lava. The terrain along the bottom is hilly in the southern half while the north is relatively smooth. The central peaks consist of three isolated mountainous rises climbing as high as 1.2 km above the floor. These peaks are separated from each other by valleys, and they form a rough line along an east-west axis. Infrared observations of these peaks during the 1980s determined that they were primarily composed of the mafic form of olivine.


"Picture of the Century" oblique view of the interior of Copernicus from Lunar Orbiter 2. NASA photo.Based on high-resolution images from Lunar Orbiter 5, Terry W. Offield of the U.S. Geological Survey described the crater as having,

...a hummocky crater rim, numerous large slump blocks on the crater wall, and a complex of central peaks. Sets of parallel fractures, aligned with the lunar structure grid, formed after the crater wall took its present form, but before the smoothest floor materials were emplaced. The smooth floor materials show a swirling pattern of cracks like those seen on terrestrial lava flows. These materials are associated with numerous hills that have summit craters and are probably small volcanoes. Several low places on the rim and wall are partly filled by what appears to be ponded volcanic material, or possibly fluidized impact debris.
Copernicus is a prominent lunar impact crater located in eastern Oceanus Procellarum. It is estimated to be about 800 million years old, and typifies craters that formed during the Copernican period in that it has a prominent ray system

not with that attitude u wont! :)

[relax]

Man I hate those video's, same uninteresting clips looped and zoomed with nothing to see but vague shapes that could easily be rock formations, but stare at it long enough as you're forced to in the videos and your imagination can easily take over. Lovely massive text as well, has anyone even tried to copy these videos or does john lenard just like to explore the regions of his own anus?

Y u slag off people that are bring you information, if u dont like his vids dont watch them, and leave us alone to discover the truth. :D

Dont understand the first part, sure you're from south england? I dont watch the vids if I dont like them obviously.. but you've got to watch some to find out if you like them are not, are you a retard?

[itsallinus]

umm. I'm afraid I have to agree to some extent, I could not make out much from the videos as his name and the copyright are there all the time..perhaps he forgot to remove them after the few seconds they are needed for people to read. The images themselves seem to get quite 'wobbly' when up close and I honestly can't make much out from them anyway...they could be from the moon but could also be taken from a kids sand pit in the back garden at night..

..I don't wish to offend, I am merely stating that I could not see anything strange or 'unmoonish' since I was not able to recognise the images as being on the moon in the first place! And I had a sight test yesterday!! :confused:

Another thing is you know that moon picture of the astronaunts standing on the moon looking at earth , why in the background you dont see any stars? i would think you would see billions of them

[itsallinus]

I am sure it is the moon, I was trying to point out the quality of the images make it difficult to know what I'm looking at..

..I find it interesting that there is the idea the moon was not always here and that there was no mention of it in early historical records/documents etc..also, that its been gradually moving out of orbit and maybe not be here for much longer..? Anyone else heard this?

if the moon is moving further from earths orbit, it will be either down to the magnetic changes of earth or the surrounding solar system or, the draconain empire are moving it, tho they may move it back slightly i cant see them moving it to far from earth, its a very important out post for them. :)

Good point! I also heard that it could have an influence on our awakening and that by moving away slowly the effects are gradual rather than everyone suddenly awakening all at once and their heads exploding lol!

Sorry if I have taken this off topic! Opps..

Clavius Moon Crater filmed from Earth for Moon Week UK 2009 by John Lenard walson with a 12" scope. Please Watch In High Quality.Edit and audio by Gridkeeper with full permission.

Clavius (crater)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crater characteristics

Clavius on the moon. NASA photo.
Coordinates 58.4° S, 14.4° W
Diameter 225 km
Depth 3.5 km
Colongitude 15° at sunrise
Eponym Christoph Klau
Clavius is one of the largest crater formations on the Moon, and it is the third largest crater on the visible near side. It is located in the rugged southern highlands of the Moon, to the south of the prominent ray crater Tycho.
Description
Due to the location of the crater toward the southern limb, the crater appears oblong due to foreshortening. Because of its great size, Clavius can be detected with the unaided eye. It appears as a prominent notch in the terminator about 1-2 days after the Moon reaches first quarter. The crater is one of the older formations on the lunar surface and was likely formed during the Nectarian period about 4 billion years ago. Despite its age, however, the crater is relatively well-preserved. It has a relatively low outer wall in comparison to their size, and it is heavily worn and pock-marked by craterlets. The rim does not significantly overlook the surrounding terrain, making this a "walled depression". The inner surface of the rim is hilly, notched, and varies in width, with the steepest portion in the south end. Overall the rim has been observed to have a somewhat polygonal outline.


[edit] Crater floor
The floor of the crater forms a convex plain that is marked by some interesting crater impacts. The most notable of these is a curving chain of craters that begin with Rutherfurd in the south, then arc across the floor in a counterclockwise direction forming a sequence of ever diminishing diameters. From largest to smallest, these craters are designated Clavius D, C, N, J, and JA. This sequence of diminishing craters has proved a useful tool for amateur astronomers that want to test the resolution of their small telescopes.

The crater floor retains a diminished remnant of a central massif, which lies between Clavius C and N. The relative smoothness of the floor and the low size of the central peaks may indicate that the crater surface was formed some time after the original impact

Lunar Moon Crater Copernicus Close up 2009 filmed through a 12" Meade LX 90 telescope by John Lenard Walson. Video edit, audio and hosting by Gridkeeper. I tried to get this clearer but it's still not enough. The original film is incredible. This might look better when viewed on a Mac and old PC screens, not the LCD ones. PLease watch using the high quality option.

My astrophysicist friend told me it moves 1cm away every year. Whether that's true or not i don't have a clue.

Maybe if you looked at Nasa's moon images at one of their websites then you'd know what the moon looks like. They have some great pictures of sandpits.

It depends what camera you use. But you have a good point. I wonder if they (nasa) talk about that.

Looks like a pyramid structure. Not natural.

Is it me or is there another one to the south east , and pehaps a third in a line.

Similiar to Giza / orions belt ?
