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!
We were there and are elsewhere in the galaxy, kind of. About the craters is funny because they have only one reason. just open your head to things that you cannot yet imagine.
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.
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
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 picking up the details of the craters, it gives me that "we tiny humans" feeling. And to think that those details have been and likely will be around for longer than humans have existed. 🤯
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...
Yeah, that hit looks unusual bearing a distinct n and s fan. Yet the crator is oblong or elliptical. Unreal. Two hits at the same time? No. Electrical arcing is more likely. Study the electrical universe.
I'm no physicist, but I believe the westward lines are debris directly left over from the westbound impactor, and the north and southbound rays are the result of splashing ejecta, like you'd normally see on a direct impact. Think of it like a normal crater, just turned 90 degrees so down now becomes west.
@@marcw6230 hubble doesn't work well on stuff this close, only on really far away stuff. theres some images of neptune from hubble and while they are okay, they're underwhelming and definitely couldn't be used to study surfaces of planets.
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
it's not unique tho. that happens frequently in our very solar system. i think there are three Jupiter moons that get this effect from their fellow satellites. well it all depends on where in their orbits they meet, really.
@@GraveUypo yeah but nobody lives on jupiter to cry out and call it a life changing experience. Sorry but I think it's the creator of what was and what will be who enjoys our child-like fascination even on the 21st century with this 'woooow!' Effect God loves his witnesses and we are it! What an honour to witness his wonderful creation.
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.
@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".
Craters are circular because when the meteor impacts, it explodes like a bomb and sends out a blast in the same way that they do on earth creating a crater.. That’s why the large meteor isn’t left In the center of the crater. Cause it isn’t there anymore
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.
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?
What do you think about the report that says the crust on the "Dark side" of the Moon is much thicker. One theory is that there were two Moons in the same orbit at one time and the second Moon slowly overtook the first Moon and merged.
@@FishnChips136 "Two moons" not the dominant theory... Obviously the distribution of density of the Moon is not spread evenly throughout the sphere; the moon is tidally locked to the earth and the gravitational anomalies have been well studied.
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.
lava is often described as having the fluid dynamics of honey. Geologists describe rocks as behaving like warm butter when compressed over geologic time. It's analogies the layman can understand easily.
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...
@@Oldhotdogwater Really depends on what you can afford. I got my Meade 6" Reflector from Costco about 15 years ago for like $199. If you can afford bigger, do it: significant optical improvement and depth of space capability. Spend some time googling from experts more than me. There is a learning curve. With mine, you can see the rings of Saturn, some detail of Jupiter and the Moon is kickass.
@@JohnnyAngel8 it makes sense because hydrogen, helium and oxygen are the bulk of the universe as far as matter goes. Seems the thing we should be looking for is planets not just in a habitable zone, but planets with magnetospheres. Because without magnetospheres even planetary bodies holding h2O in a habitable zone would've evaporated it back in to space long before we found them. If we lost our magnetosphere we'd be done pretty quick. Well done. 🤣
It's not unexpected at all. I don't know where you got this idea but permanently shaded bottoms of craters are exactly the places where we thought volatiles would've been trapped.
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.
"we may take the moon for granted..." But the funny thing I find about the moon, is that it is the one thing that I've seen so many thousands of times before, yet NEVER gets old. Every time I see it, I think "Isn't that just the coolest looking thing!"
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 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.
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.
When the Apollo missions landed on the moon, did anyone the landing with a telescope ? Would it have been possible even to SEE the landing with a telescope ?
@@KillerMosquito Lol no it's way to small, the lander was like 4m across and the moon has a diameter of 3500km idk about you but my 7 inch telescope barely gets the whole moon in frame.
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.😉
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
_Everything_ NASA does is available to the public because it's paid by taxpayer money. It's all without copyright and freely available. Was, is and will continue to be. Same case with most other agencies like ESA or JAXA.
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 ...
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.
I'm not sure, since this was a thought that was considered during the 1st moon landing. There were concerns over the lander's gear potentially sinking into the lunar surface given the unknown density of the surface. However, their concerns proved unfounded. Of course, that was a gentle landing, not a massive interstellar impact!
@@RidinDirtyRollinBurnouts We handle a lot of powders in my line of work, and in the production line we have something called a vibro fluidizer. It basically creates micro vibrations to make fine powders behave like a liquid. If you stop the machine suddenly, it does look slightly as if you just froze a flowing stream. I’d imagine that it would be even more pronounced in an environment where there is less gravity. With a huge impact, maybe the moon vibrates in a similar way, causing the dust to behave like a liquid until the vibrations stop. And unlike in our machine, there is no real gravity to flatten the powder afterwards. Obviously I have no experience with lunar dust, its just something that sprung to mind.
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.
@@ceazdamoment12 ; Earth’s Moon has gravity. It is 1/6 of earth’s. A Moon outpost or colony would be inside a pressurized enclosure which would have breathable air. Same principle as the International Space Station or on earth, a submarine.
7:16 "Which means it has been artificially aged" Shouldn't that be "Prematurely aged"? I'm under the impression artificial is an intentional thing done by a conscious being
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?
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 :)
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.
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.
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
Back in high school (1973) I took an astronomy class. The teacher asked me to speculate: "Where would you build a colony on the moon?" I replied "Somewhere you can get a lot of solar power and not have to suffer the 14 hours of darkness." Which is the north and south poles on a mountain peak. Thanks Alex and Astrum! The only other way is to "time share" solar power by superconductor channels from two or more sites that share sunshine.
The elite so called upperclass psychopathic parasitic authorities and their secret society's DO HAVE BASES ON THE MOON AND MARS FOR DECADES ALLREADY, BUT NEVER GONNA TELL US NOTHING ABOUT THAT!!!
I have this wish, that we would find that a base of an Alien race, eons ago - placed a high resolution camera styled/recording device on our Moon, observing Earth. Man - the things we could sort out & have answers to in our past history, would be astounding.
I'm certain if they did find anything on the moon, it would likely be classified! I'm sure they found something... The sudden interest to race to the moon again and all.
Astrum Time : 5:32 ! As a clock, center up to between 10 and 11 O'Clock and also along about 2/3rds the distance from center to that direction, you'll see a dark PERFECT SQUARE! Why?
NASA isn't covering up anything. It's not the only agency in the world that examined the Moon. There are other countries. You're implying a vast global conspiracy, which is not only ridiculous, but downright mentally deranged thinking. We haven't found anything artificial on the Moon we haven't put there by ourselves already.
@@lajoswinkler You never know man. We can't possibly be the only intelligent life in the universe if you want to call us intelligent. Anything that would go directly against the status que of the governments would be an utter global upheaval. There are many religions that speak about a time man witnessed the moon being brought here vs always being here. The odds of the moon being at just the right distance which is the same size as the sun viewed from Earth is just too overwhelming as a one off considering we have no proof that it's possible of the same circumstances anywhere else yet naturally.. Whether anything artificial exist on the moon or not is not out of the realm of possibilities. Have an open mind dude. You don't have to believe it. But don't down others who do. We are only human. We "don't know everything."
After I posted almost the same question I saw your comments. I mean if it has been mapped so extensively seems they'd want to put conspiracy theories to rest.
The moon is looking a whole lot more interesting than Mars right now to me. I'll bet the next geological discoveries are going to be incredible! and change current theorys about how the moon became. Earth's natural satellite.
I keep catching myself staring at this like a young child watching a magician for the first time. Laughing, smiling, holding my breath in anticipation. Space man, space... Ain't it somethin'?
Colonies are more far-fetched think signal relay instead. Part of a larger network of satellites and landers orbiters orbiting ceres Mars Jupiter all just a network of satellites keeping an eye on everything at all times.
With the number of crater we see, they better build a good electro magnetic protection field to protect the installation against small objects. For larger object it is impossible.. There is no magnetic field like earth. It is dangerous. And the radiation are a problem also. The human should resolve this protection field, and anti gravity first before trying to play the explorers.
AHHHH!!! DEADLY BUT BEAUTIFUL!!!!! LADY MOON !! EXCELLENT NARRATION INDEED !! WATER ON THE MOON !!!! AND IN THE ATMOSPHERE !!! THANKS "ASTRUM" FROM U.K. (2021).
T Mst- I don't know enough to comment on your suggestion. What I'm thinking of is something along the lines of Birkeland currents on Earth. For example, the Moon perhaps taking a direct hit from a massive CME from the sun and resulting in counter-rotating spirals of EM drilling into the surface of Moon.
The” Electric universe hypothesis “ has answers to a lot of these questions, and to my mind make perfect sense, I wonder why mainstream science do not take any of their ideas into consideration, I always wondered why the majority of crater impacts were perpendicular or 90 degrees , the theory that is taught in schools is laughable, I am now satisfied thanks to EU, a slow change is coming,it will be painful for some,but for those with truely open minds, it will be a refreshing change from the mainstream dogma 🙏
scott mills- It does look good for a number of EU theories at the moment. One example, academic support for dark matter seems to be dropping off significantly recently and some researchers are proposing concepts that sound potentially compatible with EU ideas.
@@jesstowns10 yes absolutely, there have been so many lightbulb moments for me in last few years, from planetary scaring, weather patterns to the electrical interaction within atoms, and although I haven’t been following lately the Safire project looks very promising. I try to objectively see both sides of the debate but increasingly the so called settled science is sounding very backward, fumbling for answers, inventing physically impossible scenarios just to fit the paradigm, it’s only a matter of time.
@@summerbrooks9922 Gravity doesn't allow the formation of hollow bodies, for it pulls the denser material to the center. The moons you're likely referring to possess ice surfaces with subsurface oceans.
@@ominous-omnipresent-they looked at your head lately.?.the moon is too close,too big,& adjusts its orbit. you really think its a querk of nature,,we get eclipses.?..so perfect..if the moon has no gravity,why so many craters,?.even ones FACING EARTH,!! shouldnt it be pretty smooth,& we have all the damage showing. or as much.even though we have atmosphere,were a damn site bigger,,unless you look at pics of earth from the moon,,we are the same size,,funny,eh..
I’ve always had “vibes” about The Moon. Why is it equidistant that The Sun makes Eclipses? & The Moon is tidally locked? It follows U when Ur walking in the dark? Plus, all the tales of Moon-Madness?
What I like about the Moon, is that it keeps the core of the earth molten and the Earth's magnetic dynamo going, preventing it from becoming dead like Mars. The Moon is as vital to life formation on Earth as is the Sun .... and they're both almost exactly the same angular diameter from Earth, visible during solar eclipses ... coincidence?
If they were exactly the same angular diameter you might be onto something, but as you stated "almost" is not good enough, therefore no coincidence. See annular eclipses, there is one coming to your planet very soon!
Definitely NOT a coincidence. Trust me I'm a moon sign. I've learned how to tap into it and discover how and why it affects me/us due to whether or not it's a visible full moon in the sky
@@astrumspace How about a really tall structure? Presumably we should be able to build taller buildings on the Moon, thanks to its much lower gravity and no need for concern about wind or earthquakes. Would we be able to make any tall enough to catch enough extra sunlight to make the expense worthwhile?
@@Temp0raryName You would be better off shipping batteries to the moon than the wherewithal to construct such a monolith merely to place solar panels on it.
Batteries are heavy and it would be uneconomic to send them up for a single use. They need some way to recharge them to be viable. Such as solar panels. As for building a dedicated structure, that is potentially viable, as you need make it no heavier than necessary to support the solar panels. It could be inspired by dragonfly wings or the like. But if some crazy billionaire is building a giraffe zoo, ladder warehouse and communications tower, one on top of another, then slapping on a bunch of solar panels could provide free energy!
When I graduated from high school 1972 I took a job working at a lumber mill in McCloud California. On the weekends I would drive down to Redding California to see my girlfriend. It would be late on Sunday night driving back to McLeod basically right underneath Mount Shasta 14,000-foot Peak, there would be about six feet of snow on the ground, and the moon would be full. There's no words to tell you how beautiful that was, something you have to see for yourself I guess
5:52 towards the right side you’ll see a square shadow, right angles and everything, it might be nothing but still looks crazy you can see it at 7:17 too
Without knowing the depth of the fine powder covering the moon almost all images are consistent with hydraulic shockwaves caused by impact energy. Even the double concentric circles are consistent with hydraulic shockwaves. As for the obvious dust slides resembling flows it is perfectly consistent with pyroclastic flows or desert sands.
I think it's pretty telling on current cosmology that the best they can come up with for concintric craters is the lava hypothesis. To postulate that lava only tried to surface directly under these craters is absurd. Even given the argument that the initial impact weakened the underlying layers, it's not likely to have done so perfectly centered. Given the number,age and distribution of these craters I would think whatever they are distributed around very telling. Could it be that the magma field they seem to surround is metallic from far below and thereby conductive. That would seem to point more toward an electro-magnetic phenomenon to me. Just a little food for thought.
Most lunar craters by far are circular and therefore where created by a perpendicular strike which makes it imposable that they were made by random collisions all coming in at 90 degrees to the surface. Plasma lightning bolts discharging onto the surface of the moon when on close approach to another large body (eg Earth) will always strike perpendicular, will create "bullseye" craters, will create lines of craters, and will perch small craters on the rims of large craters as well as scavenging material from around the crater to create a moat. Electric Universe paradime.
@@susmarcon I think you misunderstood my sarcasm. I as well prescribe tothe electric universe paradigm, I only hope it continues gaining support. The evidence continues to build and will soon become as we think it now, irrefutable. E.U.

Not quite the same because of different obit distance and even different dust from the impact objects, and dust from the belts and from distant stars.

Yeah, that hit looks unusual bearing a distinct n and s fan. Yet the crator is oblong or elliptical. Unreal. Two hits at the same time? No. Electrical arcing is more likely. Study the electrical universe.
I'm no physicist, but I believe the westward lines are debris directly left over from the westbound impactor, and the north and southbound rays are the result of splashing ejecta, like you'd normally see on a direct impact. Think of it like a normal crater, just turned 90 degrees so down now becomes west.

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
Enjoy it, while it lasts. In a few ten thousand years it will be too small.
it's not unique tho. that happens frequently in our very solar system. i think there are three Jupiter moons that get this effect from their fellow satellites. well it all depends on where in their orbits they meet, really.

@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".
Craters are circular because when the meteor impacts, it explodes like a bomb and sends out a blast in the same way that they do on earth creating a crater.. That’s why the large meteor isn’t left In the center of the crater. Cause it isn’t there anymore
always a pleasure watching your videos mate, keep up the sensational work

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?
Great topic!
What do you think about the report that says the crust on the "Dark side" of the Moon is much thicker. One theory is that there were two Moons in the same orbit at one time and the second Moon slowly overtook the first Moon and merged.
Nice!
@@FishnChips136 "Two moons" not the dominant theory... Obviously the distribution of density of the Moon is not spread evenly throughout the sphere; the moon is tidally locked to the earth and the gravitational anomalies have been well studied.
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.
And with near 0 gravity how would lava or honey 'flow' before cooling off on the ice-cold surface ?
lava is often described as having the fluid dynamics of honey. Geologists describe rocks as behaving like warm butter when compressed over geologic time. It's analogies the layman can understand easily.
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...
I never get bored looking at the moon,
I am so entranced by the quality of images from the LRO ✨ Thanks, Astrum, I enjoy your LRO playlist

@@JohnnyAngel8
it makes sense because hydrogen, helium and oxygen are the bulk of the universe as far as matter goes.
Seems the thing we should be looking for is planets not just in a habitable zone, but planets with magnetospheres.
Because without magnetospheres even planetary bodies holding h2O in a habitable zone would've evaporated it back in to space long before we found them.
If we lost our magnetosphere we'd be done pretty quick.
Well done.

It's not unexpected at all. I don't know where you got this idea but permanently shaded bottoms of craters are exactly the places where we thought volatiles would've been trapped.

Astrum: What do you like about the Moon?
Me: Yes!
😊😉
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.
Love this theory, I agree.
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.
No matter how much someone is into space, when I show them the moon in my telescope they are always genuinely impressed

@@KillerMosquito Lol no it's way to small, the lander was like 4m across and the moon has a diameter of 3500km idk about you but my 7 inch telescope barely gets the whole moon in frame.
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.😉
Lol
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.

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.
I'm not sure, since this was a thought that was considered during the 1st moon landing. There were concerns over the lander's gear potentially sinking into the lunar surface given the unknown density of the surface. However, their concerns proved unfounded. Of course, that was a gentle landing, not a massive interstellar impact!
@@RidinDirtyRollinBurnouts We handle a lot of powders in my line of work, and in the production line we have something called a vibro fluidizer. It basically creates micro vibrations to make fine powders behave like a liquid. If you stop the machine suddenly, it does look slightly as if you just froze a flowing stream. I’d imagine that it would be even more pronounced in an environment where there is less gravity. With a huge impact, maybe the moon vibrates in a similar way, causing the dust to behave like a liquid until the vibrations stop. And unlike in our machine, there is no real gravity to flatten the powder afterwards.
Obviously I have no experience with lunar dust, its just something that sprung to mind.
Or like stepping in thick mudd.
It’s truly a blessing we have such an interesting and accessible natural satellite.

Colonies are more far-fetched think signal relay instead. Part of a larger network of satellites and landers orbiters orbiting ceres Mars Jupiter all just a network of satellites keeping an eye on everything at all times.
With the number of crater we see, they better build a good electro magnetic protection field to protect the installation against small objects. For larger object it is impossible.. There is no magnetic field like earth. It is dangerous. And the radiation are a problem also. The human should resolve this protection field, and anti gravity first before trying to play the explorers.
Its already been started humans have already experienced it, the leaders of earth just wont tell us..

For example, the Moon perhaps taking a direct hit from a massive CME from the sun and resulting in counter-rotating spirals of EM drilling into the surface of Moon.
The” Electric universe hypothesis “ has answers to a lot of these questions, and to my mind make perfect sense, I wonder why mainstream science do not take any of their ideas into consideration, I always wondered why the majority of crater impacts were perpendicular or 90 degrees , the theory that is taught in schools is laughable, I am now satisfied thanks to EU, a slow change is coming,it will be painful for some,but for those with truely open minds, it will be a refreshing change from the mainstream dogma 🙏

I’ve always had “vibes” about The Moon. Why is it equidistant that The Sun makes Eclipses? & The Moon is tidally locked? It follows U when Ur walking in the dark? Plus, all the tales of Moon-Madness?
What I like about the Moon, is that it keeps the core of the earth molten and the Earth's magnetic dynamo going, preventing it from becoming dead like Mars.
The Moon is as vital to life formation on Earth as is the Sun .... and they're both almost exactly the same angular diameter from Earth, visible during solar eclipses ... coincidence?
If they were exactly the same angular diameter you might be onto something, but as you stated "almost" is not good enough, therefore no coincidence.

Without knowing the depth of the fine powder covering the moon almost all images are consistent with hydraulic shockwaves caused by impact energy. Even the double concentric circles are consistent with hydraulic shockwaves. As for the obvious dust slides resembling flows it is perfectly consistent with pyroclastic flows or desert sands.
I think it's pretty telling on current cosmology that the best they can come up with for concintric craters is the lava hypothesis. To postulate that lava only tried to surface directly under these craters is absurd. Even given the argument that the initial impact weakened the underlying layers, it's not likely to have done so perfectly centered. Given the number,age and distribution of these craters I would think whatever they are distributed around very telling. Could it be that the magma field they seem to surround is metallic from far below and thereby conductive. That would seem to point more toward an electro-magnetic phenomenon to me. Just a little food for thought.
Most lunar craters by far are circular and therefore where created by a perpendicular strike which makes it imposable that they were made by random collisions all coming in at 90 degrees to the surface. Plasma lightning bolts discharging onto the surface of the moon when on close approach to another large body (eg Earth) will always strike perpendicular, will create "bullseye" craters, will create lines of craters, and will perch
small craters on the rims of large craters as well as scavenging material from around the crater to create a moat. Electric Universe paradime.
