So, you think you've seen the Moon?

- Does familiarity breed contempt or just disinterest? The Moon is one of the most familiar objects in the night sky, so familiar in fact that it is often overlooked - even by astronomers! This video might surprise you - it asks you to think again about the Moon and - more importantly - to take a proper look at it, perhaps for the first time in your life.
Presented by Robert J Dalby FRAS
Produced by DB Video Services for Astronomy and Nature TV - Наука та технологія
A re-edited version of this video is now available: ua-cam.com/video/1px2zeCgvx8/v-deo.html
It benefits from better picture resolution, various other visual improvements and, crucially, we've fixed the audio during 'the park' segment which was previously inaudible if played back on a mono speaker configuration.
Glad i found this guys videos
Great video! You're a very good teacher/presenter. You should make a "So, you think you've seen it" series and do our sun, planets, galaxies, etc.
adamaj hehe, yeah or maybe: "so you think the earth is flat"
Excellent video! I've been an amateur astronomer for 50 yrs and have never even thought of some of the things you mentioned here. Keep up the good work!
Just great! Really enjoying your videos, Robert. I know this one is nearly 7 years old, but it won't ever get old! Well done.
Outstanding video. Twenty minutes of mine well spent. Thank you.
This is the most fascinating video I have seen! You should set up your own program on TV for astronomy! Keep up the good work! And thanks for the experience! I go now have a proper look at the Moon :)
Very informative. Thank you for posting and making it in the first place.
I have learned so much from You Tube it is incredible.
When I looked stuff up in our Encyclopedia Britannica as I was growing up in Iowa, I always read items that I didn't start out looking for.
I ended up reading most of the entire library of those wonderful books.
Again thank you sir.
Thanks a lot for this film!
As a beginner amateur astronomer, I learned a lot.
The software recommendations are also very useful.
Appreciate all the awesome work you are doing and thanks for sharing!
This makes me very happy. I always have this fascination towards the Moon since childhood. I love staring at it especially when it's full moon.
one of the most thought provoking vids I've ever seen on YT...well done...just got myself an 8 inch Dob....first scope , soaking up advice from all corners of the web...
I’m addicted to these videos thank you!
As an amateur astronomer myself, I appreciate your 'No-nonsense' approach and the light-hearted way you put over the information in an easy to understand way. You are able to put people at ease by removing the high-and-mighty approach some take. Well done and keep up the good work. An interesting point that some may find interesting for scale, when looking at the full Moon, imagine dividing the diameter by about 2100 times as that's what looking at something one mile across would look like as seen from Earth. BTW, that's about the resolving power limit of my largest telescope. :-)
My favorite video of UA-cam... Liked and subscribed
You guys are great, I have watched loads of your vids and they have really helped me out a lot with my telescope
Wasn't expecting that. Excellent video, and very interesting!

Good story teller, thanks.. brilliant entertainment !! You've sold it to me !!
Very well presented - clear and educational - you should do this for a living! I got the distance and size questions pretty close - I remember blocking out the moon with a pencil at arms length. Nice video, thanks.
Really nice video. Thanks for that. I really wish I had a clear sky at the moment.
love it ,love it , keep doing them great videos !!!
Thanks Robert for another excellent informative video!

Cracking good and Informative Vid !!! :)
hello from Des Moines Iowa!!! great vid.
Do you know bill bryson ?
Amazing content.
I love your vids!
Thanks! I had no idea that the moon changed in apparent size like that. Cool!
Great video again! Thought it would be at least 1 meter, considering the size of the earth and moon. Very interesting!!
Thanks for the video... Great way to show the size and distance.
Awesome video. I watched the end 3 times :)
Very educational & oh so interesting. Keep up the good work.
Thanks very professional.
Great ending.
Regards from North Wales
beautiful and clever way to explain the whole thing thanks a lot
Outstanding video!
Well done for another supurb Video. Put over in an interesting way which just brings it all into perspective and make you want to spend even more time looking at the Moon, which is some times forgotten as a subject to view
Thanks

What an excellent video. You are a great presenter.
Very enjoyable!
most impressed. Well done you!
brilliant, graphic and usefriendly explanation.. well done.
Thanks for mentioning Ilford...my old stamping ground...lol..😂😂
Excellent video and very informative.
Wow...have I ever looked at our closest neighbor in our sky in the most improper way. I thank you for getting me correct on what I havebbeen looking at mostly each and every nigh.I have been under the impression that after my school years s I have view things in a not so perfect way.
Watching you clip.your demonstration and listening carefully to your words I will now look at our mind with eyes wide open and not in a hale based in correct view.
Thanks from a Yank in the Catskill Mountain Range of NY State USA.
There is so much to revisit in As from my that I thought I had down pats so many years passed but now in my 70 and getting back into the hobby and thanks to your channel I might just understand more about the world we all live in. Right in time before the day comes when I take my last journey out of our word. It will be so nice to know where I sort started and where I will travel to when the day comes as I depart Mother Earth in search of Heaven and Gods Kingdom.
Thank you sir... Well Done

Mind blowing video, thanks!.
Hi there and thanks for posting, glad to hear you liked it. if you haven't already done so, please don't forget to subscribe - it helps us more than you might think and ensures you won't miss our next upload on telescopic astronomy. KR A&NTV
Excellent video.
3:05 is real estate the best choice of words lollll
Very nice and diferent way to teach.
my 10x50 celestron upclose bins arrived today. and it was a crisp full moon.......... bloody nora, I was amazed..... I have now ordered the skywatcher skymax 102 eq2 I have been humming and arring about for a month. Cant wait until I can get another chance to view it with a sky like tonight in higher detail.........will be watching more of your videos thanks..
You can speak well without demolishing the romantic aspect...after all one can see the beauty of the moon in the sky and with the beauty of its light one cannot help to 'love it'...so full moon for facts presentation, just no need to undo what we love . Thank you.
Well done guys great video.
So glad I found this dude.
SO AWESOME
Watch out, Sir Patrick, you have competition. Most excellent.
Excellent video
you are awesome sir!
Great video
Great, very informative video. I think that the best way to illustrate earth-moon distance though is to try to fit all of the planets of the solar system in between them. you'll still be left with roughly 4000km of empty space
Unexpected nice.
Very very cool video
Very nice video, very good work guys
Very interesting and professional presentation.
Very interesting.
You are blowing my mind
very nice
I had a dream several years ago that I flew like Superman to the moon. It only took about 3 seconds. It's probably the most realistic dream I've ever had. I was down on a vast plain slowing moving about 3 feet from the surface and looking up at the face of a vast, high mountain range, just like what he showed here. I flew up on top of this mountain range and looked down on the vast plain. I could see the earth above the horizon, in color, just like that famous picture of the earth taken from the moon. The most fantastic dream I've ever had!
Although it has been up since 2012, i had not seen it. A great Video clear and easy to follow I have downloaded the Moon Globe HD App i must say it is a great App . My Grand children will love it while looking through the scope to identify the craters Ect. Late in the day i know but a big well done from me.
Fascinating! Why were lessons nowhere near as interesting as that when I was at school?! Just got our first telescope, a Skywatcher 130p AZ goto, so we're complete beginners lol
it all comes down to "who teaches it".
I could listen to this guy for hours
I will always bear in mind:)
Interview It's a wonderful voice.
I was entertained.
8 years after this video, we're on the verge of obscuring the night sky with 60k and more satellites
I paused the video to measure. Good point on eyewitness. :)
Very interesting.You should write books about astromony,you make it so easy to understand.Thanks again for posting.
this is cool :)
From what i saw, very well presented chat. Unfortunately once you went 'in the feild', my device decided to decode the audio all wrong. Called it tho, moon at that scale is about a few meters.
Nfi why the audio has gone bad tho. Good stuff tho. Praise be to the moon. Tides are pretty handy, n a balanced counterweight is always worth having ;)
very interesting
The best part of this video is at the very end when you, Robert J. Dalby, saved the world! We earthlings, including future generations, are eternally indebted to you.
Loved the chasing the earth scene
i gather he kicked it too.
Excellent video and presentation. Why is this man not presenting on TV?
