Watch How the Moon Was Formed

Posted by samzenpus on from the I-wonder-who-owns-that-moon? dept.

itwbennett writes "A pair of NASA videos released today show the moon as you've never seen it before. In one video, you get an up-close tour of the moon's craters, thanks to video and images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. In the other, you can watch an animation of the moon's creation and evolution."

    It is not "How the moon was formed", it is "Why the moon looks like it does". Still a very cool video.

  2. Sound by DarkHelmet · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I can't help but wonder... why am I watching a NASA video where the crater's falling on the moon makes sound in a vacuum?

    I know it's artistic license and all, but aren't videos like this reserved for nerds, who actually care about things like accuracy?
