    I am grateful for JMG. I struggled for years with Rx sleep meds. Not anymore though. This has been my sleep aid since 2017 and I don’t take a single prescription drug anymore. That’s a real service to people like me. I love this channel and everything about it. I hope it never changes a thing and never goes away.

      You do indeed get the credit. It was a capital idea for a video. Yes, the vast majority are from LRO, but there are various Apollo images mixed in as well. There's even one single early image I used from the Ranger program. The video is sort of a showcase of cool moon images I've come across over the years and saved for a rainy day. And, in fact, it actually was rainy outside during production.

    I suspect the moon is key to the unique habitability of the earth. This includes: tides, techtonic plates (ie, actual land), stabilized orbit.
    The creation of the moon via the unique collision of the planet Thea, and the mixing of the cores, may have given rise to the unique feature of earth: techtonic plates, without which we would not have land, just a shallow worldwide ocean.
    Including these calculations in the Drake equation may go a long way to explain the Fermi "Paradox".

      The far side would likely show mare if it were not more frequently impacted and cratered. Tidally locked, the near side is somewhat protected by Earth’s field of gravity.
      Those far side features have Russian/Soviet names as they photographed them first.

    • @RipOffProductionsLLC

      ​@Michael Emory also, the since the mare are the result of ancient lava flows bubbling up to the surface abd filling in those regions, being the side tidally locked towards the Earth, and thus the Earth's gravity, might have a more direct causal effect on their formation...

      It does get harder in the sense that the history of observational astronomy only has so many mysteries, but at the same time new mysteries are still cropping up. But I also have entire peripheral areas that I could dip into that I've never discussed. What of the mysteries of chemistry and how that relates to space? What's going to happen with AI? What craziness is going to happen with under water archeology and what would it mean if we found a defunct alien spacecraft? So I still got decades worth of stuff to explore in videos. It's still a matter of having more ideas than time to write them out as scripts.

    As far as the red clouds do you suppose that could be dust circulating from collapses and avalanches inside the craters? I lived in Hawaii during the 2018 eruption and when a major vent (Pu'u O'o) collapsed a large pinkish red cloud rose above the area. This came from pulverized reddish, iron rich basaltic rock. I saw this live from about 10-12 miles away.

    Ah. I remember back when I was a child, while pondering the mysteries of geometry and perception, me and my childhood cousins were hanging out in our yard (it used to be beautiful back then! It used to be a suburban area with a huge field behind our homes... not anymore). It was a full moon night with a clear sky, warm summer night. My eldest cousin, who likes to play pranks sometimes, said that he saw / thinks there are monsters on the moon 🤣. Even as a 10 year old I knew that was him being him, but it still set my mind thinking about that possibility... what if there was life on the moon? Me being the nerd and science fan that I am, I already knew many facts about the moon, but it still left me wonder nonetheless. Even today I keep staring at the moon when it's full like some sort of creep 😆 I just keep being fascinated by it... Like, just think about it for a second.

    I have a hypothesis for the Swirls, prob wrong but Ill give it a go. What if its Ice or water inside of the Lunar caves! The cave could have water vapor and be relatively insulating leading to ice only directly above the cave where as melt would darken the surrounding areas due to better thermal contact. While the Atmosphere is zero for the most part on the moon it does not need to be inside of the cave as out-gassing in some caves could almost surely overwhelm the loss leading to a very tentative atmosphere with a non-zero pressure allowing condensation. This hypothesis could be tested via careful inspection of the regions above the caves mouth possibly even via watching the regions just as they fall in and out of sunlight measuring the albedo looking for a difference between when it just comes out into the sun compared to just about to go into shade looking for vapor or lowering of the surrounding materials albedo as water melts off.

    John, please do a video on the possibility of under-the-surface (underground) intelligent aliens.
    It seems very plausible since our first attempt of colonizing a planet (Mars) will include just that.

    • @squirlmy
      @squirlmy Před rokem

      Not so plausible, no liquid water, just ice. Venus is actually more likely, assuming there is water underground there.

    One of the strangest, yet most prosaic, mysteries of the Moon is that the ratio between the Moon's size and distance, and that of the Sun, is so close to being 1:1 so as to allow us to view the Sun's corona during total eclipses.

    Cody's lab addressed the importance of keeping lunar polar craters pristine as it may hold an ideal record of Earth's activity stretching back a very long time. Although it may be a prime spot for a base, that activity may ruin important records. Any thoughts?

    • @JohnMichaelGodier
      @JohnMichaelGodier  Před rokem +7

      Cody's right. It's entirely possible that the moon could be a treasure trove of information about Earth's history. The ice is one aspect, and we should definitely study it before melting and drinking it, but imagine the stuff that's been blasted off earth over the eons. Sedimentary rocks with fossils, primitive materials that long ago melted or were subducted here on earth, all sorts of stuff might be there.
