Moonstruck: Heads up! LRO gives wonderful views of the Moon

A fantastic video showing high resolution images of the moon surface, all taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Breathtaking New Images of the Moon



Definitely check it in HD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjkPeexEdyI

SpaceRip description: Get the full experience of these images in 1080p. Buzz Aldrin described the "Magnificent Desolation" of the lunar surface. Rarely do those words ring as true as in these recent images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Revel in the detail of these images, and the severity of the Lunar surface, then be thankful you're relaxing on a green and blue world sheltered from the hostile environment of space.

  1. And for those who can't await to finally spend some nights on the Moon, two really compelling documentaries:
    Living on the Moon

    Colonizing The Moon

  2. In case you're looking for part 2 of "Living on the Moon" - it seems it's not online on YouTube anymore, but you can watch it there:
