This is how you can see the moon through my telescope. Zo kun je de maan zien door mijn telescoop. Tu peux voir la lune comme ça à travers mon télescope. So könnst du der Mond durch mein Teleskop sehen. These are some pictures I still had. They were good enough to put on YouTube : ) You can see everything the moon has to offer. Craters, big lava seas (mares), mountains (montes) and even the Alps Valley (Vallis Alpes). Some people don’t believe that you can actually see all this. I got a message for them: look up into the sky every now and then. Go visit a public observatory, soyou can see it with your own eyes. Discover the incredible surface of the moon. When I showed the moon to my mother she actually asked me: “What is that?” And I was thinking “Huh? Did a plane pass in front of the moon or something?” I looked up. No planes. So I said: “That’s the moon mom”. “Really?”. “Yes”. This is not sci-fi. This is something you can see with your own eyes and it is beautiful.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is working on three of the most ambitious projects in its history just now. These multicycle treasury programs are using Hubble’s unique ability to observe across the spectrum from ultraviolet, through visible, to infrared light, to build up a library of data which will serve astronomers for many years. After circling the Earth for over two decades, Hubble has been responsible for many fascinating scientific discoveries. After the visit by astronauts in 2009 to service the spacecraft and to install new instruments, the telescope is now at the height of its powers. As the observatory has matured, attention has turned to some ambitious projects on a scale that would not have even been considered a few years ago. Between them, these projects could help answer some of the biggest questions in astronomy today, and will contribute to science for many years to come. Now, observing time on Hubble is a very precious commodity and it’s hugely sought after. That means that when astronomers want to use Hubble, they have to apply for observing time. And in their application, they have to be very detailed about what it is exactly they want to study, and how they’re going to do it. Now this process works just fine for the vast majority of projects which usually have very focused scientific goals. However, once in a while, Hubble gets used for something much bigger, with much broader scientific goals. And in these cases, the normal way of handing out …
Audio – Thirteen taken from the now released Latest audio house/dance release from Gridkeeper – Moon Transmissions ep www.amazon.co.uk Gridkeeper music channel: www.youtube.com Moon filmed through 12″ Telescope 2009 in the UK during Moon Week March – April 2009 by John L Walson. PLEASE WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY. Re edit and audio by Gridkeeper on the 1st April 2009. The moon filmed from earth through a 12″ telescope. Most of the images show more detail than many of the Apollo pictures and film. Says HD but is not true HD. Original film is at a much higher quality. Footage in the video was recorded on the 29th of March and early morning on April the 1st which is why there are TWO dates shown in the video.
