Moon Pictures

February 23rd, 2012 17 comments

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.
