  • is it me or does this video look a tad...cartoonish?

  • love the video man

  • what i would do to see this for myself

  • Comment removed

  • Japs need to get better at CGI, this looks from a 1998 movie

  • It's a joke.

  • the earth set brought a tear to my eye , we are distroying this drop of blue in the darkness

  • the earth aka germany

  • How can you even press the dislike button.

    This is fantastic!

  • i cant see any borders

  • Breathtaking, then, now and forever!

  • where are all the stars though?

  • @kasia97 Its unbelievable that there is still a lot of people disorientated and brainwashed by all that sci-fi movies we have. In space movies, directors always puts lots of stars on background because it looks better. But if you see some nice effects in movie, it does not mean its real. Why do you think you cant see any stars from the city? Or when the full moon is on the night sky?

  • @TommyTMOD light pollution.

  • i think the old one looks better

  • wow !

  • why do so many people refer to our planet as a rock, for me it is much more than just a rock. For me it´s beautiful and just to think how many species can call this their home! I find this very emotional!

  • If you fancy seeing possibly the most extraordinary photo ever just wikipedia "pale blue dot". It was a photo taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft at a distance of about 6million km. The earth is just visible as a tiny speck of light.

  • oh yea... so wheres the ten thousand satalites. and the space station.. we dont even see a flicker ... a twinkle.. but we can see clouds water land... lmfao.. no stars either.. but we clearly see sun light and shadows. yea right. go look at live satalites around the earth.... then come back and look at this video again and ull know you should be able to see at least twinkles of them this video is two clear and too pristine.. hd right. WHERES THE SATALITES AND SPACESTATION.........

  • @tinman842

    i can't see your house either all the way from the Moon, lol...

  • @tinman842 You can't see them because they are too small to be seen from that distance. Look at the size of Australia and then remember how big these satellites are on earth and then you'll realize that it would be too small to see a satellite flying in space from the moon. Remember too that these satellites stay fairly close to Earth and are nowhere near the moon.

  • @tinman842 wow whatta dumb comment. cloud paterns can spread over a lot of miles. a storm cloud pattern is typically more bigger than ISS, shuttle, or whatever satellite. also you dont see stars due to the fact the HD cameras light received is overwhelming any distant specks similar to the original apollo footages.

  • The jap video looks like fucking CGI.

    Didn't take CSI to work that one out.

  • 0:01

  • Third rock from the sun.

  • could be better... they need to hire a better team to make this computer generated images work

  • why does the camera go back on the earth decent and forward on the rise....

    come on

  • Thank you so much for this vid man.

  • I thought the moon didnt rotate?

  • @VeritasAmantesVocat It does rotate at a speed synchronous to its orbit around the earth. The ability to film an earth rise/fall comes because of this "wobble" motion here: watch?v=FCKmZXhVvkQ

  • @VeritasAmantesVocat Although, the rise seen from the kaguya satilite because it is orbiting the moon

  • 1:20 Dark side of the moon? Wait a minute, where the fuck at the transformers? lol

  • We should look after that blue ball a bit better.

  • there aint starts in the frigging space?!

  • @AQWorldRatburgers You're freaking retarded.

  • @jedihunter176 so youre mom

  • @AQWorldRatburgers Is that even a sentence? That makes no sense whatsoever.

  • YEPPP THE GLORY HOLE!!!!

  • Informative Video. Greet from Pakistan

  • i love earth, its where we come from. Not countries or whatever territories, but earth.

  • Comment removed

  • Wonderful imagery, gives meaning to life.

  • Errrm its widely accepted that the original shot is fake. The second one looks even more fake. You wouldnt be able to see seas or continents due to the atmosphere glowing from the suns radiation. Some folk will believe anything though i suppose

  • @daftweebrush -- No. It is not "widely accepted that the original shot is fake."

    And of course you can se seas and continents. It's Earth. It's not Venus. Not everything is covered in clouds all the time. Weather satellites see seas and continents all the time.

    (Only the kind of people who claim you couldn't see continents would think it's "fake.")

    But then, some people will believe any kind of fraudulent "analysis" if it tells them something they can consider special.

  • its always been my life long dream to travel to space. the only thing stopping me is the $13.5 million for a seat on the shuttle and the cancellation of the nasa space program

  • why doyou want Earth man

  • THERE IS NO RISING EARTH IN MOON'S SKY !!!!!!!!!!!

    earth doesn't move in the sky watching from moon surface!!!!

  • @mariomeraviglioso

    Except that the satellite isn't watching from the surface, it's watching while it's orbiting. So the earth looks like it's moving.

  • haha, almost every real piece of footage of the earth is so badly over exposed xD

  • fake and gay

  • this vid was fake

  • what is the name of the song ?

  • WTF? the moon is tidely locked (It doesnt spin). How the hell is the earth gonna set?

    THATS IMPOSSIBLE!

  • @dt28469 The moon spins you fucking idiot.

  • @yesiamawizardjonny hahaha! You dont have the proper picture in your head. the same side of the moon is always facing the earth. How can the earth rize or set from the moon? Think about it.

  • @dt28469 Because the moon orbits the Earth, numbskull... Try it. Take a tennis ball and a basketball. Revolve and rotate the tennis ball around the basketball.. Now take a little command module or satellite replica and have it orbit the tennis ball. You'll notice you move out of the line of sight of the Earth and then back into it. Hence, an Earth rise.

  • @yesiamawizardjonny the moon does not spin, it is always facing the same way.

  • @3KOBAIN Yes, the moon spins. It rotates at the same rate as it revolves. If it didn't spin, we wouldn't always see the same side of it.

  • @yesiamawizardjonny no we see the same side because it doesn't spin

  • @3KOBAIN I it does not spin we would see the dark side of the moon every month, it does spin, one lunar day is 28 days long.

  • @3KOBAIN Fail... Take a tennis ball and a basketball. Revolve the tennis ball without spinning it at all. It will not have the same side facing the basket ball. Not rotate the tennis ball slowly as you revolve it. It will make it so the same side of the tennis ball always faces the basketball. The moon spins, trust me..

  • @3KOBAIN The moon has to spin, for the same side to face Earth all the time. The moon makes one complete revolution around Earth every 27.3 days and rotates on it's axis once every 27.3 days

  • @dt28469 The satellite was orbitting the Moon. You are correct that a stationary observer on the Moon could not observer and "Earthset" or "Earthrise".

  • @bluecode320 OK I believe that, but why doesnt the ground appear to be moving?

  • @dt28469 But it does appear to be moving; take a look at the ground at the image at 0:30 compared to the image at 0:45. It's obvious that the satellite has moved in that time.

  • @bluecode320 Oh yeah thats true. I can see it now.

  • @dt28469 it's orbiting the opposite way

  • Is it just me or does the moon look kind of fake??

  • the Japan images look to be fake. I am not discrediting the poster of but something looks weird about it/

  • @chance0982

    Yeah.. Same thing.. Where is stars.. Look very fake..

  • @Psychoactivated You cant caputre starlight with a regualr camara. But on the other hand, the earth DOESNT SET on the moon unless your moving away from it.

  • If I could of have been on one mission it would have been Apollo 8.

    To see this planet as it truly is for the first time as it rises above the moon must have been an emotional overload.

    Throw in the reading of Genesis on christmas eve and you've got one of the most poetic moments in human history.

  • Amazing what America has accomplished :)

  • Comment removed

  • @Hahaokman how can you say "Amazing what *AMERICA* has accomplished". The whole world accomplished this ever since day one. Without one and others inventions and improvement in technology we would not be where we are today.

    oh and P.S this is a *JAPANESE* video *NOT* *AMERICAN*.

  • @shannonkuch Americans were the first ones to land on the moon dumbass.. And don't say anything you think would be correct that is not.. Go look it up.

  • @Hahaokman you know who started nasa? NAZIS and NAZIS are GERMAN, NOT AMERICAN :P

  • @shannonkuch Well the nazis did have some good scientists BUT!!! The american people are the ones who progressed to landing on the moon and other amazing things... But I don't even care so...

  • @Hahaokman yeah neither do i

  • @Hahaokman The first moon landing was a hoax ....now whos the dumbass

  • @BananafiedBread Im sure it was a hoax

  • The Earth "rises" and "sets" because the Kaguya is orbiting the Moon, not standing on it...

  • Imagine tripping acid on the moon........ WAYYYYYYYYY too intense

  • yea but id give anything to rip my bong up there

  • who else gets that weird feeling when they realize everything thing the human race has ever done, everything it has ever achieved, everything we know in life all happened on that tiny little blue rock in the middle of nowhere.

  • @sometimesdonkey54 well it's not a blue rock it's a rock covered with many things like water! which is the blue part you were talking about <.< do you understand?!!?! :P

  • @shannonkuch i hope that is you just tryna be funny.

  • @sometimesdonkey54 Carl Sagan does

  • @sometimesdonkey54 i do...

  • @sometimesdonkey54 If the known universe was twice the size of the sun, the earth would be smaller than an electron.

  • @sometimesdonkey54 You sir, sound cheesy as fuck

  • @sometimesdonkey54 The point is everything we have done is in the name of discovery, humanity greatest achievement is not landing on the moon but the will the carry on and discover new worlds, its such a shame that today the shuttle has ended. For the future of mankind we need to venture further and further into the cosmos

  • idk that Japan footage looks an awful lot like 3d rendering that looks nothing like the moon. Im sorry.

  • i can see my house

  • @187BURNZY no you cant

  • Can someone help me find what music this is? Amazing video by the way, I've watched this soooooo many times!! Thank you :)

  • 1:04 beautiful sunset, i mean earthset, my home is beautiful

  • damn I left the bathroom light on !

  • This would be incredible to witness first hand. Sadly the closest I think I'll get in this lifetime is that signed photo of 'Earth Rising' hanging on my office wall - the bloke was a dear friend of my parents.

  • The moon is tidally locked to the Earth, which means the same side is always facing the earth. There can't be an Earth-rise on the moon, unless you "emulate" it by moving towards the side of the moon that faces the Earth.

  • Comment removed

  • Uh the moon does not spin to make an Earthrise. The same face of the moon ALWAYS faces the Earth. The moon spins as Earth as its axis making so the moon is always facing the earth from the same point on the moon. No rising of Earth possible.

  • Fantastic

  • The US at it's peak!

    We will be a 'has-been' country if the wrong right have their way.

  • @luveraaab

    The US will become a 2nd rate country not because of any specific group of Americans, but because of Chinese & Indian (+ maybe EU) tax revenue.

  • When do you stop being above the Earth and start being away from it...

  • @Tyrannobeast Technically, you can't go above the Earth, you always go away from it.

  • @Tyrannobeast How long is a piece of string?

  • How is it possible that the Earth is blue when viewed from the moon? It should be white. If you question my comment then use google.

  • @myBuddy1017 why would Earth be white? (not arguing, just curious)

  • @blacknwhite6969 The moon we see now is colorful, and because of its atmosphere and the how far it is away from us, the colors fade away and you see it as white. The same would happen vice versa, since our planet is colorful, and we know it is, but because of our atmosphere and the distance, it'll appear white like we see the moon.

  • @myBuddy1017 do you have any sort of source to back this up? it sounds a bit like rubbish to me, that's why i ask!

  • @myBuddy1017 -- The Earth is not white because it is blue. The oceans are the largest feature of the Earth.

    The moon does not have an atmosphere. If it had an atmosphere, we would be able to see it. The atmosphere would cause distortions as we look across the edge of the moon at stars.

  • buen video

  • and your happy man gived down in the dark parth ... soo he was visible....becouse he's from USA right ?... WAHAHA now STFU and keep your opinion for yourself....oh and Ru..is not friend with USA anymore...sacker :P I preffer growup in Ru than USA even if someone come at me and say ,,come in USA and live forever '' Ru No.1 oh yeaaa

  • Hey Billy...let's fight and :D haha and I say GO FUCK YOURSELF..now u have a reason to hit me :D Yuri Gagarin maybe was first Ru.. who walk on the moon...but in USA I can't trust anything it was in time of ,,COLD WAR'' soo they needed publicity..haha.. and one more....the Flag was in moved...why? becouse one the moon exist wind <3 ? ohh verry intristing.. hahaha next date when they will walk one moon I can see water ? oh btw and in shadow of moon nothing can be visible .

  • "Earthset" at 1:05 is hilarious. As "Earth" goes down behind hills, you can see the Earth cover the tips of those hills just briefly. Worst special effects ever.

  • Everthing about Man to Moon is a big lie so STFU ( ohhh one more....they use a stupid camera Non-color only black and writh when pretend walked to moon and after that use a color camera to recording earth hmm don't you think that's really sucks ? maybe don't but keep your thinks ( have a good day ) or maybe not :D

  • @yowyowjim "

    You must be one of those conspiracists thinking he is smarter than 41 years worth of science and engineering.. get over it; we went to the Moon.

  • @yowyowjim You really think Russia would allow the US to fake it? They tracked every moment of the US space flights. I guess the US and Russia were great friends back then and they decided to let the US fake the moon landings so we could win the space race. Even if you ignore the fact that there is no evidence at all the moon landings were fake, do you really think Russia wouldn't scream foul? You conspiracy people are funny with your total lack of thinking ability along with a dash of paranoia

  • @shananagans5 Arguing with hoaxers is pointless. They exist in a world of "9/11 inside jobs", toxic contrails and Art Bell books. It's all the same bunch. Real life is too boring for them apparently, so they have to make up James Bond-ish conspiracies to give their lives meaning.

  • @jtkirkfan2002 No doubt. It's irritating that you can't look through NASA vids without seeing conspiracy nuts everywhere. It can be amusing when I am in the mood but That is not very often.

  • It's real. The dialogue in the beginning is as well.

    Just do some research on the first clip. Type the date and earthrise and it's easy enough to find out all you want to about it. I really don't see why the debate about it being fake. It has already been said, but the stars won't show up with the contrast it is really common sense.

  • the same side of the moon is always facing earth. It's in synchronous rotation. So someone who understands this concept should explain to me how they filmed an "earth rise" and "earthset". . .

    Don't anyone think I'm for the "lunar landing hoax" conspiracy because of this. I am fascinated by the moon, and the rest of space also, and the synchronous rotation thing popped into my head.

  • @jordanbaker424 nevermind. I guess if you were orbiting the moon, your orbit could simulate an earthrise or set

  • @jordanbaker424 When You orbit the Moon, sometimes You are above the side we see from the Earth and sometimes You are above the far side. When You go round the Moon from the far side to "our" side, You must of course see the Earth "rise" behind the lunar horizon. They were in an orbit, not on the surface.

  • @jordanbaker424 The device was in orbit of the moon, just like the astronauts who took the pictures in 1968 were. The "Earthrise" effect was created when they moved from the dark side to the light side.

  • The 2007 earthrise clip is fake. Shame, shame.

  • don't make comparations of sport stadion with this big sky full of stars...lol you can see in same nights more stars one the sky.... and you can see verry low when in the sky are clouds ( now you can go to moon with no clods no nothing... and tell me you will see few stars than from earth ) hah.... how you see my english's bad but nvm that ...don't try to explain something couse this is just a big joke :P

  • @yowyowjim You can SEE stars from the Moon if You look straight up and if You not have the very brightly illuminated ground in Your field of view: You can even photograph the stars that way. But You can NOT have the comparatively faint stars on the same photo as the sunlit ground, without totally overexposing the ground. That should be easy to understand, i think.

  • First one's a fake.

  • what big joke... oO where are stars ? wtf

  • @yowyowjim Wow.

  • Some people just don't get it,I mean ..this IS us,we are so shattered as a people,why?

  • some of them are fake....

  • I can see my house!

  • it almost looks fake, but I know its not OR IS IT O_O

  • great

  • It almost looks fake but its not is it?

  • so where are the stars in this video? moon has no atmosphere to penetrate so surely the stars should be everywhere.

  • @Misguidedism They are there, the light from them is just to faint to be captured with the exposure settings used.

  • @Misguidedism The stars are there, but theres too much contrast to see them with such a short exposure. Its the same on Earth, you cant see stars in the daytime. Its not an artifact of our atmosphere, but of pure contrast.

  • So gorgeous....

  • THIS IS COMPLETE FUKING SHIT!!! THE EARTH CAN"T RISE FROM THE MOON!

    god i hate ppl who make this shitz...

  • Comment removed

  • @DamienDoe Its impossible, only ONE SIDE of the moon face the earth, the moon doesnt spin on its axis, it just orbits the earth

  • @MrAmerica99997 Do you forget, that the spacecraft was orbiting the moon (and moving)? So there is no impossibility for a rising earth.

  • @CHSarahBs Well that is true. but if you are standing on the surface of the moon it would be impossible. But yea, you are right

  • @MrAmerica99997 Ah ok. I have understood your post in the meaning of sitting in a spacecraft and not being on the moon surface.

  • @MrAmerica99997 One very weird thing about the moon is the way it always keeps the same face to the earth. Another weird thing is how it's the perfect size to eclipse the sun. Yet another is how it has a reflective surface as if it's intended as a night time replacement for the sun.

  • @RavenPrecept That's earth gravity that locks its rotation like that. Mercury does the same with the sun. The size isn't anywhere near perfect, since to see a "total eclipse" you need to be in a precise area of the Earth's surface when it happens, otherwise you see a "partial eclipse".

    It doesn't have a particularly more reflective surface than the average asteroid. It's just very very close (astronomically speaking).

  • @bobafetthotmail You miss my point. During the total eclipse you can see the moon is the same size in the sky as the sun. The amount of light reflected by the moon is very significant, being the difference between a very dark night and hardly dark at all.

  • @RavenPrecept I was saying that to see a total eclipse you need to stay in particular places of the globe at a particular time. This means the moon just projects a shadow on Earth, its size isn't "perfect".

    Look at this pic:

    en.wikipedia.o rg/wiki/File:Geometry_of_a_Tot­al_Solar_Eclipse.svg

    The amount of light reflected by the moon is significant, but that is due to sheer huge surface and close vicinity to Earth, not because of its supposedly magical material.

  • @RavenPrecept And, what about dark nights, and not so dark nights? It's only during full, or almost full Moon that the night is not so dark. In other times, and also with heavy clouds, the Moon doesn't give much light. So, what's the "significans"?

  • @YDDES I don't know the mechanism by which the moon is significant. I am working top down, not bottom up. I don't believe that it makes sense to assume that the Earth and the Moon being the same size in the sky is a co-incidence. Being as this planet supports life it would be fair to say that any unlikely arrangements are in fact the conditions needed for life to develop. I would suggest that a womans menstrual cycle and the period of the Moon are linked. I am not the first to note that.

  • @RavenPrecept WEll, do You also think that it may be significant for life on Earth that the highest mountain and the deepest deep are almost the same, counted from the oceans surface? That is, just for this moment. There have been much bigger differences. It's a totally unscientifical behaviour to search for significance where it isn't appearent from the outset.

    The womens and the Moons periods has nothing to do with the amount of arc seconds the Moon occupies in the sky. Continued...

  • @RavenPrecept ... continuing: It's more likely that it has to do with the tide. Maybe as long back as when we crawled up on land. Or, as some scientists say, were "watermonkeys", living at the shores. I'm sure there are scientifical theories about it, but I haven't studied it much.

    But, i still wonder how You can think that the Moons appearant size can be of any importance for existence of life, since it has slowly moved away from the Earth since it was formed.

  • @RavenPrecept "I would suggest that a womans menstrual cycle and the period of the Moon are linked. I am not the first to note that." You aren't the first to be wrong in this either. ww w.skepdic.c om/fullmoon.html

  • @bobafetthotmail If you believe in Darwin's natural selection then you might imagine that there would be many slight variations on what we have as a solar system. If the moon could have been that bit bigger or smaller in the sky than the sun then we could be living on that planet. Perhaps it's a natural selection thing that our moon eclipses the sun precisely. There are many such chance arrangements which are probably required for life. After all we would not be discussing this on a dead planet.

  • @RavenPrecept natural selection just states that suckers die, really.

    Astronomy is another thing entirely.

    For life to develop a planet must have a decent atmosphere, to have a decent atmosphere it must have a magnetic field (otherwise you get Mars or Venus-like planets), and to have a magnetic field, it must be big as the Earth at least.

  • @bobafetthotmail This is my point, we do not live on Mars. Maybe there is a microbe on Mars but not a man. Natural selection did not select Mars. If Earth was not in exactly the right place in the solar system then we would not be here. God may have put the Earth where it is or Darwin's Natural Selection says that out of all the variations of planets this one was the fittest, or at least fit enough for life. So look at the Earth and Solar System and realize this is the way it needs to be.

  • @RavenPrecept And with that what the hell you wanna say? You're just stating the obvious.

    Also, natural selection does not "select" where life will evolve, it is not a deity.

    It is just a fancy name for a natural process that kills off the individuals not able to survive.

  • @RavenPrecept The Moon eclipses the Sun just for this moment. It slowly moves outwards, so, in some million years, it can no longer eclipse the Sun entirely. And the eclipses have nothing to do with the ability of life on Earth.

  • @YDDES This planet and this solar system are perfect for the type of life we see on earth. This could be the result of natural selection. With the billions of other solar systems out there it is possible that there are ones with the moon just a bit bigger than the sun in the sky. However we are ALIVE on one where the moon is the same size as the sun pretty much. We do not live on Mars, it has to be noted. Conditions on Earth are just right, therefore anything could be significant.

  • @RavenPrecept Do You have any theory WHY the the visible size of the Moon could be significant? As I said, during most of the four billion years there has been life on this planet, the Moon has been much bigger than the sun in the sky. And, every sun-eclipse is seen only from a very limited area, during a very short time. How can that be significant for the evolution of life? I think You invent a "theory" without the slightest scientifical support.

  • @YDDES If you were to multiply all the odd random co-incidences that came together to allow life on Earth you will see that it's not just chance that we live here. When you lose your keys you always find them in the last place you looked (you don't keep looking once you found them). If you evolve on a planet then you always evolve on one that can support life (or else you would be dead). Therefore the strangest things we see in the solar system are the things required for the life we see here.

  • hey look at my home overthere called earth lol

  • damn :o the hd view looks bit like 3d generated (3d designer) ^^

  • Beautiful...What is the music?

  • FAKE!!

  • @TheJcp1234 Yes, because compared by sizes Earth from the Moon looks to small. Than the Moon from The Earth.
