Moon Through My Telescope August 31, 2010 (Great Seeing Conditions)

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.

The seeing conditions were really great and you can see that in the video. There is almost no distortion caused by atmospheric turbulence.

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, so you 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.

i know someone who is/was an astromoner on one of those big ass telescopes in chile and he said there is no rover or any signs of us ever being on the moon. it was just a bunch of esoteric masonic nonsense that Disney was part of with the zionist!!!!!

Even with one of those "big ass" telescopes you wouldn't be able to see those things because they are too small. People often tend to forget how big the features on the moon are. The smallest craters you see in this vid are still over several hundreds of meters in diameter!

And the laser reflector placed on the moon by the crew of Apollo 11 is still there. It learned us that the distance to our natural satellite is increasing with 4 centimeters each year.
