NASA's 4K virtual tour of Earth's moon

NASA offered an insanely detailed and up-close view of Earth's moon when its Goddard Space Flight Center released a 4K virtual tour on Monday, April 9.

The U.S. space agency reports the data for the video was retrieved by its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. (NASA)

Never seen the moon in this much detail before. Awesome

[komandorbentus]

Why so short? I have expected more! :P

[mackabeats]

Am I missing something? It's says 4K but it's only in 1080p?

[yogizoe]

Why can't NASA ever show actual footage???? Why is it always cg😠

[themodsify]

This is amazing! The amount of people in the comments that believe this is actual footage of the moon is just amazing!

[venth]

craay how it's showing up close somethig i can look at outside my window right now

[shiddy.]

0:54 imagine the mega Stirling engine that could sit in there

[fishlife]

Makes no sense, some of those craters are perfect circles. Makes you think someone is lying to us.

[RonsWorld]

What is this? This is cgi? If not, then we are being showed only what they want us to see. I did not know that a satellite moved in this manner like a Hollywood camera.

" STUNNING " !!!! I couldn't help, pausing the video when it got to the Apollo landing craft !! My brain felt like it went into a sort of re-calibrate mode seeing how tiny an area they actually explored on the surface !! thank you

On 2:17 is Tycho crater. There should be a black monolite from "2001 Space Odyssey" by Arthur Clarke.

[MrSridharMurthy]

Awesome ! Thanks ! I prefer going to the moon than mars ! 🙂

Our moon is spherical ✅
Our sun is spherical ✅
Our stars are spherical ✅
Our earth is spherical ❎

[savagesooner]

Just really want to see the footsteps of
Lance Armstrong and Buzz Lightyear to prove the Apollo Creed missions actually went there...

[Kachlimpen.]

NASA Y U NO SHOW THE STRUCTURES FFS U NOT FOOLING ANYONE

[strajkovski]

what I want to know is ? why don't they have a rover operating on the moon full time, if it breaks down just send a replacement.

[lylesmith]

What I have always found strange about the Moon is that every crater would seem to be created by a direct on strike no matter where they are ( they are circular and should not always be the case)

[Laviolette]

It is an excellent ride to our nearest neighbor. There is so much we know these days with so much more we do not. Targeting the lander base in the zoom-in is a great reference of image quality.

[bensumpter]

How do you know Tyco Crater is 100 million years old?

[lostinpa-dadenduro]

Where the alien base? I know you hiding it.
