If the Moon were at the same distance as the ISS

Trivia:
When the Moon eclipses the Sun, the camera exposure is adjusted so that you can see the Light of the earth reflecting back upon the moon. This was actually done by using a stand in Earth model to get reasonably accurate Earth "shine", it is Blue on the left side because the moon is flying over the Gulf of Mexico, and is white/tan on the right side because that part is over the United States . it is Dark in the middle because it is casting a huge shadow, and that shadow does not reflect light back on the Moon. I didn't quite expect it to look like this, it was a nice surprise

At this distance the Moon would rise in the west and set in the east, The Moon Orbits the Earth counterclockwise when viewed from the North pole looking *down*. the same direction that the earth rotates. Normally the Moon orbits much slower than the earth rotates so it rises in the east and sets in the west, however at 420km it orbits much faster, faster than the earth rotates underneath, therefore it will rise in the west and set in the east

The Moon would orbit very fast, somewhere between 130 mins and 90 mins, i'll work this figure out later, it's actually a simple problem, but i'm busy!

the Moon is tidally locked in this animation, even thou it doesn't *seem* like it. The reason for this is that we are Not viewing it from the center of the earth, but rather it's surface

the 420km altitude is measured surface to surface. the center to center orbital distance is 8528km

The time in the video is sped up. the moon would transverse the sky slower.. like 10 mins (rough guess at this time)

The Moon is well within the Roche limit. at this distance the Moon would break up and form a new ring system. The Earth might also be destroyed.

The Moon is not in anyway Transparent, when it sets you're simply seeing the sky in front of it, and earth shine reflected onto it, remember it's in Space, it isn't in the air

Monetized or not I will submit a takedown, I used to Ask people to to take down my video, they have *always* ignored it, I don't bother asking anymore. You can embed or playlist to your hearts content thou. I want to create videos for a living and it hurts me financially for other people to just rip them off.
You can ask for permission. I'm always interested in publicity :)

That's cool af. But terrifying at the same time. It still would SUCK when the moon blocked the sunlight! :D

[exz]

Surfing would be interesting to watch with the new waves.

*Wakes up and opens window... stares at huge moon for a straight 10 seconds then closes window*
"Just another wacky day... *yawn* "

[MrMaxer]

It would fall on earth. It's too close. Far beyond earth's roche limit.

[jccastillo]

First of all, that would be terrifying as fuck and second, tides would go bananas, and third, the moon would get ripped apart because it is in the earth's roche limit.Also, who found it scary when the moon blocked the sun and turned the sky like creepy and shit.

[aducksecho]

Man these effects are so cool. I like how great he lighting is

[DovydasRybakas]

I would officially CRAP MY SELF, if I saw a moon this close to earth, and if it was this close, it would be the end of the world lol.

[DrScrubbington]

"Son, why are you afraid to go to school?"
"I'm not mom, I'm just fucking terrified of the moon..."

[door-to-doorhentaisalesman]

I'm more freaked out at those extremely low altitude clouds in the horizon.

[smaklilu]

Do this also from the moon's perspective

[SuperScottCrawford]

Besides the fact that this just looks incredibly realistic, what gives it that tangible solid-punch of realness, is the audio. Choosing not to put music was smart. Adding the scene appropriate sound was artistic.
I can literally see a lady sitting on the grass chatting to a friend. Because she's seen it her whole life, she's not fazed by this very incredible, gigantic, super moon.
She's like "Yeah... the moon. So what?"

I love your videos.
The way you add the visual effects with minimal fanfare, with birds chirping and traffic humming in the background, make it feel much more authentic.
Subbed.

The moon looks like a certain space station in the beginning of this video.

[mn]

This would be so cool...
I wonder if you would be able to jump higher with it directly overhead?

[Pellaeon]

These videos are amazing, thank you for them. The visualisation is mindblowing, it really feels... you know, real :D

[myjinxmalex]

You forgot the part where the ocean comes rushing over the mountain and drowns you.

[mickcarson]

Ok, now you're becoming scary, you and your fucking Moon. So close, it's like touching it.

[yetidynamics]

yes, many times a day, depending upon the season and your location.. in some places you would never have an eclipse

Thankfully The Designer made everything just the right size and distance from each other so Life could exist on Earth.
Thankfully The Designer made the atmosphere of Earth clear so we could study outerspace.
Thankfully the Designer made the moon just the right size and distance allowing for all the discoveries to be made during the solar and the lunar eclipses.

I thought I was scared but then it went dark
