People having been selling plots of Moon land since the 90s. Now the legal claims to that land is dubious at best. And has basically been seen as just a scam, but you can technically buy something that says you own a plot of land there.
I don't think this is from Artemis II. There's an awful lot of people trying to farm internet points off of moon videos claiming they're from the current mission.
Okay, I just looked it up on snopes and they showed this video.
“The video was a compilation of images an amateur astrophotographer posted to Instagram on April 3. The photographer said he created the clip by processing and stitching together "tens of thousands of frames captured" with a telescope and camera.”
I believe this is a false color image. I don't know if this mission produced any false color images, but false color doesn't mean fake. It just means that they enhanced color to highlight variations in the data. It's just as real as your eyes since your eyes can be enhanced by perception and even distort reality. In that sense the image is more reliable and true than your eyes.
Most of that video is not the far side. Those large dark patches are what you can see on the Earth facing side. In fact the landing site for Apollo 11 appears during this transit.
They know that, that's why they asked "IF" the far side was similarly colourful. They know the video is from the near side. They want to know if the far side has a wide verity of colour like the near side was shown to in the video.
Yes, because I was explaining their question to make it clearer. Because the original formatting clearly wasn't obvious enough. The If emphasis was mine, to get the point across that they weren't talking about the side shown in the video. And that they were asking about the far side of the moon.
It's not even that, it's the material itself and how light reflects off of it. The more reflective materials will send far more light towards Earth, thus resulting in their colours being seen far more dominantly within our telescopes. Because of how light spreads out over the distance between objects in space. So the subtle less reflective colours simply get washed out because the majority of the light reaching Earth isn't the coloured parts.
You do understand that looking through a telescope the colours are impacted and diluted by the very different rates that the different regolith reflects the suns lights. So the finer less reflective colours get washed out due to the much more reflective ones sending way more light to the telescope. And that viewing them closer has the impact far lessened due to light diffraction being less.
You're right, but that's not something that your average person is going to know about. There's no need to be condescending when teaching people something that's new to them.
So you are projecting your own trauma and issues onto other peoples intentions is what you just said there. You heard condescending when I was genuinely asking if they understood how the effects of light work planet to planet and through a telescope. Because many will understand how it works, but might not have connected all those things together into a situation like this. You projected your own bias onto me. Because when I explain things to others, I like to ask their level of understand first
They were needing out so hard! I’m so glad that NASA gave them a pass on formality because it really brought a human element to the entire thing. it was such an exciting day.
Ahh... yeah... that makes more sense than "Making out with someone completely to fulfill your neediness and not at all out of interest of the other person"
my phone is my point of reference so if it takes a 40k monitor to see the interlacing I’m good and that answers my question I’m not going blind yippee’

Looks flat like the earth

It is indeed very much flat like Earth - ie not at all flat.

Dang, look at all them craters! Takin some hits there! So colorful! Reminds me of the yellowstone pools

So how do they get the cheese out?

Bubble burst time - that's not any kind of flyby video. It's images taken with telescope/camera from earth and stitched together.

Oh look, that's what earth looks like if you scoop out a part from it and hang it in orbit for a few hours...

This is fake. It’s panning across a recolored photo, that’s all.

I don't think this is from Artemis II. There's an awful lot of people trying to farm internet points off of moon videos claiming they're from the current mission.
joot
Agreed. There is an artifact that looks like distortion from the atmosphere. They wouldn’t have that. The phase looks wrong, too.
CommunCreator
Can you positively identify this as the near side? Because if it’s not it would have to come from Artemis or that Chinese mission.
hyjukilo
Look up any photos of the moon from earth. It has the same crater/patching layout. This is not from Artemis/Orion.
CommunCreator
Okay, I just looked it up on snopes and they showed this video.

Which is an impressive achievement on its own, and should be lauded, but telling people it's from Artemis II for the likes is sketchy behaviour

No Dickbutt? No Spanish Inquisition?

↓ The colour is not from NASA. Don't believe everything you see. Yet another

That may be true about the color, but it is still not a NASA release: https://www.instagram.com/_ibatullin_ildar_/p/DWrtIcnDAFU/

Just wondering if there are more images, or additional information.

This it not from Artemis, and it's the near side of the moon. A 'video' made up from many photos taken with a telescope stitched together.
MediocreExtremist
Is the far side really more colorful than our side ?
7heng
I'm pretty sure those are not the colors you can see with your eyes
DarwinsAgain
Most of that video is not the far side. Those large dark patches are what you can see on the Earth facing side. In fact the landing site for Apollo 11 appears during this transit.

They know the video is from the near side.
They want to know if the far side has a wide verity of colour like the near side was shown to in the video.
MediocreExtremist
Are you referring to my question? I thought the video was the far side, because of the colors.
DarwinsAgain
But the word "IF" doesn't appear in the post I was responding to.
Targe0
Yes, because I was explaining their question to make it clearer.
Because the original formatting clearly wasn't obvious enough.
The If emphasis was mine, to get the point across that they weren't talking about the side shown in the video. And that they were asking about the far side of the moon.
DarwinsAgain
OK. Interpret the question however you want. I read it differently.
nik282000
I wish they wouldn't stretch the colours like that. Yes the colours are there but that's not what they look like through a telescope to your eye :/
choppedliveraldente
The colors are actually more vivid in person. Cameras got nothing on the human eye
BrandonMoon
Did you ever think that our atmosphere is distorting/muting the colors?
Targe0
It's not even that, it's the material itself and how light reflects off of it.
The more reflective materials will send far more light towards Earth, thus resulting in their colours being seen far more dominantly within our telescopes.

FraudulentPepsi
This is apparently what it actually looks like up close. Look up the astronauts talking about it.
kanybal
Did the Apollo astronauts mention the colors? Or is it only on the back side of the moon?
StellarJay77
Not only that but this is the side of the moon we can't see from earth so this is EXACTLY how it looks up close and outside our atmosphere.
stabthecrab
I listened to the whole thing and they definitely said there was some brown but no blue…this is not real
GeneralAnubis
It's real but it's a composite of a broader spectrum than we can see with our eyes
nik282000
I have never seen a visible light photo of the moon, terrestrial or space telescope, that has colour that staurated. This photo has had the levels stretched to make the colours more apparent. https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2504/TerminatorMoon_Addis_3558.jpg

the interlacing is really irritating here.

Because it's not a video at all, but a bunch of images stitched together from a telescope on earth.. That's the wrong side of the moon.
CheeseB0t
All videos are a bunch of still images stitched together
SuddenlySeymour
these are stitched together side by side, because thery are from an Earth-bound telescope. not stitched together in time.

perhaps you should buy a $40,000 studio monitor.

Well, I have one of those because I need to see pixels that are exactly the same as all possible monitors manufactured since rough 2001
