Stunning NASA Lunar Movie

[John]

I believe NASA have released this to coincide with the "International Observe the Moon" event. It's a movie which is created from LRO imagery and set to Debussy's "Clair do Lune". Well worth 4 minutes of your time I reckon

 

[Debo]

Yes it really is stunning 

Thanks for posting.

Amazing!

Almost as good as the images @astroavani makes.

Truly wonderful, thanks for sharing this  

[Gina]

Wonderful and beautiful!  I love "Clair de Lune".

Nice find John, and Debussy's beautiful piece a fitting compliment to this superb Nasa video of the Moon's monthly cycle.

I imagine it must take quite a bit of computer power to render such a realistic animation. The combination of the music with the visuals is really good, I played it several times. ?

I'm going. Starting my space ship in the morning. Sure i've got enough bits in my shed.....

I think that deserves a wow John! Great find thanks for posting!

Unless I've misunderstood something (quite possible), I though the point was that this was real images taken by the LRO satellite.

If you click through to YouTube there is an explanation in the description. NASA have built a "digital 3D model" from satellite data and they have used that model to simulate what a geostationary satellite would see over a lunar day.

Stunning and beautiful, watching the shadows is just mesmerising, great job NASA.
