The way you put it makes this extremely trippy. The moon is tidally locked and visible from almost all parts of our surface, so all the landscape features he's talking about are actually things we can look at if we really want to.
I was blown away by the time lapse photography of Mount St. Helen growing from underneath! I had no idea it was that visible or that fast! Most impressive.

P.S. if you aren’t making videos …. don’t criticize …..
Excellent presentation! Thank you. Maybe there's a third possibility. Those "domes" DO look like islands, so maybe they are. The domes could be the tops of mountains that existed prior to the surface-leveling lava flood that filled up the lower areas around them. If that were the case, those domes could be windows to to what materials and structure may lie beneath that "sea".
To be fair many volcanic islands particularly in the Caribbean the Aleutians or the Indo-pacific are quite literally lava domes which have breached the surface becoming islands so this can go either way. Also for them to be existing islands aka mountains on the Moon prior to the ocean of storms you would still need some mechanism of mountain building the most likely one being impact crater peak rings so even then the material would be quite different from the surrounding underlying topography.
Hot basalt on the moon will remain fluid far longer than on earth - there's little conductive cooling effect and we can see how it flooded into a smooth "sea" of dark rock. It could have settled around older peaks. Alternatively, less dense rocks might have literally floated to the surface. Is the "sea" deep enough for that?

One of the peaks I've climbed in NH is called Carter Dome. Although the Whites were carved into their present shape by the receding of the glaciers, the origins are volcanic. At 1/6 gravity, these domes on the Moon would be a bit easier...
I just noticed something very interesting. At :47 to :49 there's a thin dark shadow on the surface coming into frame from upper right. A little ways before the shadow ends at upper center you can see what looks like a dust cloud from a rockslide crossing the shadow. If you zoom in you can see it clearly. It looks like the orbiter caught this while it was happening. Amazing!

If Luna was cleaved off Earth during an extreme collision event, then I would expect a lot of LavaLamp like convolutions of material as it aggregated, and Earth re-aggregated. The Moon could have easily had 100's of millions of years of volcanism of many different (and exotic) types as the materials gradually cooled during aggregation.
@@metaforest 😂True But no, the Theia Impact event theory is often credited as one of the probable reasons earth got its water, and by those parameters, the said mix would probably have effected the hot mess that the early moon was a lot, as it would indeed probably have taken a looong time for everything to settle, as both early earth and early moon were so disturbed to begin with, and their then very close proximity would probably encourage even more volcanism.
What many visualizations of Thea/Proto-Earth don't show is the fact that an atmosphere of vaporized rock existed around Earth for some time after the collision. There was no surface for some time.
You have the best information and videos out there. They are current and relevant. (in fun) Nasa Technician going through the space suit after they returned to Earth: What is this? Astronaut: What's what? NASA: Well, it looks like a picture a kid drew of a peni" Astronaut: ANDY WARHOL DREW THAT! NASA: Really! Did he sign his name? Astronaut: Ummm.
Being a subscriber to the Thea origin of the moon, my thought is this: those silicate deposits are what's left over from Thea's collision with our Early Earth being drawn back out by gravity and the more uniform magma deposits in the lunar mantle.
Do a Collab with Anton Petrov! He's almost same sub count, very close to 1 mil, and covers mostly space related topics. He's also had a tough year having lost his infant son by persevering and continuing to make content. The two of you are my favorite content creators and it would be a dream come true seeing a Collab
I think that after the formation of the moon it briefly (by geological standards) had oceans of water and a thick atmosphere. It wouldn't have lasted long, obviously, because it would be constantly boiling away to space, but there was an awful lot of it. The moon was made of the same material as the earth, and contained water within it, and not just on its surface. When the collision happened that created a separate earth and moon, the same water that we now have here on earth also was there on the early moon. Too much to dissipate all at once. The lava domes on the moon formed during that time, and shortly afterwards, that water fully evaporated, leaving the moon dry as a bone. Probably some of that water that left the moon would have ended up falling back here to earth early on, which is an interesting thought.
I find it highly improbable there was thick atmosphere and oceans. Moon has too low gravity for that. And Moon was extremely hot when it emerged from accretion of the rubble left after Protoearth and Thea collided. That would make even heaviest volatiles leaving such shallow gravity well in less than year. All the while the Moon was molten mass. Any volatiles released from that magma would go directly to outer space.
There's water in the form of ice hiding in permanently shaded areas on the moon left over from all the collisions over the years but given the conditions and size it's a pretty far stretch of the imagination to think the moon ever had oceans or anything close to a 'thick' atmosphere after it initially cooled down post-formation. Maybe for a few months, maybe.
@@jennyanydots2389 that water was brought to the Moon much later. But it wouldn't stay in liquid form even for a fraction of a second. It could be only in solid form. from this, it can sublime if temperature is high enough in which case it is lost to space very fast.
Research will tell but looking like a good place to dig in to take some advantage of the existing landscape to shield storage as well as work and living space. Food for thought.
According to NASA, "our moon does indeed have an atmosphere consisting of some unusual gases, including sodium and potassium, which are not found in the atmospheres of Earth, Mars or Venus. It's an infinitesimal amount of air when compared to Earth's atmosphere."
Rhyolite (or rhyodacite, etc) domes aren't always subduction related on Earth. They can be produced by mantle plume hotspots under continental lithosphere -- with the silicic magmas being generated, I assume, by some combination of fractional crystalization and crustal contamination. And obviously hotspot-associated (no subduction required) rhyolite magma chambers _can_ be huge -- as in > 1,000 km3 ... see VEI-8 eruptions at the Yellowstone Hotspot.
Version 3, a massive impact on the other side of the Moon heated up the interior, and created shock waves, which over time drove high concentrations of silicates (amongst other things) to the area we see them now.
My theory: 5:48. The large crater bottom left might be the stem of creation of the two seemingly separate domes. Is it possible that the domes were actually one huge dome initially? If this crater was created at the time of the basalt plane's ongoing formation could the kinetic energy from the basalt plane have hewn the giant extruding mass of silica in two? The source of the silica may have been the meteor that caused the crater. The heat generated and low gravity may have allowed for such a giant dome to form by lava extrusion. Is this plausible to anybody with expertise? I am very much spitballin. Thanks for the video! really nice
Two and a half minutes in,I won't lie. It looks opposite. The large thing looks. Like the crater and the two depressions look like little spiky domes. It's annoying that I am seeing it backwards but without establishing shot or accompanying additional visuals to help flip that visual in my mind. Dang!
Hi astrum thanks for this video of how them moon 🌙 works it is a interesting subject and yes I do like 👍 🖼️ I used to do art in my younger years my medium in oils David 🖼️🚀👌❤️🇬🇧👍
How do you know it's unnatural for moons to be attached to planets our size? Can we really be sure we even know? we can barely figure out how many "exo"planets any given system has right now, let alone what is orbiting them as well.
I imagine that's an assumption based on the fact that Mercury and Venus have no moons, while Mars just has two tiny captured asteroids. But you're right; we have no way of knowing if our solar system is typical.
its the fact that the only planets we know of that have moons the size of ours are gas giants and earth. its also a fact that the moon is too large for earths gravity to contain it in a stable orbit. which is why the moon is currently receading further from earth while taking rotational energy from our planet increasing earth rotational period. and in the future if earth still exists at that point the moon will reverse course and crash into our planet.
@@uteriel282 right but that means nothing since in a sample size of 8/9 planets and a handful of moons in relation to trillions, that isn't enough to determine how the rest of the universe works. and since moons in other solar systems are currently almost impossible to find right now, we have no basis to say what is and isn't reality.
The Electric universe says stuff like, "All these craters are the result of cosmic thunderbolts from interplanetary discharge" You do realize that if two planetary bodies like Mars and Venus were to come close enough to each other to create a "Cosmic Thunderbolt" They would literally have enough tidal energy to liquify each other, right? Not to mention NONE of the hypotheses they propose can be seen taking place in the observable universe. It's complete pseudoscience rubbish.
@@moemuggy4971 yes I know what you mean, I’ve wrestled with it for a number of years now,I’m not sure how familiar you are with the EU but they have had some important predictions confirmed in past years , it is undoubtedly a massive paradigm shift,maybe instead of totally condemning and shunning these ideas, with some funding and fresh minds we could perhaps start to crack a few nuts, the absence amount money that is currently being thrown at these fundamental questions is to me a concern, and with increasingly more accurate diagnostic tools the questions are not being answered, in fact they are mounting, if we allow ourselves to be locked into ideas that cannot truly explain what we do see in our observable universe, maybe it is time for a re-think, but we must come at it with open hands AND minds✌️
I guess the age of the rock is important. From the description given, it sounds like the domes formed very early in the existence of the moon. I was wondering if a massive impactor on the opposite side of the moon could have triggered the unusual formation.
@@skybluespace22 the ui sound is not common, English doesn't have it. However, some crazy heavy English accents do have a similar sound ☝️ Can't think of an example right now.. sorry 😓 Maybe the way shrek says "out" in "get out!" 🤔
The moon may have not had its orbit that it has today, so in the past, it may have been subjected to tidal forces that allowed those flows and the moons orbits changed over time and settled in to it current orbit..
@@Tinker1950 hi John, the moon is moving very slowly away from the Earth (Lazer reflector data). Therefore it was closer in the past... Check out tidal slop, slowing Earth's rotation and conservation of energy.etc. But close enough to have additional gravitational melting ? I doubt it.
I find it a bit sad that there is no real questioning of the pick and choose that NASA does with the LRO images released to the public. During the Apollo missions, there are clear and present oddities on the surface of the moon (taken with much lower quality cameras) that, somehow, the LRO pics (released to the public) never seem to find. I have always found that interesting, to say the least. I am so bored with these "oh this is odd" subjects because they are, in the end, not really that odd are they? And many of you RUclipsrs that love space exploration, as I do, won't touch anything even mildly controversial in NASA pics and footage.
Yep spoton nasa knows a fare bit , but the top secret agencies know everything. Last 2 missions to the moon as you'll find , nasa left sizemagraph on the moon the landers booster where ejected back to lunar surface the moon ringing for over an hour (hollow moon) last mission nasa added bigger boosters plus fired them to surface at more height it rang for hours. There's bases their reason they haven't gone back because it's top secret, 4 minute missing tape the ET's where watching them , the next 12 months will reveal alot more , bases on Mars too. Governments are letting the ufo community release info slowly because they don't (know how) or want to be the liers of the top secret agencies coverup 6 countries USA is incharge.. It's mind bending what I've found out so fare. Keep a open mind because what's to come 99% won't believe what we have been doing since 1940's with ET's help , real released info of last 12 months I'll say this nasa rockets to moon was a coverup of there real space force technology , they built there own ufo's yes reversed engineered pre 50's , but after that 60's 70's 80's they had the tech delivered to them . I know 8 astronauts where taught to fly them , and one threatened to land at whitehouse front lawn if secret wasn't revealed, just maybe why shuttles exploded , Izanhower went aboard one (disk shape) 1956 . True fact JFK flew in a sagar shape craft approx 10 days later he was going to speakout the soul reason he was killed.. There's 6 Alien species in our galaxy nearly 900 in the universe, top secret agencies know all , including past history top CIA agent with permission from head CIA has revealed couple of months back we are hybrids, we didn't build the pyramids, the list goes on there was 4 Alien species on earth including us being one, one identical to us, Greys and another under Sea war 1974 off Italy Coast they left no friends to us or Greys. James Web telescope will reveal the star with 7 planets where we have already been with there help and there's nearly 900k already on Mars , seen pic taken by nasa and copied before they destroyed it , only small base haven't seen the cities but there real , the last thing we where ment to be advanced into planetary visitors with there help in the 70's but the greed coverups stopped it. All coming out now enjoy there's plenty more , it's going to be very frustrating for the ufo community to hear the full truth , historians will burn there books Vatican has the truth. And the one's that have followed the government's belief that ET's ain't real well there in for a bumpy ride... Cheers 100% truth enjoy..
Thanks!

Being a subscriber to the Thea origin of the moon, my thought is this: those silicate deposits are what's left over from Thea's collision with our Early Earth being drawn back out by gravity and the more uniform magma deposits in the lunar mantle.
Good Info!
Thank you! Sooo fantastic
Solid!

Do a Collab with Anton Petrov! He's almost same sub count, very close to 1 mil, and covers mostly space related topics. He's also had a tough year having lost his infant son by persevering and continuing to make content. The two of you are my favorite content creators and it would be a dream come true seeing a Collab
do we know why he lost his kid? such terrible news
also watch Scott Manley ...
I think that after the formation of the moon it briefly (by geological standards) had oceans of water and a thick atmosphere. It wouldn't have lasted long, obviously, because it would be constantly boiling away to space, but there was an awful lot of it. The moon was made of the same material as the earth, and contained water within it, and not just on its surface. When the collision happened that created a separate earth and moon, the same water that we now have here on earth also was there on the early moon. Too much to dissipate all at once. The lava domes on the moon formed during that time, and shortly afterwards, that water fully evaporated, leaving the moon dry as a bone. Probably some of that water that left the moon would have ended up falling back here to earth early on, which is an interesting thought.
I find it highly improbable there was thick atmosphere and oceans. Moon has too low gravity for that. And Moon was extremely hot when it emerged from accretion of the rubble left after Protoearth and Thea collided. That would make even heaviest volatiles leaving such shallow gravity well in less than year. All the while the Moon was molten mass. Any volatiles released from that magma would go directly to outer space.
There's water in the form of ice hiding in permanently shaded areas on the moon left over from all the collisions over the years but given the conditions and size it's a pretty far stretch of the imagination to think the moon ever had oceans or anything close to a 'thick' atmosphere after it initially cooled down post-formation. Maybe for a few months, maybe.
@@jennyanydots2389 that water was brought to the Moon much later. But it wouldn't stay in liquid form even for a fraction of a second. It could be only in solid form. from this, it can sublime if temperature is high enough in which case it is lost to space very fast.

@@Very_Angry_Citizen Not even remotely. And you have my condolences at being so angry. Maybe try yoga?
Research will tell but looking like a good place to dig in to take some advantage of the existing landscape to shield storage as well as work and living space. Food for thought.
What’s somewhat amusing is that these images look no better than images I’ve seen from the 60’s and 70’s.
According to NASA, "our moon does indeed have an atmosphere consisting of some unusual gases, including sodium and potassium, which are not found in the atmospheres of Earth, Mars or Venus. It's an infinitesimal amount of air when compared to Earth's atmosphere."
Rhyolite (or rhyodacite, etc) domes aren't always subduction related on Earth. They can be produced by mantle plume hotspots under continental lithosphere -- with the silicic magmas being generated, I assume, by some combination of fractional crystalization and crustal contamination.
And obviously hotspot-associated (no subduction required) rhyolite magma chambers _can_ be huge -- as in > 1,000 km3 ... see VEI-8 eruptions at the Yellowstone Hotspot.
Version 3, a massive impact on the other side of the Moon heated up the interior, and created shock waves, which over time drove high concentrations of silicates (amongst other things) to the area we see them now.
My theory: 5:48. The large crater bottom left might be the stem of creation of the two seemingly separate domes. Is it possible that the domes were actually one huge dome initially? If this crater was created at the time of the basalt plane's ongoing formation could the kinetic energy from the basalt plane have hewn the giant extruding mass of silica in two? The source of the silica may have been the meteor that caused the crater. The heat generated and low gravity may have allowed for such a giant dome to form by lava extrusion. Is this plausible to anybody with expertise? I am very much spitballin. Thanks for the video! really nice
they're delicious cheese bubbles, as the sun bakes the pizza moon to delectable perfection 😌👌
Just imagine, if humans would quit beating each other up and ripping each other off, what we could achieve and what we would know.
Two and a half minutes in,I won't lie. It looks opposite. The large thing looks. Like the crater and the two depressions look like little spiky domes. It's annoying that I am seeing it backwards but without establishing shot or accompanying additional visuals to help flip that visual in my mind. Dang!
Hi astrum thanks for this video of how them moon 🌙 works it is a interesting subject and yes I do like 👍 🖼️ I used to do art in my younger years my medium in oils David 🖼️🚀👌❤️🇬🇧👍
Good show. Why are we not concentrating on colonizing the Moon as opposed to a strong focus on colonizing Mars.
This guy has a very pleasing voice
How do you know it's unnatural for moons to be attached to planets our size? Can we really be sure we even know? we can barely figure out how many "exo"planets any given system has right now, let alone what is orbiting them as well.
I imagine that's an assumption based on the fact that Mercury and Venus have no moons, while Mars just has two tiny captured asteroids. But you're right; we have no way of knowing if our solar system is typical.
its the fact that the only planets we know of that have moons the size of ours are gas giants and earth.
its also a fact that the moon is too large for earths gravity to contain it in a stable orbit.
which is why the moon is currently receading further from earth while taking rotational energy from our planet increasing earth rotational period.
and in the future if earth still exists at that point the moon will reverse course and crash into our planet.
@@uteriel282 right but that means nothing since in a sample size of 8/9 planets and a handful of moons in relation to trillions, that isn't enough to determine how the rest of the universe works. and since moons in other solar systems are currently almost impossible to find right now, we have no basis to say what is and isn't reality.
If you want another plausible avenue the electric universe hypothesis can not be ruled out
The Electric universe says stuff like, "All these craters are the result of cosmic thunderbolts from interplanetary discharge" You do realize that if two planetary bodies like Mars and Venus were to come close enough to each other to create a "Cosmic Thunderbolt" They would literally have enough tidal energy to liquify each other, right? Not to mention NONE of the hypotheses they propose can be seen taking place in the observable universe. It's complete pseudoscience rubbish.
@@moemuggy4971 yes I know what you mean, I’ve wrestled with it for a number of years now,I’m not sure how familiar you are with the EU but they have had some important predictions confirmed in past years , it is undoubtedly a massive paradigm shift,maybe instead of totally condemning and shunning these ideas, with some funding and fresh minds we could perhaps start to crack a few nuts, the absence amount money that is currently being thrown at these fundamental questions is to me a concern, and with increasingly more accurate diagnostic tools the questions are not being answered, in fact they are mounting, if we allow ourselves to be locked into ideas that cannot truly explain what we do see in our observable universe, maybe it is time for a re-think, but we must come at it with open hands AND minds✌️
I guess the age of the rock is important. From the description given, it sounds like the domes formed very early in the existence of the moon. I was wondering if a massive impactor on the opposite side of the moon could have triggered the unusual formation.
@0:10 The moon can't be a natural satalite because it.s part hollow.
Those lava tubes would be a great place to explore
I liken this to my wife's attempts at baking a cake. Lumpy, bumpy, full of craters and totally uneatable.

The moon may have not had its orbit that it has today, so in the past, it may have been subjected to tidal forces that allowed those flows and the moons orbits changed over time and settled in to it current orbit..
Utter gibberish - and amateurish English too.
@@Tinker1950 hi John, the moon is moving very slowly away from the Earth (Lazer reflector data). Therefore it was closer in the past... Check out tidal slop, slowing Earth's rotation and conservation of energy.etc.
But close enough to have additional gravitational melting ? I doubt it.
@@BMrider75
I'm fully aware of that.
I find it a bit sad that there is no real questioning of the pick and choose that NASA does with the LRO images released to the public. During the Apollo missions, there are clear and present oddities on the surface of the moon (taken with much lower quality cameras) that, somehow, the LRO pics (released to the public) never seem to find. I have always found that interesting, to say the least. I am so bored with these "oh this is odd" subjects because they are, in the end, not really that odd are they? And many of you RUclipsrs that love space exploration, as I do, won't touch anything even mildly controversial in NASA pics and footage.
do you have any examples?
Yep spoton nasa knows a fare bit , but the top secret agencies know everything.
Last 2 missions to the moon as you'll find , nasa left sizemagraph on the moon the landers booster where ejected back to lunar surface the moon ringing for over an hour (hollow moon) last mission nasa added bigger boosters plus fired them to surface at more height it rang for hours. There's bases their reason they haven't gone back because it's top secret, 4 minute missing tape the ET's where watching them , the next 12 months will reveal alot more , bases on Mars too.
Governments are letting the ufo community release info slowly because they don't (know how) or want to be the liers of the top secret agencies coverup 6 countries USA is incharge..
It's mind bending what I've found out so fare.
Keep a open mind because what's to come 99% won't believe what we have been doing since 1940's with ET's help , real released info of last 12 months I'll say this nasa rockets to moon was a coverup of there real space force technology , they built there own ufo's yes reversed engineered pre 50's , but after that 60's 70's 80's they had the tech delivered to them . I know 8 astronauts where taught to fly them , and one threatened to land at whitehouse front lawn if secret wasn't revealed, just maybe why shuttles exploded , Izanhower went aboard one (disk shape) 1956 . True fact JFK flew in a sagar shape craft approx 10 days later he was going to speakout the soul reason he was killed..
There's 6 Alien species in our galaxy nearly 900 in the universe, top secret agencies know all , including past history top CIA agent with permission from head CIA has revealed couple of months back we are hybrids, we didn't build the pyramids, the list goes on there was 4 Alien species on earth including us being one, one identical to us, Greys and another under Sea war 1974 off Italy Coast they left no friends to us or Greys.
James Web telescope will reveal the star with 7 planets where we have already been with there help and there's nearly 900k already on Mars , seen pic taken by nasa and copied before they destroyed it , only small base haven't seen the cities but there real , the last thing we where ment to be advanced into planetary visitors with there help in the 70's but the greed coverups stopped it.
All coming out now enjoy there's plenty more , it's going to be very frustrating for the ufo community to hear the full truth , historians will burn there books Vatican has the truth. And the one's that have followed the government's belief that ET's ain't real well there in for a bumpy ride...
Cheers 100% truth enjoy..
