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.
Was NASA able to locate and take pictures of the lunar craft they left behind in order to definitively prove that they achieved this technological feat?
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?

Key question for me about the domes is whether upwelling of magma could be hot enough to achieve full melting of surface layers, to enable localised differentiation of the melt, in the low lunar gravity. Great to see Alex's quality explanation of little publicised topics.

I’m prepared to believe your general advice re unsecured investment wideboys or their products but I’m confused as to why the geologists are confused because they surely can’t understand every single feature on foreign bodies at first inspection otherwise they’d have nothing much to occupy their time or justify their funding .
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 think that when the moon was forming and was surely closer to earth, the two planets were so hot and the atmosphere around them was literally boiling them.... The volcanos were simply spewing lava but also melting as they did it... hence the lack of volcanic craters left behind to see today. As the moon cooled ,large dust storms in its thin atmosphere smoothed the surface, eventually creating the moonscape that we see today. My take on it , thanks Alex ! Preon.

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.
Any idea what causes those wide, meandering tracks on the sand (if you pause at 2:21 you see one, trailing from the big shadow to the "n" of "Gruithuisen")? My first guess (and what little I know!) is collapsed lava tunnels. My second is they've got rabbits.
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.
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.

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!

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.

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.
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
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
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."
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 🖼️🚀👌❤️🇬🇧👍
A possible heat source capable of generating a pool of molten rock may have come from the Aiken Basin impact. Heat from the impact may have created a pool of molten rock deep inside the moon and fracturing from the impact may have created an avenue for the molten material to move toward the surface where a reduction in pressure could cause adiabatic melting (decompression melting). The heat from decompression melting may have helped maintain a low viscosity in the molten material and enabled the molten material to diffract and produce rhyolitic or dacitic lavas.

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.
Have we had a chance of looking under the ground. Is it possible that some people live there.
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.
@0:10 The moon can't be a natural satalite because it.s part hollow.
A possible heat source capable of generating a pool of molten rock may have come from the Aiken Basin impact. Heat from the impact may have created a pool of molten rock deep inside the moon and fracturing from the impact may have created an avenue for the molten material to move toward the surface where a reduction in pressure could cause adiabatic melting (decompression melting). The heat from decompression melting may have helped maintain a low viscosity in the molten material and enabled the molten material to diffract and produce rhyolitic or dacitic lavas.
