How often do you get to see the moon this close up?? This is some footage I got last night, 9/8/08 of the moon. My Nexstar 8 telescope was magnifying the moon 120x, allowing the craters of the Northeastern and southeastern quadrants of the moon to be seen in detail. There was a cloud in front of the moon, however, I was still able to get some good shots. Some sections of the video are actually more than 120X, since I also used the zoom on the camera. Knowing that, there may have been segments of the video where the moon was around 200-250X (~2X zoom on camera). Sorry for the shakiness, but the mechanism for moving the telescope has a small amount of vibration and it’s difficult to use a digital camera in this way. Hope you enjoy! Please let me know what you think and leave a comment or question under Video Comments! Also Rate the video if you enjoyed it!

HiRISE – High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment Camera is a camera on board the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — The 65 kg, $40 million (USD) instrument was built under the direction of the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. It consists of a 0.5 meter reflecting telescope, the largest of any deep space mission, which allows it to take pictures with resolutions up to 0.3 m, resolving objects about a meter across, or the size of a beachball. The HiRISE camera is designed to view surface features of Mars in greater detail than has previously been possible. This allows for the study of the age of Martian features, looking for landing sites for future Mars landers, and in general, seeing the Martian surface in far greater detail than has previously been done from orbit. By doing so, it is allowing better studies of Martian channels and valleys, volcanic landforms, possible former lakes and oceans, and other surface landforms as they exist on the Martian surface. • en.wikipedia.org — Doug Ellison from UnmannedSpaceflight.com has done it again and again and again. Here are new Mars flyover videos Doug has created from data from the HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Using DEM (Digital Elevation Model) (also known as DTM Digital Terrain Model) files …

Hail Science!! Celebrating 400 years since Galileo first peered into the milky dark with the 2009 International Year of Astronomy. With images from the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes. Find free space images at nasaimages.org The Chromatics’ “Shoulders of Giants” free download and lyrics available at: www.astrocappella.com Music and Lyrics by Padi Boyd © 2008, The Johannes Kepler Project It was a calm and cloudless night but it was all still a blur A shaking of our Universe was just about to occur It was Summertime… 1609 when Galileo used his telescope for the very first time and he saw mountains and craters on the moon and a Milky Way with thousands of stars and he saw Jupiter, with four tiny moons he was the only man on Earth that night who knew That Copernicus was right come outside with me tonight and I can show you wonders of the world to surprise and delight I’ve got my telescope with me just wait until you see that on the Shoulders of Giants…. … we’ll see beyond! The world turns round and round now around 400 years have flown since Galileo’s telescope first focused the unknown Now we use bigger glass to peer into the past And we’re discovering the Universe’s secrets at last And there are geysers on Saturn’s icy moon and planets circling hundreds of stars while all the Universe expands like a balloon from Galileo’s tiny scope we’ve come so far Galileo was right when he looked out in the night and he discovered wonders of the world to surprise and delight I …

Although it is called “The Belt Meteor Crater”, this is actually a sinkhole. A cavern formed in the Madison limestone (not far below the surface). Eventually, layers of sandstone directly above the limestone collapsed into the cavern. The sinkhole was used by Native Americans as a “buffalo jump.” For more information, go to www.formontana.net and then select #76 from the list. The Belt Meteor Crater is located on private land in the Great Falls area.
