how amazing is the moon? like it's super far away but we can see some pretty amazing detail with just the naked eye. landing on the moon is easily the greatest accomplishment of mankind
-
'Shrooms?

It's pretty rough ridin' awesome this morning
-
Bought my son a telescope for xmas. As soon as it isn't negative a bagillion out after dark, we are looking at the moon a bunch.
-
So, it's like, a giant orb that floats in space. What kind of crap is that?

Used to be part of earth. :horrorsurprise:

My kids love how it goes as fast as the car goes sometimes out their window

Pretty amazing fact cf3
-
Also, littlest CF3 will often see rocket ships (commercial airliners with that smoke trail) on their way to the moon, and ask me how old you have to be to ride on one to the moon. Don't have the heart to break it to him that those are just big metal tubes filled with fat idiots flying from KCI to Dallas or whatever and they are just worrying about not having enough pretzels and stupid junk like that. I like to let the little guy believe the world is more fun and you can take rocket ships to the moon when you turn 13.

Let them dream as long as possible

lib7 don't you like how sometimes the moon looks all red due to dust and junk in the air when its low in the sky?
-
astronomy is something that i love, you should explain(in simpler terms) the article i just posted in the science articles thread, that will have him thinking for days.
-

Wow, who knew cf3 was such a moon connisouier/stud

i knew i loved this board for a reason

tbt this thread is about the moon so either talk about the moon or gtfo

i was talking about being able to relate with fellow moon lovers, btw did you see the moon this morning? :love:

landing on the moon is easily the greatest accomplishment of mankind
Yes, and we did it nearly 50 years ago back when we used to dream big and do amazing things as a nation. Now were more focused on other things.

Was google'n "moon facts" and came across this:
During the 1950’s the USA considered detonating a nuclear bomb on the Moon:
The secret project was during the height cold war was known as “A Study of Lunar Research Flights” or “Project A119? and meant as a show of strength at a time they were lagging behind in the space race.

I like how sometimes it looks a whole lot bigger, or closer, or whatever.
Like you go outside and go "whoa hey, that moon over there is a lot bigger, or closer than is normally is."
Something to the effect.

i will never understand the tides thing no matter what

How strange is it that we only see one side at all times? It's like an eternal lunar stare down.

You know Pluto has like 5 moons? Not even a planet, and it has 5 moons. What if we had another moon or two?

You can be thousands of miles away from someone else, and still be looking at the same damn thing at the same time. This is impossible with anything on earth.

did you guys know that jupiter's moon europa has the best chance for extraterrestrial life in our solar system :Wha:
-
We are sending a rough ridin' space ship that turns into a submarine to Europa. It will land, dive, resurface, transmit what it finds, and repeat. All by 2020, Iirc. :surprised:
-
if they get all that done by 2020 i will be shocked. i hope they do but they get one shot and one shot only to get it right once it leaves earth.

It might be 2024. Don't remember for sure.

-
i think ive read that it will like heat up to get through the ice to the under-ice-ocean. what if they underestimate how thick the ice is and it runs out of power before it gets to the ocean. or it doesnt have enough power to resurface after the ice freezes back over the original melt hole???? ?? ? ????? ????

I wonder if the aliens on Europa talk about the Planet Jupiter like how we talk about the moon. Like, whoa the planet looks so big tonight, bigger than normal. Or, it's going to be a full planet tonight. Food for thought.

Given the size of Jupiter, think of the tides on Europa!

do some research on jupiters moon Io, tidal heating because of jupiter :Wha:
-
Yeah, basically, the only reason Europa isn't solid ice is because the gravity of Jupiter is so strong it keeps the majority of it liquid. Crazy.
-
So I just went into an internet wormhole after looking up tidal heating. Apparently we observed a cryovolcano (aka ice volcanco) on neptune's moon Titan in 1989!

I mean, Merica is so great, we just didn't fake it once, we faked it 7 times. One time we faked almost killing the astronauts.

I went out and looked at the moon twice, at 9pm and 11pm. The eclipse was cool, but it never looked red to me. Was it supposed to look red? Did I just not look at the right time?

It was a nice shade of orange. Kind of hazy.
I was driving to work this morning, and as I was heading west, the moon was freaking huge against the blue sky. It was cooler than what I saw last night.

[attachment deleted by admin]
-
i wasn't very orange at all when i saw it last night either :dunno:
-
I think you had to look at it right when it was in the full shadow of the Earth. As you can see from my photo (taken at 9pm) that was before it was in the full shadow. Then when I looked again at 11pm, it was almost uncovered (it looked like the moon was wearing a tilted beret). So I think I just missed full shadow/orange color time.

It got a whole lot orange'ey'er right before the fully coverage. The more regular moon color available, the more the shadow looked like a reg shadow.

I took a timelapse of it. Unfortunately it turned out pretty bad.

So, most of the regulars have met me. Most of the regulars know that I enjoy science and stuff. I may actually be in the IT industry, :surprised:, but we may never know.
I was out star gazing tonight, and let me tell you guys, it was awesome. If anything tonight was a great night to be out under the heavens. I saw so many things, and you guys know what I realized? We are pretty small and insignificant, I am talking microns compared to Mount Everest. Obviously that comparo isn's even close to the real scale, as the one I mentioned is tiny and something our minds can understand.
I challenge you guys to think 'outside' the box, and challenge what is given, and figure out the unknown.

I've gotten pretty into night sky time-lapse photography over the last few months. Mostly of the Milky Way but also of the moon and stuff. The best part is driving out to some pitch black place and sitting in a lawn chair looking up at the stars for a couple of hours while the camera does its thing. I will agree that it's a good place to do some deep thinking.

Sorry Emo, I didn't see this back then. Have you figured it out yet? Most DSLRs have an built-in intervalometer that will take pics at any given interval. For night sky photography or timelapses you'll set a long exposure (between 15 and 30 seconds depending on the conditions). I usually try to let it take at least 96 pictures which would be a 4 second timelapse at 24 FPS. Twice that is ideal but I don't always have that much time. Long exposure timelapses take the most time because you can only take a couple pictures every minute. It's pretty amazing what you can see with a 30 second exposure on a moonless night. Maybe the most important thing is that you have software that can color correct and create a video from your hi-res photos. I use Adobe Lightroom for color correction and After Effects to create the video.

I'm using a Canon T6s with the 18-135 lens. Anyway these are just single pictures but that's more what I need to get better at first. I think these exposures were in that 20 to 30 second range. I'm pretty sure I just set it to manual and I can manipulate the exposure and the ISO. I don't really understand the difference between aperture priority and manual.
Unfortunately my rough ridin' camera doesn't have a time-lapse feature but my dad bought me this Vello Shutterboss thing and I can do it through there.
So you basically just take a few pics adjusting the exposure length and ISO until you get what you like and then just take a bunch of pictures in a row (96 or more)?
How do you prefer the moon phase to be?
How far do you try to get away from town? I'm not sure where you live. Should I make sure even small towns are not in the frame?
I also would love to see some videos you have done. I'm considering filming and submitting some short videos for some contests in a year or two and want to spend some time getting like filler stuff this fall/winter that I can use.

I'm using a Canon T6s with the 18-135 lens. Anyway these are just single pictures but that's more what I need to get better at first. I think these exposures were in that 20 to 30 second range. I'm pretty sure I just set it to manual and I can manipulate the exposure and the ISO. I don't really understand the difference between aperture priority and manual.
Unfortunately my rough ridin' camera doesn't have a time-lapse feature but my dad bought me this Vello Shutterboss thing and I can do it through there.
So you basically just take a few pics adjusting the exposure length and ISO until you get what you like and then just take a bunch of pictures in a row (96 or more)?
Nice photos. My first attempts were much much worse.
Yeah get the ISO up to around 3200 or so, if its grainy drop it a little. Once you like how it looks set your interval, I set the interval really short for long exposures because its already taking 20-30 sec per photo so you don't want another 10 seconds in between. I usually set it for 2 seconds. Also I turn off preview so that it doesn't take time to process in between shots.
How do you prefer the moon phase to be?
If you want to shoot the milky way there needs to be no moon. So either a new moon or before it rises or after it sets. Shooting the moon is kind of cool too though because with a long exposure it almost looks like the sun in the night sky.

I use this: http://www.jshine.net/astronomy/dark_sky/
I try to get to at least green, if not blue or gray. Also if you're shooting the milky way it will be to the south as it crosses the sky so its not that big of a deal if you have a town to your north you just want to make sure it's pretty dark to the south.
I also would love to see some videos you have done. I'm considering filming and submitting some short videos for some contests in a year or two and want to spend some time getting like filler stuff this fall/winter that I can use.
I'll try to post a couple. TBH most of mine are not very good. I'm finding it takes a lot of practice and the right conditions. Not to mention a lot of skill to color correct and that sort of thing. I'm going to try to get out a couple times this fall as well.

It's kinda behind some semi-transparent clouds, but, WOW!

It is pretty cool, also February didn't have a full moon (which is why we have a blue moon in March). Pretty easy to get those when the full moon was Jan 1.

I've already seen this moon tons. Wake me up when it's a different or better moon.
-
Longest lunar eclipse in 100 years happened yesterday in the eastern hemisphere. Pretty neat.

Camera body: Nikon D5500
Lens: Nikkor 10.5mm 2.8 fisheye DX
I wanted to try a fisheye lens since my pretty basic d5500 is a dx camera with a 1.5 crop factor, making it a little harder to get wide angle shots.
Settings:
25 second exposure
ISO: 6400
RAW
Post processing:
I fixed the fisheye distortion manually in photoshop
Edited the original in Adobe Lightroom
-
Submit the EMAW version to the Astronomy Pic of the Day site!
-
Wow, very cool.
No way we are alone in the Universe, guys. Let alone the Galaxy.
-
Where were these photogs taken?
Look great!
-
These were taken a couple miles south of White Cloud KS.
-

I would like streaming video from the moon, please. Seems like we should already have that.

Right? I will remain skeptical until that point. Love this type of stuff, though.

HD, too. No bullshit grainy feed. Maybe on a moon drone that flies like 5' off the ground and continually does laps at a nice medium rate of travel.
I want to set up a 72" tv in the office that looks like I am on the moon.

They should be taking those 3-D videos or whatever immersive videos or whatever the eff it’s called so that we can then put on one of those fancy augmented reality, headsets and play the 3-D video and feel like we are on the moon.

If I could put one of the Apple vision pro things on and make it look like I am cooking biscuits and gravy on the moon tomorrow morning, I would go buy one tonight.
