Astrophotographer Eliot Herman from Tuscon, Arizona was outside to photograph the partial lunar eclipse that was visible for part of the world in late November. The night was cloudy, however, and Eliot didn’t manage to capture anything that he was particularly proud of. Aside from this unbelievably rare image of 3 halos surrounding the moon that is!

Universal’s reach extends beyond earth – claims copyright ownership of the moon
by Leave a Comment
If you share a video on social media and it contains someone else’s copyrighted work, you’re bound to get a claim from the content owner. But what happens when you get it for your own work? This weird thing happened to filmmaker Philip Bloom when he shared his video of the full moon. It got removed because, apparently, videos of the moon were copyrighted to Universal Music Group. Wait, what?

This stunning moon footage was shot with “the world’s sharpest super-telephoto lens”
by 3 Comments
Seeing the Moon up close through my crappy telescope was one of the moments that left a huge impression on me. And I’m sure that seeing it through a super-sharp super-telephoto lens would have been even more impressive.

The moon landing couldn’t have been faked because the required lighting gear simply didn’t exist

In a world filled with conspiracy theories these days, there’s one old one that still just refuses to die. The number of people who still believe the moon landings didn’t happen is still pretty high – which should come as no surprise given the path the planet’s taken over the last year or six.
But this video from College Humor popped up on their Facebook page yesterday explaining why faking them simply could not have been possible. It was originally posted to their YouTube channel a while ago, and they even got Emmy Award-winning forensic motion picture analyst Mark Shubin to explain why the footage definitely wasn’t shot in a studio using real demonstrable physics of light that you can try yourself if you don’t believe him.

by Leave a Comment
We have seen a few great photos of the “Great Conjunction” between Jupiter and Saturn. There is even one photo with the International Space Station splitting the space right between the two planets.
But, this is a first. As you may recall, on December 21st, we have a once in 800 years event when Jupiter and Saturn appeared especially close in the night sky. Unlike any earthly photos that we have seen, NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured a stunner image from space.
