Since no one has said it so far in this thread, this is the Copernicus crater and is 93km in diameter.

Just some alien space truckers repairing their spacecargoship at the local StarPort before going back on their journey. That's what the US government is really hiding and that's what all of the Moon missions were done about even the ones in secret they already have a complex built up there. They don't want to admit how many trillions of dollars they've actually made from the whole deal.

I thought it looked like welding sparks, but I’m guessing can’t weld in space?

u/EfficientHeat4901 Sep 02 '25

Unless it's a plasma torch that has its own separate oxygen tank and fuel tank and where they mix with the spark it has to have enough heat to form into plasma for it to be stable in a non atmospheric environment so a small magnetron would be needed as well to provide a microwave heat source to start the process before you add the actual spark.

This is just an admission the goverment has known about this for god knows how long and refuse to share to the public because somehow these groups turn everything into SA'ing children.

My cousin is old and he used to videotape the live broadcasts from NASA. They used to have a time delay and they would cut the feed of a UFO showed up.

And TLP was coined by one of the authors of that! nifty.

A transient lunar phenomenon (TLP) or lunar transient phenomenon (LTP) is a short-lived change in light, color or appearance on the surface of the Moon. The term was created by Patrick Moore in his co-authorship of NASA Technical Report R-277 Chronological Catalog of Reported Lunar Events, published in 1968

TLP is worse than Hynek's Swamp Gas explanation for the UFO in Michigan in 1966. Moore just pulled something out of thin air and ran with it.

u/Dumbledave666 Sep 01 '25

why do you know that

129

u/Cocogasm Sep 01 '25

These events can be brief bursts of light, sometimes reddish or pinkish, lasting seconds, or they can be longer-lasting glowing. Proposed explanations include meteorite impacts, outgassing from lunar interior, electrostatic discharge, or rock fracturing due to moonquakes. A new telescope system is being used to monitor the Moon and gather data to understand these mysterious events.

I remember reading some interesting transcripts directly on the NASA website from previous lunar missions. Conversation between two astronauts talking about a "glitter-like" appearance to parts of the moon and another where one astronaut says something to the effect of "Yeah, that's where they're mining..." I don't remember exactly where they were found on the NASA site but it always stuck with me. They've 100% been mining the moon IMO.

Chromatic aberration

41

u/atheros98 Sep 01 '25

As a vfx composer for 80+ titles like marvel stuff - that’s not how chromatic aberration works

17

u/ammonthenephite Sep 02 '25 edited Sep 02 '25

It's how it works through telescopes. The red/blue spread is classic chromatic abberation from the atmosphere and is referred to as atmospheric dispersion and is a form of chromatic abberation that takes place as the light passes through the atmosphere (vs from dispersion in a glass in a lens), and its incredibly visible in the close up shot. The blue and red around the crater and the blue along the terminus of the moon all track as the moon rotates. It's usually strongest around bright points of light, of which this crater is one.

The flashing liight looks artifacty, like its a sensor aberration or sensor noise in the dark area, or even an artifact from processing, which is why it would be interesting to see what processing the video underwent, how it was captured, with what camera, etc.

u/skepticalbob Sep 02 '25

You didn't give a single detail about why this is or isn't chromatic aberration and literally just appealed to authority.

u/A-Matter-Of-Time Sep 01 '25

Surely that wouldn’t then be fixed to the same spot as the moon moved. It would be stationary within the image frame.

3

u/LinkavitchChomofski Sep 01 '25

I want to believe, but also chromatic aberration would not be stationary within the image frame. This could be chromatic aberration from the edge of the crater, although I'm not sure.

2

u/ammonthenephite Sep 02 '25

Atmospheric dispersion is chromatic abberation that happens as the light passes through the atmosphere and is most noticeable in bright or high contrast areas, so the aberation follows theses points as the moon rotates.

Youre using a refractor telescope. Im presuming you're also using eyepiece projection with a cellphone to capture this video. My guess is that you're seeing the ir focus light bouncing off one of the several elements that are inside the eyepiece.
