A short video of the moon hiding behind some clouds on the open ocean. This was filmed on board the United States Coast Guard Cutter Stratton WMSL-752. Although the moon has remained largely unchanged during human history, our understanding of it and how it has evolved over time has evolved dramatically. Thanks to new measurements, we have new and unprecedented views of its surface, along with new insight into how it and other rocky planets in our solar system came to look the way they do.
