If you've ever watched an Astrum video and found yourself pausing just to take in the beauty of space, you're not alone.
The colours, the motion, the scale, they remind us how vast and awe-inspiring the universe really is.
Have you ever had your breath taken away when seeing these videos of our Sun, Milky Way, or perhaps Venus?

It's a simple way to bring that sense of wonder into your daily life while supporting future Astrum creations.
We may take the Moon for granted, but what a sight it is to behold in our sky.
It's big enough and close enough to us that we can easily make out surface details with the naked eye, like the dark mare and bright craters.
Just looking at it through a telescope is impressive enough.
However, what I'm about to show you in this video will make the telescope view pale in comparison.
You see, we are fortunate enough to have not only visited the Moon, but also have an orbiter around it right now with a powerful camera that has been scanning the surface since 2009.
I'm Alex McColgan, and you're watching Astrum.
Stick with me in this video, and I will show you some of the LRO's most recent impressive and puzzling images of the Moon.
Let's start off with an innocuous little unnamed crater.
As you can see, there are plenty of tiny craters within it.
And this crater is within another crater again.
Maybe you can see where I'm going with this.
Zooming out, not only are these craters in another crater, but apparently they are contained within two very nicely aligned craters.
Or is that really what this is?
