Observing the Luna through a telescope video

Earth's nearest neighbor in space is, of course, the Moon.
Angular diameter of the moon as seen from Earth is about 30 minutes of arc. Is 30 times the angular resolution of the human eye.This means that some of the biggest features on the Moon, such as the large seas, can be seen with the naked eye. If you use binoculars or a smaller telescope,it will allow much more detail to be seen.
