BERLIN, June 30 — After watching this video, you’ll realise you don’t need a telescope when you can see the moon in crystal-clear detail through a camera lens.

Filmed with a Nikon Coolpix P900 with 83x optical zoom by German nature lover Naturbeobachtungen von Lothar Lenz, the video begins by showing the moon to be little more than a speck in the distance and then zooms in on it until it fills the entire screen.

The moon’s many craters and markings are visible in fascinating detail. If you look closely enough, the moon appears to be moving.
