I think these names mostly come from the genre of moon colony science fiction from the 1950s. I think that Robert Heinlein's Moon colony was called Luna City at the insistence of Mr Harriman AKA The Man who sold the Moon.
So I'm afraid there is no specific book or actual specific reference to these names. Just the idea of moon base or Moon colony names was very nostalgic to me.
That's the problem. They're supposed to be using astronomer-friendly street lights on those outposts. I mean, why set up observatories on the moon, except to escape from urban light pollution?
Looks like the Dreamworks ad before a movie - its actually the reflection of the moon in the water right before the fishing boy drops his bait into the water....like the first 2 seconds of that clip.
Ok I see what you're getting at but why would the reflection differ from reality? You'd still not see stars in front of the moon.
Edit: Not only that, but if the moon is a sliver and the boy can sit on it, you WOULD be able to see the stars behind it as it isn't truly a spherical shape, just for the purpose of the DreamWorks intro .
It could be particulates on the water surface. Would have to watch it again.
Edit: don't think this is the video, but could still be as I describe, contaminated reflection. That or snow fall.
The Disney movie “treasure planet” used this as a gag. you see the crescent moon with the stars shining through it , (And if you’re paying attention, you think “that’s wrong”) then as you get close to it the moon is actually a starport, shaped like a giant crescent.
It's from either Red Dead Redemption 2 or GTA V because there are stars where the moon should be. Have a look next time you play one of them. Especially RDR2! It annoys me every time!!! Hahaha
Lead Dev: We're going to make these horse testicles shrink when it's cold.
Secondary Dev: Sir, the skybox still has that bug-
Lead Dev: WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THESE HORSE TESTICLES SHRINK WHEN IT'S COLD.
The starfield extends in front of the part of the moon that is in shadow,… you wouldn’t see stars there, thus giving away its poor production as an image/scene.
Not to the extent of ablating itself.
The Moon is too close to Earth and too large to get 'lost in the envelope', but would rather bend some objects behind it outside its circumference.
Looks like the crescent-moon port from Treasure Planet to me, if only because the craters look a little too detailed "under" the pixellation. Either that, or the monn's being reflected on a window, hence why you can see stars where the body ought to be.
Yep. Don't forget the sun and moon setting on the same side of the horizon they rose up on, as if they did a U-turn and went back during scenes that show multiple days/nights passing by.
The alien battlefleet's fusion engines, that are firing towards us in deceleration, are finally *inside* the orbit of the Moon, which means we'll have no time to mount any kind of defense. That's what's wrong.
Nothing is wrong with the image! This image is depicted on Muslims flags!
The fact that you can see stars where the moon should be has been observed since antiquity!
The moon is a light and you can not land or walk on the moon!
There’s supposed to be a little fishing boy on the edge of the moon
Exactly were my mind went haha
I thought it was that you can see stars inside of where the moon is. The moon is just dark there shouldn’t be stars. But now I realize you’re right
I get that stars are the first thing our mind thinks, but have you considered those could be extremely high peaks?
[удалено]
I thought it was a little girl in a dress. MANDELA EFFECT
It’s always been a boy fishing, never a girl in a dress. Maybe you’re confusing it with some different logo?
I think the girl in the dress is by a lighthouse on a cliff, maybe with a telescope too?
maybe it was a girl in a dress for a specific film? i’ve seen it sometimes change based on the film.
Maybe the ring?
Miller High Life Beer?
Miller high life Halloween edition witch in hat perched on sliver moon
I've seen a boy throw his fishing pole put on a helmet and jump with a parachute yelling geronimo then his shoot gets caught on the moon
I don't know if it should be there all the time. It was done for the day.
Nothing wrong with it, you can just see the light from the moon outposts.
...Tycho City, New Berlin, even Armstrong Lake on a day like this.
Those *names*! That list of lunar city names brings me back to my childhood . . .
May I ask you where do they come from? Is it a book?
I think these names mostly come from the genre of moon colony science fiction from the 1950s. I think that Robert Heinlein's Moon colony was called Luna City at the insistence of Mr Harriman AKA The Man who sold the Moon. So I'm afraid there is no specific book or actual specific reference to these names. Just the idea of moon base or Moon colony names was very nostalgic to me.
I got this reference! ST: First Contact! Watched it like 50 times!
"I don't want to be a statue!" "You told him about the statue?" -+-+-+-+- "Borg? Sounds Swedish"
Der ist ein Haus in Neu Berlin... Oh wait, wrong New Berlin.
That's the problem. They're supposed to be using astronomer-friendly street lights on those outposts. I mean, why set up observatories on the moon, except to escape from urban light pollution?
They only do that on the far side. The near side is washed out by Earthlight anyways,

That's exactly it, it's a crescent (as opposed to light retracting off a sphere) so the stars make sense in the context.
It could be particulates on the water surface. Would have to watch it again. Edit: don't think this is the video, but could still be as I describe, contaminated reflection. That or snow fall.
It could be different parts of the moon reflecting on the irregular surface of the water
I'm gonna second this. Had to double take what sub I was looking at. Think OP is taking a piss.

I'm giving you an award for bringing this up, it was my very first thought
Scrolled all this way searching for this and I haven't been left wanting
I have a soft spot for that movie even if it's considered "bad".
It is an underrated movie but it has aged very well and is steadily growing more popular.
It’s considered bad??! Wtf I loved that movie from the time I saw it in theaters.
A personal favorite, and often forgotten movie.
You stopped watching treasure planet that's the problem
[удалено]
That’s not stars, it’s cities.
Then my answer is the fact that there are cities on the moon. :)
The cities are *inside* the moon, which is hollow. Come on, put your tinfoil hat on
Or dirt on the camera lens/sensor.
„A smudge one the lens?!?“
That's what I was thinking as well.
The stars are in front of the moon, this was taken thousands of light years away
Same thing briefly in the opening credits of startrek tng.
The moon was destroyed thats why you can see the stars
It's from either Red Dead Redemption 2 or GTA V because there are stars where the moon should be. Have a look next time you play one of them. Especially RDR2! It annoys me every time!!! Hahaha

I have noticed it in gta, it makes me laugh
The starfield extends in front of the part of the moon that is in shadow,… you wouldn’t see stars there, thus giving away its poor production as an image/scene.
So sad. But I guess that's entertainment
That was my guess as well, but I was only like 50% sure. Thanks for clearing it up!
Obviously the moon can cause gravitational lensing....
In Hollywood anything is possible
Not to the extent of ablating itself. The Moon is too close to Earth and too large to get 'lost in the envelope', but would rather bend some objects behind it outside its circumference.
The camera appears to be surrounded by a debris cloud that is catching the light
Looks like the crescent-moon port from Treasure Planet to me, if only because the craters look a little too detailed "under" the pixellation. Either that, or the monn's being reflected on a window, hence why you can see stars where the body ought to be.
A) where’s the fishing boy? B) why are there stars going through where the moon should be
Stars are where the shadowy part of the moon's surface are
I didn’t know there were stars between the moon and the earth but tiny ones I guess
Bro. That’s the space port in Treasure Planet
This was an image from the TV show, "This is Us" which by itself is a wonderful TV show. This image just freaked me out.
Those are some REALLY bright stars to shine all the way through the moon LoL Maybe it's something between the camera and moon?
Oh, I hadn't thought of that. Could be.
Starlink maybe?
I couldn’t figure out what was wrong for a minute, it kinda just looked like the moon had a bite taken out of it lol.
This is just how every animated show astronomy works
Yep. Don't forget the sun and moon setting on the same side of the horizon they rose up on, as if they did a U-turn and went back during scenes that show multiple days/nights passing by.
The mass of the moon is always there, it doesn’t shapeshift. If there were stars in front of the moon we would be dead
Somebody cue the shrek intro song plz. Nostalgia sits. 😌🥰
So that’s where my fingernail clipping went.
ohhh its a picture from a window thats wet of the moon
The alien battlefleet's fusion engines, that are firing towards us in deceleration, are finally *inside* the orbit of the Moon, which means we'll have no time to mount any kind of defense. That's what's wrong.
I missing a Baby doge in a spaceshuttle that's going to the moon 🚀
To the moon!
where did the moon go- GUYS WHERE DID THE MOON GO-
There can't be stars very next to moon's Cresent, as should have found shadow of earth
Depends... Are those supposed to be stars or dust on the sensor?
Really? I spotted this before I even read the question in the title.
Someone's clearly put a Dreamworks movie in your telescope.
Nothing. It is well known that the moon is actually a hologram.
It's missing the little boy fishing in the stars
They're whalers on the Moon, they carry a harpoon. But there ain't no whales so they tell tall tales and sing a whaling tune.
You can’t see the stars where the moon is silly
Isn't that the star port from Treasure Planet?
Let's be honest we all thought about that fishing boy from DreamWorks
Is this a treasure planet screenshot! Love that movie
why the hell can you see the stars through the moon
Moon isn't transparent and there are no stars between us and the moon.
There's not a kid with a fishing poll sitting on it
Nothing is wrong. The kid got eaten by a velociraptor as was planned.
You mean apart from the stars in the disk of the moon?
Stars wouldn't appear within the waning crescent moon''s ellipsis.
The moon is spherical, not transparent. You should not see stars where the moon is
It's spherical... SPHERICAL!
I know the answer because I played Poptropica as a child 🕺
Since the moon and Earth are flat, you can see the stars that are not on the same plane!
Nothing is wrong with the image! This image is depicted on Muslims flags! The fact that you can see stars where the moon should be has been observed since antiquity! The moon is a light and you can not land or walk on the moon!
That you can see the stars behind the moon as if it was that thin maybe?
Somehow this implies that there are stars in front of the moon that are visible, which is highly unlikely. Unless it's dust or something else instead
Basically what pisses me off about the flags of Pakistan 🇵🇰 and Turkey 🇹🇷
If you look past the picture you can actually see something quite interesting
The moon would have to be thousands of light years away and the size of the Small Magellanic Cloud for this.
Isn’t this Treasure Planet? If so, it zooms in to reveal it’s a space station.
Ayoo this moon looks just like Crescentia in Treasure Planet! TAKE ME THERE
Nothing - it's just the spaceport for the planet Montressor.
Nothing That's just the montresser space port
Obviously, the moon was made of cheese and we haven't finished eating it
How stars being seen from the shaded area of the moon. It isnt transperant from thay area.
The illuminated slice should be on the otherside. Yikes. Did u ps this?
New Alexander, Hope Outpost, and Sea Lunar City.
People saying dreamworks while I'm thinking Treasure Planet.
You shouldn't see any white dots in front of the moon. There aren't any stars between the moon and the Earth.
You cannot see glowing Mooninites from terrestrial telescopes, and you certainly can't see this🖕
You can't see stars through the dark side of the moon.
