NASA gives us an amazing look at the 'dark' side of the moon

Thanks to NASA, we now know what the solar system looks like, centered on a view of the moon's far side. The computer-generated time-lapse gives two views of the lunar cycle from the side of the moon we never see from Earth.

Although it doesn't appear to spin from Earth's perspective, the moon does rotate, once about every 27 days. That's also approximately the same amount of time it takes the moon to orbit the Earth, once. The phenomenon is called synchronous rotation. In all, about 59 percent of the moon is visible from Earth over the course of an orbit. We never ever see 41 percent of the moon - the side that many call "dark."

Pretty cool how we can take a photo like that and turn it into a digital representation!
So what are your thoughts on travel to the moon, moon bases, and space travel in general? :P

The far side of the moon (not dark side) gets sunlight every so often. They have already taken pictures of said side when it faced the sun. I expected some news about the Pink Floyd album.

Same spot but it's likely bleached from radiation.

It's only a theory tho, we can't confirm until we send someone or a probe to the moon to confirm it.

Not that I care about the history of war very much, but you guys seems to constantly forget that the French gave you some major help in gaining independence. And then they sent you the statue of liberty.

The French also fought off a rebellion and an invasion by two different countries at the same time.

And they won.

Also, why are people acting like we've never seen the dark side of the moon before?

There are plenty of pictures of it.
