: Topographic Map of The Moon's Far SideA labeled topographic map of the Moon's far side (the side always facing away from the Earth) (source: USGS). North is at the top and South at the bottom. Using a selenocentric coordinate system (a system based on the view from the Moon), ...
far side lander, released in August 2018. (Image credit: CNSA, CASC). Visible on the newly released image of the lander are the antennas for the LFS (Low Frequency Spectrometer), which will take advantage of the uniquely quiet electromagnetic environment offered by the far side of the moon....
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter probe has snapped the most detailed picture yet of the far side of the moon. The new image is part of new global map of the moon for future lunar exploration.
Opportunities to locate the Orientale basin on the Moon occur in early and late May, as well as the end of June. The author recommends the resource "Sky & Telescope's Field Map of the Moon" for identifying features in the libration zones near ...
High resolution photo map of the moon’s far side imaged by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Credit: NASA Just like half of the Earth is always in darkness, and half of every other large object in the Solar System. There’s no permanent “dark side” of the Moon. The side facing...
How did the moon form? How long does it take the moon to orbit Earth? How far is the moon from Earth? We tackle all of these questions (and more) in our guide.

Back then, most scientists assumed the far side of the Moon, which they would never have been able to see, was more or less like the near side. However, because the Moon is relatively close to the Earth,onlyabout 380,000 km (236,000 mi) away, the Moon was the first Solar Sys...
Geologic Map of the Central Far Side of the Moon This map is one of a series of geologic maps that will cover the entire Moon at a scale of 1: 5,000,000 1 The geology of the central far side is compiled largely from NASA Lunar Orbiter and Apollo photographs and Soviet Zond ...
