First Video of Moon's Far Side
I still cant believe it has taken a few decades to actually get video of the "Dark Side of The Moon". It sounds ridiculous that today the public gets to see the first glimpse of the moon's far side. Why did it take so long? Do any of us who read this blog actually believe NASA as a source of Truth? Are we to believe that these videos have not been altered in any way? Take a look at the logo for the GRAIL Program, two things jump out "GRAIL" and the conspiracy theorist take on the Illuminati Symbolism.~e

First Video of the Far Side of the Moon
By Adam Mann
This 30-second clip, the first movie taken of the moon’s far side, was captured by one of NASA’s twin GRAIL satellites on Jan. 19.
The entire far lunar hemisphere appears in the video, starting with the moon’s north pole. It then pans down over well-known features such as the giant impact basin Mare Orientale, located off to the right, and the prominent Drygalski crater, seen left of center, which contains a distinctive star-shaped formation created when a comet or asteroid smacked into the moon billions of years ago.
Because the moon is tidally locked to Earth, it always shows the same familiar face to our planet. The other hemisphere is sometimes referred to as the ‘dark side of the moon,’ though it actually receives equal sunlight as the facing side during the moon’s orbit.
Other than small slivers, the far side of the moon had never been seen by humanity before the space age, when the Soviet Luna 3 took pictures of it in 1959. The crew of Apollo 8 — Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders — was the first to directly observe the far side in 1968.
