Moon Side View

Only one side of the moon is always visible from Earth. This is because the moon rotates on its axis and around the earth in the same period. The image below shows the side of the moon that is not visible from Earth, and the side that is visible from Earth is also shown for comparison. The Pearly Side of the Moon. But there are more pits than the near side. This photo was taken in 1972 by the astronauts of Apollo 16, the fifth manned mission to the Moon. #Dr. Hafeez Al Hasan
