In-depth analysis of lunar far side science and exploration
Scientific analysis and thoughtful inquiry into lunar mysteries
The far side of the Moon presents a geological puzzle that has intrigued scientists since it was first photographed in 1959. Unlike the near side's smooth maria plains, the far side features a dramatically different topography. This article examines the latest research into crustal thickness variations, impact basin formation, and volcanic history that distinguishes the hidden hemisphere from its Earth-facing counterpart.
