Moon. The Moon, showing part of its far side, photographed

The Moon, showing part of its far side, photographed from the departing Apollo 15 spacecraft in August 1971, after its Moon landing. The dark patches at centre right are some of the lunar seas (maria) which are characteristic of the face it presents to Earth. The heavily-cratered region at centre left is on the far side of the Moon, which is never seen from Earth. The Moon always presents the same face to Earth, as it rotates on its axis in the same time that it orbits around Earth. Such gravitational locking of an orbit is common amongst satellites.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This print captures the enigmatic beauty of our celestial neighbor, the Moon. Taken in August 1971 from the departing Apollo 15 spacecraft after a successful lunar landing, it offers a rare glimpse of the Moon's far side. The dark patches at the center right reveal some of its lunar seas, known as maria, which are distinct features visible from Earth. On the other hand, the heavily-cratered region at center left belongs to the mysterious far side that remains forever hidden from our view. The photograph serves as a reminder of an intriguing phenomenon: despite its constant motion around Earth, the Moon always presents us with this familiar face due to gravitational locking. This unique characteristic is not uncommon among satellites orbiting their host planets. In this monochrome image, every detail stands out vividly against a backdrop of stark contrast. The craters scattered across its surface tell stories of cosmic collisions and ancient history. It is through such remarkable images that we deepen our understanding of planetary science and cosmology. This stunning print by Science Photo Library invites us to contemplate humanity's ventures into space exploration while marveling at the awe-inspiring wonders that lie beyond our own planet's boundaries.
