#DarkSide of the #moon? The Man in the Moon appeared when #meteoroids struck the Earth-facing side of the moon creating large flat seas of basalt that we see as dark areas called maria. But no face exists on farside of the moon and now, astrophysicists think they know why. This mystery is called the Lunar Farside Highlands Problem and dates back to 1959, when the Soviet spacecraft Luna 3 transmitted the first images of the dark side of the moon back to Earth. sciencedaily/releases/2014/06/140609122056.htm
