You never saw our Moon as well: up close, in all the details - and spinning! As it rotates around its own axis, our natural satellite also revolves around the Earth and therefore always displays the same face for us, keeping the other hidden - his famous (and erroneously named) dark side . But this animation from NASA, created with images from NASAs Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft orbiting the satellite, allowing us to envision this whole movement! Two new quests should exploit it in the near future: one recently launched by NASA, examine the thin lunar atmosphere from October. Another, Chinese, must soon send a robotic vehicle to explore its surface. Ah, the start position of the video portrays our view from Earth.
