Far Side of the Moon

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Moon always shows us its familiar near side, but from orbit, Apollo astronauts saw the far side. This image from Apollo 16's mapping camera shows the eastern edge of the near side and the heavily cratered far side. The far side looks very different from the near side, which is covered with smooth, dark lunar maria.
