Wow.

Awesome pics.

I wonder,,, since our moon always has the same 'side' faving away from earth, does it actually stop a lot of incoming asteroids,etc, that would otherwise hit earth?

There seem to be some big impacts in these new pictures of the 'dark side'.

I didn't see Planet "B" there, There's also an Asteroid Belt. 7% of Americans "think" the earth is FLAT. More cratering happens when there is No atmosphere. Just Imagine the State of your Mind IF you didn't believe in Science?   Nev

Which one are we going to send Trump and Musk to, on a one-way trip? Musk want to go live on Mars - just any closer planet will be fine by me, as long as he stays there, incommunicado.

All Elon would have to do is saddle him up, pull the plug and the hot air would propel them all the way.

Here's the Moon in 1969. I have a set of slides given to me by a photo lab for professional photographers in Sydney CBD. I've kept them all this time and only scanned them in Sep 2024. I can post more If you want to see them, there's 19 all up, different scenes.

You've kept those slides in good condition by the look of it. I had heaps of old slides and didn't store them right in the humid climate and they're nearly all stuffed now.

These moon slides have always been in their own cardboard pack, a sort of fold out thing, and they've been up and down the East coast from Sydney to Cains, but never opened much. I was just keeping them as souvenirs. When I bought an Epson scanner, I decided to scan them.

 

I think this is the famous one, if I remember, published around the world. Click on it.
