  • Exploring the Moon's Far Side: Facts and Misconceptions
    There is nothing "beneath" the Moon. The Moon is a spherical object, so there is no "beneath" it. The side of the Moon that always faces away from Earth is called the "far side" or "dark side" of the Moon. However, the dark side of the Moon is not actually dark. It receives just as much sunlight as the near side, but it is not visible from Earth.

    Here are some additional facts about the Moon:

    The Moon is the fifth-largest moon in the Solar System.

    It is the largest natural satellite in the Solar System relative to its planet.

    The Moon is the only celestial body that humans have visited.

    The first humans to walk on the Moon were Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in 1969.

    The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth, which means that it always keeps the same side facing Earth.

    The Moon has a very thin atmosphere, called an exosphere.

    The Moon has a rocky surface that is covered with craters, mountains, and valleys.

    The Moon has no liquid water on its surface, but there may be ice water in the polar regions.

    The Moon has a magnetic field that is about 1/100th the strength of Earth's magnetic field.
