You are looking in the mirror.

∙ 14y agoWhen you look far and near and side to side, you are exercising your eye muscles and practicing visual tracking. This helps improve your ability to focus at different distances and enhances your peripheral vision. It also reduces eye strain and can prevent conditions like computer vision syndrome.
The moon spins at the same speed that it orbits the earth so we always see the same side.
The general infereince is that it looks the same as the near side. That all changed when the Soviets sent Luna 3 to the far side of the moon in October, 1959. Luna 3 sent back very low quailty photos which revealed the far side to be full of craters. There were no mares (or seas) on the far side at all. NASA orbiters (including manned missions) returned much more detailed photos of the far side, which confirmed the findings of Luna 3.
Yes, that makes sense. Actually the Moon pulls the near side of the Earth - the side that is nearer the Moon - stronger than the far side, and this is what causes the tides.
Both sides of the moon are pocked with craters, but the far side tends to have more large, basin-sized craters. These large craters can provide shielding from disruptive signals from Earth, making it an ideal location for telescope installations aimed at observing deep space.
This is an uneducated way of referring to the far side of the moon. But the far side isn't always dark.
The crater shapes and shading is different but otherwise the same as this side. Comment: There's one big difference between the far side and the near side of the Moon. The far side lacks the "maria" which are such a feature of the near side.
Yes.
Almost all the maria are on the near side. The far side is mostly just craters.
The near side and the far side .
Apollo missions did not land on the far side of the Moon because they required direct communication with Earth to ensure the safety and success of the missions. The far side of the Moon is always out of direct line of sight from Earth, making communication difficult or impossible.
The side of the Moon that faces Earth is called the near side, and the opposite side the far side. The far side is often inaccurately called the "dark side," but in fact, it is illuminated exactly as often as the near side: once per lunar day, during the new Moon phase we observe on Earth when the near side is dark
because its different cheese
you have to be near the moon
No, there is not. There is a far side, but it gets just as much light as the near side.
The far side of the Moon has more craters because it lacks the large expanses of dark, smooth volcanic maria that are present on the near side. These maria shielded the near side from impacts, preserving its surface. Additionally, the far side is more exposed to incoming asteroids and meteoroids due to its position away from Earth, leading to more frequent impacts.
While the earth rotates, the moon revolves around it. While the moon rotates it has different phases. Improvement : I think this question is about the fact that the Moon's crust seems to be thicker on the "far side". This may be why there's much less sign of volcanic activity on the far side.
