StellarSnap📸 Lunar Nearside
Why do we always see the same side of the Moon? 🌕
Because the Moon spins and orbits Earth at the same rate, one face is always turned toward us.
This detailed view is a mosaic made from 1,300 images taken by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, revealing maria, craters, and highlands in sharp detail.
