It’s fascinating to me to learn that most of the far side of the #moon to date has been so poorly photographed, if at all.

So it’s also fascinating to me that #Artemis2 was launched during a full moon, where most of the far side would still be shrouded in darkness.

I know the mission had been delayed multiple times, but I wish they’d launch during a new moon, so we get some well-lit images of the other side.

EDIT: This isn’t accurate. The far side has been photographed quite well by Lunar Orbiters. The claim is that much of the far side has not been seen by *human eyes*.
