The back side of the Moon always faces away from Earth and is not visible. The Apollo 8 astronauts were the first people to view the back side of the moon directly, when they orbited the moon. The first pictures of the back side of the moon were taken by the Soviet Union's Luna 3 space probe in 1959.
From the first quarter moon face, the right side is the shining side. The first quarter moon occurs when half of the moon's face is illuminated and visible from Earth.
This is either a "First Quarter" or a "Third Quarter" Moon.
yes people can fly to the moon, the first man to step foot on the moon was neil armstrong. he traveled along side with edwin aldrine jr on apollo 11.
Yes, China's Chang'e-4 mission landed on the far side of the moon in January 2019, making it the first mission to achieve a soft landing on that side. This mission allows China to explore and study the previously unexplored territory of the moon.
There is No light and dark side to the Earth. The Earth rotates in 24 hours, every day. You are Probably thinking of the Moon. The Moon has a light and dark side, because only one side always faces the Earth, and the other side always faces away from the Earth. The first human beings were the first people to see the light side of the Moon. The Russians sent a satellite to orbit the Moon in the 1950s and they were the first people to see images of the dark side of the Moon. On December 24, 1968, Apollo 8 (USA) with Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and John Anders orbited the Moon and they saw it's dark side. They read from the Bible, wished Everyone a Merry Christmas, and then they returned to the Earth.
It is because that the same side of the moon is always facing us. It is only possible to see the other side of the moon by orbiting it.
Americans being first on the Moon
There was a camera mounted on the side of the spacecraft which Armstrong activated using a remote on his suit.
The Moon spins at the same rate that it orbits the Earth; once every 27 days. Because of that, the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. Before the Soviet Luna space probes which took photos of the far side of the Moon, no one had ever known what it looked like. People of India cannot see the far side of the Moon? The People of EARTH cannot see the far side of the Moon.
Only 21 people have ever seen the far side of the Moon; they are all the Apollo astronauts. Since nobody has gone to the Moon in the last 45 years, most people NEVER see the far side of the Moon.
