A powerful probe of NASA has created a more analytical perspective, but on the other side of the moon.
Lunar of NASA Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), took the photo that was released with a stream of data from other satellites in the last week. The picture is actually a mosaic of thousands of different images of lunar far side taken by wide angle lunar orbiter's camera.
The new image provides a more complete picture of the history and composition of the side of the moon to date, and should serve as a valuable resource for the scientific community, the researchers said.
Side of the MoonTidal forces of the moon and Earth affect the Moon's rotation so the satellite is now only one side of ourselves, as scientists call the next closest. The "dark side" - sometimes wrongly, that the "dark side" - remained hidden from humans until 1959, when the first Soviet spacecraft Luna 3 took pictures.
Since then, scientists have learned that the dark side of the moon is a very different place than the next closest.
Widespread basaltic plains called "Maria" from the volcanic activity has long covered much of the limb. But basaltic volcanism was much more limited than the other, and therefore, the area sports a married couple of isolated cases, the researchers said.
The new image was constructed using data from a camera Relations Officer of the wide-angle, one of the three main imaging tools for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC). Comments LROC is a small part of a huge pile of data published on March 14 orbiter. When taken in general, in science in September RSO delivered more than 192 terabytes of data in the new version - science in September RSO delivered more than 192 terabytes of data in the new version - enough to cover approximately 41.000 DVD, officials of NASA.
