Moon Watching: It's just a Phase

from translunar: Hosted by VSW

Are you a "lunatic", like Paul? Do you love watching the Earth's companion, our moon, Luna? Then maybe, you are! Even though we are all very familiar with the cratered face of the moon, it's always a joy to observe this celestial body a bit closer. Look for certain spots, find formations or signs of its strange history and develop sort of a geographical understanding of the only place outside of Earth, humans have set foot on. And there is the Dark Side of the Moon. The one we humans never see. What lies there, hidden from Earth, always looking out into the emptiness of space?
