Earth’s gravitational pull on the moon has revealed that our satellite’s interior is warmer on its near side, the one facing our planet, suggesting its insides are uneven. In the GRAIL mission ...

According to the new data, the far side of the Moon is covered by a layer of loose deposits known as lunar regolith that run up to 12 meters thick.

China’s latest robotic probe, called Chang’e 6, landed on the far side of the moon. That’s a much more challenging task because the far side faces away from our planet and there’s no ...

It wasn’t until 1959 when the Soviet Luna 3 probe gave us our first glimpse of the Moon’s far side, and it wasn’t until 2019 when the Chang’e 4 mission made the first soft landing.

The two canyons, called Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck, are located on the far side of the moon, so they can only be seen from orbit—not from Earth. Each canyon is over 165 miles long and ...

And as for the record’s message, “Dark Side of the Moon” provides an ethical challenge that is just as prescient now as it was 50 years ago. If anything, its themes have become even more vital.
