“Wait, get my good side.” – The Moon, probably This less-familiar view of our only natural satellite came from our Galileo spacecraft as it passed by the Moon on its journey to Jupiter. On the left side are features never seen from Earth. Launched in 1989 aboard the space shuttle Atlantis, our Galileo spacecraft explored Jupiter and its moons traveling a total of 2.8 billion miles (4.6 billion km) on its 14-year journey. Galileo passed Earth and its Moon twice, mapping the Moon’s surface and observing its north polar regions. Missions like Galileo helped shape our understanding of the Moon and continue to impact future Moon exploration with #Artemis. Image description: The full Moon is centered against the blackness of space. From this angle of the Moon, the flat, dark volcanic plains normally viewed from Earth are on the right side of the surface. On the left side is part of the heavily cratered far side of the Moon with very few flat plains. Credit: NASA/JPL/USGS #Moon #Lunar #G...
