When you look at the moon over and over once more, you will see the same view of the moon that our early ancestors saw when it illuminated their path following sunset. Only one side of the moon might be seen from Earth, until 1959, when the Soviet Luna 3 spacecraft orbited the moon and humans were able to… From seeing the far side of the moon for the first time. Why do we see only one side of the moon? It takes the Moon to make a complete orbit around the Earth the same amount of time as it does to make a revolution on its axis, which is approximately 28 days, so we always see the same side of the Moon. Over the past decades, the near side of the Moon has been well studied because we can see it. Astronauts landed on the near side of the Moon so they might communicate with NASA on Earth, and all samples from the Apollo missions were taken from the near side as well. Scientists confirm that although the far side of the Moon is not visible, it is not accurate to call it the dark side of the Moon, as all sides of the Moon face day and night just as we do here on Earth. All sides have equal amounts of day and night over the course of One month, and a lunar day lasts regarding two Earth weeks. Efforts to explore the far side of the moon have enabled astronomers to draw a complete map of the lunar surface using modern satellites. The Chinese mission, Chang’e 4, is currently exploring the Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon, the first mission of its kind to ever land there. Researchers hope the Chang’e 4 mission will help answer questions regarding lunar surface features and craters, and test whether objects can grow in lunar soil. Scientists seek to monitor low-frequency radio light coming from the Sun or beyond, which is impossible to detect on Earth due to human activity, such as television and radio broadcasts and other forms of communication signals. Low-frequency radio goes back in time to the first stars and the first black holes, giving Astronomers have a greater understanding of how the structures of the universe begin to form.
