We've all heard the term "dark side of the Moon" as a description for the far side of our planet's satellite. The video above, uploaded to YouTube in July 2009 by YouTube user New World Horizon, purports to show a former U.S. Air force official, Sergeant Karl Wolf, and Ms. Donna Hare, a former NASA employee, saying before the national press club that they saw NASA photographs showing “huge alien structures” on the dark side of the Moon and UFOs flying around or parked on the lunar surface. News Photos show Earth from dark side of the moon. The images were acquired by NASA’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC), a four megapixel CCD camera and telescope on the DSCOVR satellite, which orbits about 1.6 million kilometers (1 million miles) from Earth. Feb. 12, 2015 Even though the images sent back from Luna 3 weren’t the best, it was the first set of images of the moon’s far side, a first for the Soviets and mankind. They aren't transmitted back to Earth until 11 days later. The pictures were taken about three weeks ago from Lunik 3, the Soviet satellite launched on 4 October, and transmitted by radio to the Earth, 300,000 miles (483,000 km) away. In this photo provided Jan. 3, 2019, by China National Space Administration via Xinhua News Agency, the first image of the moon's far side taken by China's Chang'e-4 probe. Share this - copied. The images sent back to Earth were among the first which allowed researchers to take a peek at the numerous geological formations on the far side of Earth’s natural satellite, but among them, one image caused quite a stir among researchers and Ufologists. The Dark Side of the Moon est construit sur les expérimentations que les membres de Pink Floyd avaient faites tout au long de leurs précédents albums et concerts, mais abandonne les longues parties instrumentales qui, d'après le critique David Fricke, étaient devenues la marque de fabrique du groupe dès le départ de Syd Barrett, en 1968. The spacecraft snapped the pictures from the dark side of the moon from about 1.6 million kilometers (1 million miles) away in mid-July. New images published by NASA show the Earth's surface from the side of the moon invisible from the planet's surface. With a new set of imagery coming from the lunar orbiter, NASA has finally pieced together a high resolution map of the dark side of the moon. In an unusual treat for astronomers, and perhaps Pink Floyd fans, what is often known as the dark side of the moon has been captured, fully illuminated, by a camera aboard a Nasa satellite.. Zond 3 was meant to reach Mars, and photographing the far side of the moon was a secondary objective for the Soviet Spacecraft.
