月は地球に対していつも同じ面を向けているのはご存じでしょうか?月が地球の周りを1周する間に地球自体も1回自転してしまうので、月の裏側は地球から見ることはできないのです
ではその裏側はというと、表側よりも多数のクレーターに覆われた衝撃的な光景が広がっています。月の表と裏の違いの理由は諸説あるようで、様々な研究機関が研究している難しいテーマなのだそうです
また、より近接した「月の裏側」の動画をNASAが公開しています。こちらはまるでSF映画のような神秘的な迫力のある動画となっています

Do you know that the Moon always has the same side facing to the Earth?
Because the Earth rotates itself one time while the moon orbits around the Earth, we can not watch the other side of the moon.
So how is the other side of the moon? It is astonishing view of the surface covered by more crater than the front side. There are many theories about the difference between the front side and the back side of the moon and it is said that this is a difficult theme that many research institutions study.
Also, NASA publish videos of the backside of the moon taken from near the moon. This video is a mysterious and impressive video.

Do you know that the moon always faces the earth with the same side (the front side, hereafter)? While the moon goes once round the earth, the earth itself rotates once. Therefore, you can not see the other side (the back side, hereafter) of the moon.
The surface of the back side is covered with more craters than the front side, which creates a striking landscape. There seems to be various theories on the reason for the difference between both sides and many different research institutes working on the theme find it challenging.
NASA has released a video filming a closer image of "the back side of the moon". The video provides a mysterious and powerful image of the back side like a SF movie.

Did you know that the moon always faces the same surface to the earth? While the moon goes around the Earth, the moon rotates itself exactly one turn. This is the reason why you cannot see the other side of the moon from the Earth.
On the other hidden side of the moon, there are more craters than the surface facing the Earth that makes the view on the hidden side more shocking. There are several theories to explain this difference between the two surfaces and it is a difficult theme researched by various research institutions.
NASA is making a video clips open to public that shows the hidden side of the moon taken from close distance. This is very mysterious and overwhelming video clip just like Sci-Fi movies.
