"I am a space lover. I love to research new things about space, about our genesis and of course if there are other intelligent beings in outer space."
The moon is never ever visible whole from Earth. That's why lots of myths were created about what is on the other side of the moon... The side that we have never seen. In this post, I will analyze some articles and facts.
From Earth, we could see about 50 to 60% of its surface. This is according to scientists reason that the moon follows essentially the Earth's path. Many people have tried to observe with telescopes the "dark side" of the moon but apparently did not succeed. The course of both bodies is so synchronized that it is impossible to ever see it (the other side).
This remained unknown until half a century ago until the Soviets sent the Luna 3 (1959), which was photographed for the first time, the "dark side of the moon".
After the first shot, we succeeded to have more pictures, even more clear and more detailed.
Here we can compare the "Face side" (left) and the Dark Side" (right).

Some of the features of the geography are labeled in this image.
In addition to the human's desire to see what is on the dark side of the moon, even when it became reality, several created conspiracies about the presence of extraterrestrials in the dark side. Indeed, it is suspected that the astronauts of Apollo's missions saw the aliens but asked them to keep their mouths closed.
Other theories say that in some photos, cast on the moon seems to be built. Yet another theory says that during the cold war between the Americans and the Soviets, the latter made nuclear tests on the dark side of the moon.
It was later known that the Americans wanted to bomb the moon through Project A119.
