NASA has released images of the other side of the Moon that we've never seen before.


A number of people who've seen NASA's annual lunar phase and libration videos have asked what the other side of the Moon looks like, the side that can't be seen from the Earth. This video answers that question. The imagery was created using Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter data.

LROC is a fake representation of what the moon is.  Areas seem unreal.


The real moon is occupied.  As this video shows from Apollo 11.  Not great quality, it is the area depicted in as08-12-2189



A good demo showing great detail.



NASA add brightness and contrast to hide detail.

That's interesting, from what I have seen, people that accuse NASA of that are the ones that change the images to make them look like they want. :)

The video you posted, for example, has a worse image quality than the original on the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal.

A bleached out see nothing video to hide what is really there.

All i did was reduce contrast and brightness.

I need to find an alternative to Photobucket.

Im not paying $400 a  year for it I will upload the images another way soon.

This is a video I made to show image manipulation and what is on the moon you can pause it at any time.

With all the Doom porn and fake crap being posted every 5 minutes, why be paranoid (unless you are violating NDA's or security classifications)

Post it to YouTube...

Pegasus does have a utube channel and a photo gallery available after you meet minimum requirements

Oh thanks for letting me know  :)

Thanks for the video, but I think you are preaching to the choir here, although there are a few here that will dispute your evidence.
And it's not the 'dark' side but the FARSIDE.... ;) ;D just pulling the leg.... ;D

I'm happy to be preaching to the quire which means I wont need to post too much to explain and I will be choosy about what images I post, I call it the dark side although I know it is the far side due to lunar lock. There is no dark side, in fact it is all dark ;)

Sgt.Rocknroll

Please don't stop, I really enjoy someone that's interested in the same thing I do. Besides I'm kinda tired of the Mandela thing. Lolololol

I'm in the process of moving my photos onto flickr

As far as my research goes I have seen images that show detail one day only to find them gone the next.

I tried to post some of what I found before photobucket donned a tri corn hat and mask whilst brandishing a flintlock then demanding $399 ? Robbers. holding people to ransom like that.

An odd request for you Lunar Mapper's

Could you folke take the tour de france route's data and superimpose that onto know lunar data in regards to Elevation?

I think it would be really cool to superimpose  Earth's biggest bike race elevation's onto the Moon to give people some real perspective of the crater's!

Just a thought!

And doing that you reduced even more the image quality.

Many people think that images with higher contrast have more detail, but it's usually the opposite. Almost any time you change something in an image you are reducing its quality. The only action that increases detail and doesn't remove any data is "stretching" the image, as that "spreads" all the colours or grey levels in an image to all the available possibilities, so an image that has the darkest grey level as 10 and the brightest at 240 is changed so the darkest becomes 0 and the brightest 255. By separating more the different levels of grey it's easier for people to see more detail, although it's the same as before.
