People who like Pink Floyd references, rejoice, because NASA’s Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission has beamed back its first video of the dark side of the moon. Click through to see what that astronaut that everybody forgets about saw while Armstrong and Aldrin were hogging all the glory.
The footage includes the 900-kilometer-wide Mare Orientale basin, and the 150-mile-wide star-shaped Drygalski crater. Both landmarks were created by asteroid impacts after the moon’s formation.
GRAIL, the department that spent far too much time trying to think of an acronym to justify their cool name, sent the twin recording satellites, Ebb and Flow, in September 2011.
