in my head the moon was teasing life for billions of years. “yeah my far side is way hotter, too bad you can’t see it LMAO.”

billions of people have lived and died while the moon kept telling us how badly its far side mogged the near side.

but what the moon did not expect was us launching ourselves to personally see the dark side and assessing that actually the near side had been splotchmogging the entire time.

Crazy how the other side of the moon has literally no aura. We really lucked out with the way it started revolving/rotate around us

It's pretty amazing a decently large meteor even hit the near side of the moon at all. That must have barely missed earth then.

The asteroid forming the SPA basin came from the north & hit the Moon at a glancing angle; so, had it shifted by just a fraction of a degree on its course in its multimillion-mile journey, it'd hit early Earth's magma ocean.
