The Orion spacecraft is providing us with stunning images like this one. Say hello to the far side of the #Moon - a side we aren't able to see due to the tidal locking of the Moon. This means the Moon orbits our planet with the same period as it spins around its own axis of rotation, so we can only see one face.
