A 50-year-old secret is revealed: The dark side of the Moon will be seen by the human eye for the first time

A historic step is being taken in space exploration. With the new mission under NASA's "Artemis" program, the part of the Moon that has been hidden until now and known as the "dark side" will be observed live by humans for the first time.

According to Milli.Az, thanks to the new generation spacecraft and high-precision cameras, the relief, craters, and geological structure of the Moon's far side that is not visible from Earth will be documented.

Since the dark side of the Moon always faces away from the Earth, it was not possible to establish direct radio communication from there. New satellite systems eliminate this "communication gap."

Scientists are investigating the presence of water in the form of ice and useful minerals suitable for future space bases on the Moon's dark side.

For the first time since the "Apollo" missions of the 1970s, humans will go this close to the Moon and see the mysterious regions with their own eyes.
