      NASA Satellite Captures The Dark Side Of The Moon

      USA’s space agency - National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) - released images and a gif of the far side of the moon, commonly called the dark side of the moon.

      These images taken by a NASA satellite called Deep Space Climate Observatory or DSCOVR. They show a unique view of the moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth.

      The images were captured by Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC), a four megapixel CCD camera and telescope on the DSCOVR satellite. This satellite is orbiting 1 million miles from Earth.

      From its position between the sun and Earth, DSCOVR conducts its primary mission of monitoring solar wind for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

      The far side of the moon was not seen until 1959 when the Soviet Luna 3 spacecraft returned the first images. Since then, several NASA missions have imaged the lunar far side in great detail.
