What’s on the Far Side of the Moon? 🌙 | Tutki Asks Why

We always see the same face of the Moon… so what’s hiding on the other side? 🌙 Tutki the octopus finds out whether the far side is really dark, peeks at what covers it, cuts the Moon in half to see why, helps a robot lander phone home, and looks up at the far side’s sky. Talk it over at every countdown, and stay for the fun facts! ▶ Try it yourself, free: https://nowiseewhy.com/moon-face?from... An interactive 3D lesson for ages 5–11, with a Grown-ups level too.

The far side of the Moon gets just as much sunshine as our side: at new Moon it’s fully lit, so “dark side” really meant “unknown”. It’s covered in craters with hardly any dark seas, because its thicker crust kept the lava in. A lander there talks to the Earth through a relay satellite, and the Earth never rises in its sky, which makes it the quietest place nearby to listen to space. Never point binoculars or a telescope at the Sun. Tutki Asks Why: a science adventure for curious kids, with Tutki the octopus. Got a "why" question?
