clearly not, seeing as the far side is mostly covered in blackness at this time

It's only showing like 30% of the far side, all the dark areas are visible from earth already.

>>16950507
what are the chances they went to the far side and saw absolutely nothing?

>>16950581
The Moon is a boring ball of rock.

>>16950581
They mostly saw nothing, the picture has basically all of the far side they saw. Starlight may allow them to pick up some detail on the far side beyond that but nothing interesting for certain.

>>16950610
Shouldn't they have done some long exposure photography?

>>16950507
I wish that more fictional art exaggerated the colors of the moon like that.

>>16950593
An airless rock, even.

>>16950633
Well yes but I include that into "saw nothing" because it's not with their eyes. If they wanted to look at a picture of the far side of the moon there's plenty available with high definition and full lighting, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter for instance has a pretty good catalog of amazing pictures.

Thats where they keep the cow tools.

I often get hit with this disturbing notion that the entire visible universe is just full of boring lifeless balls of rock, and earth is all we have, it's all there is.

>>16950755
Well you can weep and gnash your teeth about the vastness of cosmic indifference, or take pleasure knowing that we are pretty much the focal point of it all

>>16950755
>earth is all we have, it's all there is.
it's possibly but given how many stars are out there it's highly improbably. what is more disturbing is that barring some innovation like reifying the alcubierre drive, we'll most likely never know about them.

>>16950755
We're just as "boring" as those lifeless balls of rock.

>LE HECKING STAR 4.2 LIGHT YEAR AWAY! WOW!

Reminder that Elon Musk's Occupy Mars shirt doesn't have Mars on it. The Moon with a red filter over it was used. Some think this was a secret signal that he knew he'd have to do the Moon first even though he kept saying it was a waste of time. Others think it was simply lazy graphic design.

>>16950728
They said in the stream they saw the dark side clearly during the eclipse because of Earthshine but the cameras wouldn't pick it from dynamic range. I figure they were able to see as much as a moonlit night.

>>16951477
The far side is not illuminated by earthshine. It's on the wrong side of the moon.

the news keeps saying "never seen before seen by human eyes" to play it up

and they went 4000 miles further then apollo

but out of 1/4 million miles?

weather use to be "going 2 rain"

now 100 million under threat from atmospheric river/bomb cyclone!

>>16951948
I can't find it now but there's a map showing what the apollo missions actually saw up close and there's a big blind spot, so it's a correct statement even if it doesn't mean as much as they make it out to be

>>16951948
>the news keeps saying "never seen before seen by human eyes" to play it up
So NASA now admits that none of the Apollo astronauts were really humans?
Gnorts!

>>16951950
>there's a big blind spot
Considering one astronaut remained in the command module, this is unexpected.

It's the first time a star other than our sun was shown at this level of detail. You're the retard for not understanding what that image represents.

were all the apollo missions during "full moon"?

the time when the far side is REALLY the dark side?

what is improbable is life, let alone intelligent life, let alone civilization, let alone industrial civilization, let alone spacefaring industrial civilization
multiply the probability for each and you get a vanishingly small chance for there to be multiple civilizations in the same galaxy
The odds that there is another civilization within the visible universe at the same time as us, within the same cosmic epoch that spans billions of years, are nearly zero

what's that blue/purple stuff? does it actually look like that or is it one of those color renders, I hate it when they do that why can't they just take pictures with an iphone?

That's an incorrect notion though. The universe is full of fucking nothing. The lifeless balls of rock make up just a tiny insignificant part of it.

Not at all, unless you define life solely as organic cellular compounds (big mistake).
