For a long long long time within human history, we'd only ever been able to see one side of the moon. Yet, in 1959, thanks to the USSR's Luna 3 space probe, humans got their first glimpse of what the other side of the moon looked like.
Interesting. You'd almost think that the moon would spin as it orbits, but no, it's always facing us that one way. Which is good as it's got a lot of craters on that side taking the asteroids hits for us.
[did you know it's still Space Week?]
The famous Yo-Yo Ma was 4 years old when they first got that photo.
Maybe he was already practicing that cello at that age. [he was]
Celebrate his birthday with a chocolate covered pretzel, as it's that National Day in the US.
