@JCastro4179 @ExploreCosmos_ I thought the same. "They couldn't feed it back to earth bc of the blackout". Soooo they couldn't record it to be seen after they e returned?

@ExploreCosmos_ So Artemis went to the other side of the moon and didn't take any pictures, let alone video. Things that make you go hhmmm

The term “dark side of the Moon” is one of those persistent misnomers: nothing on the Moon is permanently dark. The hemisphere we don’t see from Earth, the far side, receives sunlight just as regularly as the near side, with roughly two weeks of daylight followed by two weeks of night at any given location. The reason we never see that far side is not about lighting, but dynamics. The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, which means its rotational period and orbital period are the same. In practical terms, it rotates exactly once on its axis in the same time it takes to orbit Earth once, so the same hemisphere always faces us. It’s not perfectly fixed, libration lets us glimpse about 18% beyond the edge over time, but the bulk of the far side remains permanently out of direct view. Geologically, the far side really is a different world. It is much more heavily cratered and has far fewer maria, the large, dark basaltic plains formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. On the near side, those maria cover about a third of the surface; on the far side, barely about 1%. The underlying reason is still an active research topic, but the dominant explanation involves asymmetries in crust thickness and heat-producing elements early in lunar history. The near side had conditions that favored widespread basalt flooding, while the far side remained more rigid and preserved its impact scars. That’s why, visually, the far side looks brighter, rougher, and more “primordial.” For decades, this hemisphere was effectively invisible to human eyes. Even during the Apollo missions, astronauts only saw it briefly and under limited lighting conditions. That has just changed in a meaningful way with the Artemis II mission. Now, for the first time since Apollo, humans traveled back to lunar distance and executed a flyby that carried them around the far side. During that phase, the Moon physically blocked all radio communication, producing a ~40-minute blackout, an immediate, practical demonstration of what “far side” really means. While behind the Moon, the crew observed terrain that is rarely described from direct human perception: a landscape dominated by dense cratering, subtle color variations, and large basins like Orientale. They were also farther from Earth than any humans in history, following a free-return trajectory that loops around the Moon and naturally brings the spacecraft back home. When they emerged from behind the Moon, they witnessed Earthrise, one of those moments that tends to reframe the entire Earth–Moon system in a single image. So the “dark side” is not dark, and not mysterious in the literal sense anymore, but it remains scientifically distinct and observationally special. It is the hemisphere shaped by a different thermal and geological history, hidden from Earth not by shadow but by orbital mechanics, and now, thanks to missions like #Artemis II, finally being seen again not just by instruments, but directly by human eyes. © @NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (November 2009 & February 2011)

Morgan- There is not a day where Keanu wants to vote for me to win this game. Vince- He hates me. I'm so sorry to tell you this, you are going to end up on The Challenge with him, and you are going to have to deal with him again #BB27

@BB_Updates Glad to see Lauren speaking logically for a change. I don't think she's a flaky as she seems.

@a_bi_bitch3 @TheSpoilerGirl My opinion is that production set this week up to get Riley out due to the backlash with his behavior. Seems to me like he was told he had to go and keep it classy. Can't wait to see exit interviews!

@TheSpoilerGirl Even still, Morgan locked in with 29 before him so why did he go for it when he had a minute left and could’ve beaten her even if he couldn’t see Mickey.

@LyndaLeininger @MichaelDeLauzon From my understanding, the Reason why ppl will say, “unalived,” is to prevent their video from being flagged; That quickly leads into the visibility becoming either restricted, or the video is removed in its entirety.

@joshuagates @Discovery I'm not really digging the new ghost Heather. Nice gal I'm sure but she's clearly doing a bit of acting and it's kinda obvious. Where is Jessica??
