Autograph notes on the satellites of Jupiter (14–25 January 1611).
‘On this scrap of paper (an unfolded envelope), Galileo recorded the
positions of four satellites of Jupiter over a period of several nights.
He had observed the moons with the aid of his newly constructed
telescope and published his findings in his revolutionary book The Starry Messenger (1610)‘Image and text courtesy The Morgan Library and Museum.

The moon passed between NASA’s Deep Space Climate Observatory and the Earth, allowing the satellite to capture this rare image of the moon’s far side in full sunlight. As the moon is tidally locked to the Earth and doesn’t rotate, we only ever see the one face from the Earth. Awesome shot!
so basically this is the moon’s ass
if this is the moon’s ass could you say we’re getting
mooned
