In 1959, the USSR, for the first time in the world, showed people what was on the far side of the moon. Photos were taken from the automatic interplanetary station "Luna-3". The spacecraft was launched into airless space on October 4 using the Vostok-L launch vehicle. The unique images were sent at 3 a.m. on October 7, 1959. The signal was received by the Simeiz Observatory (now part of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory). The views of the "invisible side of the moon" transmitted to Earth covered a distance of 483 thousand kilometers. Peering at the blurry pictures, many wondered "on the spots": what is on the far side of the moon? Yes, the quality of the images was poor, but they were mined! The leader of the USSR's research got the right to name the objects discovered on the surface of the nearest satellite. The whole world learned which sea is on the far side of the moon - Moscow. Its part, which goes deep into the land, was called the Bay of Astronauts. The crater about 60 miles (96.5 km) from it was named after Professor Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, a pioneer of astronautics. The ridge near the equator sounded proudly like a Soviet one. A dark spot near the border of the visible and invisible parts of the Moon has become the Sea of Dreams.
Why is the Moon always visible from Earth only from one side? Because of this, it is impossible to know what is on the far side of the moon! The reason lies in the fact that the Moon makes a revolution around the Earth in the same time during which the Earth turns around its axis. Axial and orbital rotation is 27.3 days. Synchronization of motion took place about 4 billion years ago.
NASA's Astrophysical Information System in 1968 released a catalog that contains descriptions of about six hundred anomalous phenomena on the lunar surface. This catalog contains information on moving UFOs of various sizes and shapes, lunar craters that appear and disappear, rainbow fogs, flashes of bright light and the casting of shadows by unknown objects. And the Russian astronomer Kozyrev recorded a series of red flashes on the lunar surface. Anomalies of this kind were often recorded in the area of one of the largest lunar craters. Its diameter is over one hundred kilometers. He received the name "Alphonse". This crater is the most mysterious place on the moon.
American astronomer Carl Sagan made a statement in the 60s of the last century that caves were discovered on the lunar surface, the size and shape of which suggests that they are not natural objects. The inner volume of the largest cave is over one hundred cubic kilometers. At one time, American astronauts said that almost all lunar missions of the Apollo spacecraft in the period from 1968 to 1972 were carefully monitored by representatives of alien civilizations. In addition, there have been recorded cases of contact between astronauts and aliens. They communicated with the astronauts using a special code cipher. The theory of the existence of such a cipher was confirmed in 1958 by the Japanese astronomer Kenzahuro Toyoda. He managed to see seven giant letters on the lunar surface, which disappeared after a few nights. The appearance of these letters remained unexplained.
Neil Armstrong's phrase was leaked to the media recently. The American astronaut pronounced it immediately after landing on the lunar surface: “Oh, Lord! Yes, there are other spaceships. They are along the far edge of the crater and are watching us! " Joseph Shklovsky, a Soviet astrophysicist, suggested that the Moon could well be a huge, dormant alien spacecraft. A little later, a similar version was put forward by the radio astronomer Alexei Arkhipov from Russia. He made the assumption that the Moon is nothing more than an alien station, which was created specifically to observe the Earth and its inhabitants.
Scientists and astronomers, including employees of the American space agency, are confident that the world government is hiding information from people regarding the stay of aliens on Earth's satellite. But the presence of photographs that captured various buildings and traces of technology left on the soil of the moon testify to the opposite. Alien bases are believed to be hidden on the far side of the moon. Astronauts from the Apollo mission became eyewitnesses of the so-called "lunar kingdoms". Rumor has it that on the far side of the moon there are towers and castles made of a transparent material that resembles rhinestone. There are also various types of vehicles and vehicles that leave traces.
In 2010, photos leaked onto the Internet, allegedly taken with the Cassiopeia probe of the so-called dark side of the moon. They sparked controversy among astronomers and conspiracy theorists alike. Photos show structures in the Schrödinger crater near the south polar region of the Moon; official sources were unable to provide a clear explanation for this phenomenon.

Secret photos of the Moon collected from various sources from around the world.

bases on the moon
Astronauts who made flights to the moon under the Apollo program were very often accompanied by UFOs (unidentified flying objects). An official NASA photograph (AS12-497319) taken during the Apollo 12 flight clearly showed a large UFO hovering over the Moon.
Government policies to keep the truth about UFOs secret from the general public are superbly described and documented in several books by renowned astronomers such as Allen Hynek (US Air Force UFO consultant), Major Donald Keyhoe , Timothy Good (his book Top Secret) and many other professional researchers. One of the undisputed experts we can trust is Christopher Kraft, former director of NASA. He gave us the following entry (after leaving his post at NASA), made in Houston during the Apollo 11 lunar mission:
ASTRONAUTS NEIL ARMSTRONG and BUZZ ALDRIN speak from the moon: “These are gigantic things. No, no, no ... This is not an optical illusion. There can be no doubt about that! "
FLIGHT CONTROL (HUSTON CENTER): “What… what… what? What the hell is going on there? What's happened?"
ASTRONAUT: "They are here below the surface."
FLIGHT CONTROL: “What is there? The connection was interrupted ... the control center is calling Apollo 11. "
ASTRONAUTS: “We saw several visitors. They were there for a while, checking the equipment. "
FLIGHT CONTROL: "Repeat your last message."
ASTRONAUT: “I say that there are other spaceships here. They stand in a straight line on the other side of the crater. "
FLIGHT CONTROL: “Repeat… repeat!”
ASTRONAUT: Let us probe this sphere ... 625 to 5 ... the automatic relay has connected ... My hands are shaking so much that I cannot do anything. Take it off? Oh my God, if these damn cameras get some footage ... what then? "
FLIGHT CONTROL: "Can you film something?"
ASTRONAUT: “I no longer have a tape at hand. Three shots from the "plate", or whatever this thing is called, ruined the film. "
FLIGHT CONTROL: “Take back control! Are they in front of you? Are there any UFO noises? ”
ASTRONAUT: “They landed here! They are here and they are watching us! ”
FLIGHT CONTROL: "Mirrors, mirrors ... can you adjust them?"
ASTRONAUT: “Yes, they are in the right place. But those who built these ships may arrive tomorrow and take them away. Once and for all."
It is only logical that if government agencies have discovered secret UFO bases, then they should keep it secret from the public, and also develop a "cover story" in order to hide the truth about the moon. However, the problem was that the witnesses “spoke” with our Division regarding alien affairs.
Among the experts who told us about life on the moon and astronaut discoveries were Farida Iskiovet, a former UFO consultant to the UN president, the mysterious Mr. English, who took top secret photographs for NASA and lunar astronauts. former Naval Intelligence Commander Mark Huber, highly classified information, Sergeant Willard Wannal, Army Intelligence, Major Wayne S. Aho , while serving in military intelligence, has submitted UFO research materials to Congress for consideration, Dr. James Hurrah of NASA's space program, and others with secret clearances. I have spoken personally with all of the aforementioned researchers.
The heightened interest in life on the moon captured public opinion after radio reports of Marconi Tesla's experiments trying to transmit radio signals to the moon and get a response to them, this did indeed take place. After that, American, British and French astronomers reported flashes of light, flickering and even moving lights on the surface of the moon. During the 20-30 years, you can find numerous reports of this kind of phenomenon in a variety of newspapers and magazines, which can still be found in libraries. This interest culminated when eminent aerial experts, the Pulitzer Prize, who defeated astronomer John O'Neill, publicly announced the discovery of an artificial “bridge” on the moon. There were other witnesses who observed a 12-mile “bridge” that had not previously been there and which later disappeared for unknown reasons (was it too noticeable?). This incident took place in the early 1950s.
Many astronauts Gemeni and Apollo reported seeing UFOs during their flights. For example, astronaut Gordon Cooper publicly admitted that he saw a controlled ship of extraterrestrial origin (we saw his photographs of UFOs). James McDivitt also took photographs of UFOs while flying around the Earth, we saw them. while orbiting Earth and we have seen them as well. The Soviet space program in the 1960s, designed to set a new record for time in orbit, was strangely interrupted after the ship took up position. Private researchers with powerful radio equipment claimed that the Soviet cosmonauts were escorted into orbit by UFOs, which surrounded them and began tossing them back and forth as if the Soviet ship were a ball. Astronauts, panic-stricken, were ordered to return immediately to Earth.
During the 1950s, large numbers of UFOs sighted on Earth returned to the Moon. Their trajectories were tracked by secret government observation complexes located in the deserts of Arizona and Nevada, as well as in underground bases located inside the mountains. WE HAVE A PHOTO OF A PLATE SHAPED SHIP FLYING ABOVE THE MOON, by a civil astronomer. Sergeant Willard Vannail, who investigated the UFO landing in Oahu while serving in military intelligence, showed us 8 or 10 clear glossy photographs of a silvery spacecraft hovering above the lunar surface. Its size was estimated at several miles and was said to be a mother ship (base ship), designed to transport many thousands of people between solar systems or galaxies for long periods of time in full self-support (autonomous mode)!
In the period from 1950 to 60s. civilian astronomers have noticed new movements on the moon, light anomalies, permanent light sources usually located inside craters, along with mysterious cruciform flares.
Soviet and American spacecraft (orbiting the Moon) have begun photographing mysterious structures on the Moon discovered by NASA. There were scientists, such as Fred Steckling, who demanded an explanation from the so-called "civil agency". It's amazing how NASA could release these photos WITHOUT COMMENTS! Many structures could only be seen at higher magnifications.
The American spacecraft RANGER II sent 200 photos of the lunar craters with domes inside. These domes were not new. They were reported in the media by French astronomers about 48 years ago. 33 photos of the dome on the moon sent by Lunar Orbitter 2 were released without comment in Washington D.C. in 1967. On July 1, 1966, NASA officially admitted in the media that the astronauts saw UFOs, however, later denied this information (for those who collect official UFO reports, it will not be difficult to find a large number of conflicting statements proving the cover-up of the truth). All this did not stop astronaut Gordon Cooper from publicly declaring: “I believe in aliens because I saw their spaceship with my own eyes” (during Gemeni's 16 flight). Our Blair cuspids have photographs taken from lunar satellites showing strange spiers forming regular geometric shapes. A tall white spire, similar to the Washington Monument, was photographed on the lunar surface, along with mysterious straight paths or footprints that go straight through craters, hills, valleys and piles of rocks. Some of the domes had flashing lights.
Several NASA photographs we were able to see showed a long, cigar-shaped object lying on the lunar surface that was later absent from other photographs. We saw a photo of the pyramid on the dark side (back side). The DARK SIDE is always hidden from our eyes and telescopes and, obviously, is the ideal place for the aliens to build a secret spaceport. The lack of atmosphere is not a problem when we think of domes with artificial environments. Even NASA admits scientists have the technology (but not billions of dollars) to build artificially air-conditioned underground bases like the military builds for themselves.
Astronaut Edgar Mitchell confidentially told Farida Iskiovet, a spokesman for our Department, that he had seen a UFO on the moon.
In 1978, a mysterious stocky man with the appearance of a typical agent appeared in Maui, calling himself Mr. English. I cannot give his full name. It had NASA HIGHER LEVEL SECURITY clearance. He told me that he was a staff photographer on the Apollo program, photographed the wreckage of a crashed disk in a hangar at a secret Air Force base in Texas, saw a UFO during an astronaut flight. He gave us a large amount of UFO data and admitted that the astronauts actually saw a spacecraft on the Moon, and also confirmed the fact that the Moon was used by UFOs.
The moon is the closest space object to Earth, which has always aroused incredible interest in different generations of mankind, since ancient times. People have always looked at the moon with a certain bewitching mystery, trying to unravel its secrets. At the same time, they themselves composed myths and legends about her.
The moon turned out to be the first celestial body, on which after the earth the foot of a man set foot. With the beginning of the space age, people gave up all their own efforts to learn as much as possible about the Earth's satellite. And each new expedition to the moon brings with it new discoveries. But even so, interest in this object has not diminished in any way. The more people learn new things about the Moon, the more mysteries this information carries.
We also will not be able to unravel the secrets of the celestial body closest to us, but thanks to the numerous photographs that astronauts and scientists have managed to take, we will be able to discover the Moon from a new side. Few managed to see these incredible images, but today we invite you to take a look at these unique landscapes, the center of which is the mysterious beauty Luna.
The first human foot set foot on the lunar surface in 1969. Eight years after Gagarin made his first space flight in the history of mankind, a human foot first set foot on the lunar surface.
The mankind owes these scientific achievements in the field of space exploration in the last century to the so-called "cold war", which began after the end of the Second World War.
Crater on the moon Political competition between East and West on the world stage has greatly accelerated the process of human space exploration. Otherwise, perhaps these significant events would have occurred a little later.
Expedition "Apollo 11" (1969) But it was July 1969, and the United States spacecraft Apollo 11 was in lunar orbit.
The first man to set foot on the moon, Neil Armstrong, filmed the exit of another Aldrin crew member Crew members who first landed on the lunar surface included Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins.
Expedition "Apollo 11" - July 20, 1969 First successful landing on the Moon The biggest problem in this case was the landing. But on the evening of July 20, millions of Earth's inhabitants could watch on television as the captain of the spacecraft, Neil Armstrong, set foot on the lunar surface.
The first snapshot of the lunar surface after lunar landing In his address to earthlings, the astronaut said that this small step of his to the moon is huge for all mankind.
After some time, the first banner from planet Earth appears on the moon - the state flag of the United States.
Man's first step on the lunar surface After that, the rest of the crew landed on the surface of the moon and for another two and a half hours they explored its surface, photographing and collecting samples of the lunar soil.
Footprint of one of the astronauts in the lunar soil Over the next three and a half years, 10 astronauts will follow in their footsteps.
Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin on the lunar surface. One poses, the other takes pictures Gene Cernan, commander of the last Apollo mission, leaves the lunar surface with the words: "We leave when we came and, desiring God, we will return with peace and hope for all of humanity."
Edwin Aldrin Installs Solar Wind Collector Screen For the first time, images of the Apollo expedition were posted on the NASA website in 2015.
Prior to this, photos of the lunar program were not publicly available. The Apollo program worked from 1961 to 1975, during which time 11 missions were launched to the moon, the participants of which were living people.
Edwin Aldrin deploys a seismometer Only 6 of them managed to land on an Earth satellite. The most successful expeditions were Apollo 11, Apollo 12, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16 and Apollo 17.
Soil samples are taken With the 13th Apollo, an accident almost happened, so all the crew members went back to Earth using the emergency module.
Edwin Aldrin poses next to the flag 
The second Apollo 12 mission flew to the moon to find the Surveyor 3 lander, which NASA had landed on an Earth satellite 2 years earlier.
View of the lunar surface from the lander's porthole Scientists were interested in what happens to objects when they stay on the moon for a long time.
Apollo 12 crew commander Charles Konrad near Surveyor 3 The astronauts found the flying machine and removed some parts from it to take with them to Earth for further research.
The lunar vehicle arrives on the moon with the Apollo 15 crew During the fourth landing on the Moon on July 30, 1971, the Apollo 15 expedition stayed on the Moon for three days and used a lunar vehicle for the first time.
Apollo 15 Crew Member Installs Equipment on the Moon Crew members David Scott and James Irwin went to the lunar surface three times to conduct surface research.
In total, the time they spent outside the ship was 18.5 hours. And the astronauts then traveled 28 kilometers on the lunar car, leaving traces on the surface.
Lunar auto This miracle of terrestrial technology, invented by Boeing designers, could reach speeds of up to 13 km / h. The lunar car was powered by electric batteries.
Lunar car wheel tracks Only the astronauts could not accelerate at full speed, because the car on the moon became 6 times lighter in comparison with the earth's weight. Due to lunar gravity, at a speed of over 10 km / h, the car was thrown high on irregularities.
Apollo 16 Moon landing 
It was the Apollo 16 mission, which was lucky to "park" in the highlands of the Earth satellite.
Photo of craters on the lunar surface The last expedition of the lunar program "Apollo 17" landed on the moon on December 11, 1972 and was the longest of all.
Apollo 17 crew members work on the lunar surface This time, the astronauts were brave enough, walking on the surface of the earth's satellite.
Collecting soil on the moon And with the help of the lunar car, they were able to drive far away from their spacecraft and sink to the bottom of the craters.
Lunar landscape, 1972 These people were very lucky: they saw the craters with their own eyes, and not like the rest of the inhabitants of planet Earth - through a telescope.
While on the Moon, the Apollo 17 crew members performed a special mission: they drilled several wells in the Moon and placed explosives there.
After the astronauts headed home, the explosives were detonated.
Thus, scientists were able to measure the speed of propagation of seismic waves on the moon.
In addition, the astronauts took home a large number of lunar soil samples, and in general, the last expedition became the most productive of all the previous ones.
The Apollo mission ended safely back in the 70s of the last century. Does it make sense to go to the moon again? Look for the answer to this question further in our material.
These pictures were taken during all successful expeditions to the moon, which took place about half a century ago. Then the astronauts filmed the surface and landscapes of the moon.
Since the beginning of 2018, the International Space Agency NASA has launched a new campaign in its activities, which concerns the study of the lunar orbit and the surface of the Moon itself.
Scientists have developed a whole program for additional study of the satellite of our planet, within the framework of which certain goals were set regarding manned flights to the Moon and back, flights from the Moon to Mars.
Of course, such a project can be realized in a short time it is simply impossible, so it is designed for the next few years.
NASA's research campaign includes programs to study the near-earth orbit, the orbit around the moon and its surface, as well as distant places, including Mars.
To do this, scientists are working closely with large US industrial companies and international partners who have the innovative capabilities of science and technology and can support NASA astronaut expeditions.
Thanks to the first missions to explore the moon, we have unique photographs, the value of which is difficult to exaggerate today.
Lunar transit
On September 9, NASA observatory scientists observed two solar transits as the Moon passed in front of the Sun. This phenomenon occurs when a celestial body passes between a large body and an observer. The first lunar transit lasted one hour, from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm ET, and obscured 92 percent of the Sun at its peak. The second transit occurred a few hours later at 9:52 pm and lasted a total of 49 minutes, ending at 10:41 pm ET. This transit only covered 34% of the Sun at its peak.
In this image, which was prepared by the scientists of the observatory, you can see a very interesting picture. At first, it seems that the moon is going in one direction, and then changes its path in the opposite direction in order to once again pass by the moon. Such a manifestation became possible due to the fact that the spacecraft, in fact, caught up with and surpassed the Moon during its first transit.
Because the Moon has no atmosphere, not a single ray of the Sun is distorted during transit, allowing a good view of the Moon's surface. This action-packed image shows the rugged, crater-strewn valley and mountains of the Earth's moon
The space camera captured these images at ultraviolet wavelengths, so the sun can be seen to be warmed up to over 5.5 million degrees Celsius. Ultraviolet light is usually invisible to the human eye, but satellites like SDOs allow vortex motion in the Sun's atmosphere to be observed only at these wavelengths.
Glacial deposits on the moon
The image shows the distribution of surface ice at the Moon's South Pole (left) and North Pole (right), as detected by NASA's Moon Mineralogy instrument. Blue represents patches of ice plotted on an image of the lunar surface, where the grayscale corresponds to surface temperature (darker than colder areas and lighter shades, indicating warmer areas). The ice is concentrated in the darkest and coldest places, in the shadow of the craters. This is the first time that scientists have directly observed definitive evidence of water ice on the lunar surface. Scientists from the NASA space agency have tried to find accurate evidence of the presence of water on the Moon, at least as an ice cover. The astronauts tried to find these places in the darkest and coldest places of the earth's satellite. As we can see in the photo, scientists still found these deposits, which may turn out to be ancient. The moon's south pole contains most of the ice found in craters. At the North Pole, ice is spread over a larger area, but more scattered.
Scientists at the University of Hawaii, led by Shuai Li, used data from NASA's Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) to identify three specific signatures that conclusively prove water ice on the moon's surface.
With the help of the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, which was launched by the Indian Research Organization in 2008 with unique equipment, data was collected confirming all the guesses of NASA specialists. In the photo, the lunar poles have some blue spots, which indicate the presence of ice on the moon. But most of the glacial deposits are located near craters, near the poles. In these places, the temperature never rises above -156 degrees Celsius. This is due to the small inclination of the moon's axis, which does not allow sunlight to penetrate there.
Scientists hope that the deposits of ice found on the Moon may be useful as a resource for future missions. This will allow you to stay on the moon longer for research activities. It may be possible to facilitate access to this frozen water.
Knowledge about glacial deposits on the Moon, how they got there, how they interact with the surrounding lunar environment, will be key during a new mission for NASA and its commercial partners in the near future.
Studies of the atmosphere on the moon
Looking at the Moon in the night sky, we see its gray-white robe, a dry desert in vacuum space, which has been in this state for billions of recent years. But astronaut scientists with the help of special equipment managed to make out a slightly different picture.
The fact is that mankind has long been interested in the questions of whether life is possible on the Moon and whether there was ever an atmosphere on the Moon. Planetary volcanologist Dell Needham and his colleague David Kring carried out certain studies and proved that many billions of years ago there was an atmosphere on the Moon. As the scientists explain, this atmosphere was slightly thicker than the one that exists on Mars today. It is this phenomenon that can prove the presence of water ice deposits at the poles of the earth's satellite.
These studies completely overturn the ideas of scientists about the moon. According to Needham, the atmosphere on this celestial body existed for a relatively short time, only about 70 million years. It consisted of carbon monoxide, sulfur and water. But over time, the Moon either lost its atmosphere in space, or it simply dissipated.
The image of the moon, which we can observe today in a telescope, gives only a vague idea of how complex and dynamic the development of the Earth's satellite was, but does not tell us at all what is in its thickness.
The moon is the only celestial body that is closest to the Earth.
Therefore, you can admire the earthly satellite with the naked eye every time it appears in the night or evening sky.
Sometimes the Moon shines so normally that we don't even think about how beautiful it is.
But there are times in life when the moon appears in the night sky in an incredibly interesting way.
She can easily change size, color and shape. In addition, lunar eclipses and supermoons occur from time to time in nature, when our natural satellite changes color to red or blue.
Of course, we have the good fortune to admire the moon with the naked eye. But those who are fortunate enough to have a telescope can examine a celestial body closer, and see its surface.
In addition, many photographers spend a lot of time and energy to finally wait and catch an amazing shot with an extraordinary Moon.
There are many different signs, beliefs and superstitions associated with the Moon among the people. There are lunar calendars, lunar cycles.
And this is absolutely not in vain. After all, if this celestial body is capable of influencing the change of seasons on our planet, then its influence on a person seems undeniable.
Although we from Earth see the Moon in gray-white stone paints, in fact, its color is absolutely different. As it turned out recently, scientists have released information that the Moon is still a "fashionista" and shimmers in many different shades.
Such a natural phenomenon occurs due to the fact that we are in the atmosphere, which tends to break the rays of light, and we see celestial bodies outside our atmosphere in a distorted form.
Even our main luminary, the Sun, does not look yellow, orange or red, but just white. This can only be told by those astronauts who managed to visit the earth's orbit.
And the multi-colored moon has so many bright colors, thanks to the rock that is on its surface. The various types of lunar rocks are predominantly brown in color, but some of them shimmer with blue and pink hues. This combination looks incredibly stunning in the rays of sunlight.
The International Space Agency NASA plans to conquer the moon's orbit again only in 2024. For this purpose, the lunar program has already been developed and published, which was mentioned earlier. The need to further investigate the earth's satellite for scientists arose more than half a century after the first expeditions to the moon of the Apollo mission. Then studies of the lunar surface gave a lot of material for the study of a celestial body and its effect on the Earth. In parallel with the lunar orbit, mankind plans to conquer the Martian expanses. But these are only plans for the near future. Today, NASA astronauts continue to conduct space exploration on the International Space Station, which is in Earth orbit. Of course, from there it is not so easy to see the entire disk of the Earth, but astronauts can contemplate other, no less colorful pictures of the earth's expanses. In addition, the Moon in orbit is getting closer, and it can be better seen.
The International Space Station, being in Earth orbit, at an altitude of more than 27 thousand kilometers, manages to orbit our planet almost 16 times in one day. One lap takes about 93 minutes. During this time, the astronauts on board, in addition to research, manage to catch incredibly beautiful footage of the orbital space of our planet. And together with them we can enjoy a magnificent view of the moon.
At all times, humanity was interested in what is on the far side of the moon.
After all, this celestial body never turns to the earth with the other side, since the moon does not rotate like the earth around its axis.
The whole world was able to see its dark side for the first time only in the middle of the last century, thanks to Soviet scientists.
The world's first photo of the far side of the Moon was taken on October 7, 1959 from the Luna - 3 satellite.
This picture was taken with a conventional film camera. It took a lot of time to develop the film and obtain unique photos, because all the manipulations took place right on board the spacecraft.
To transmit this image to Earth, a special electrical device had to read all the black and light points in the image, and already on Earth, the same device with a ray drew an identical image.
The quality of photographs at that time did not differ in the clarity of the image, so what they saw made scientists think about what they saw.
And from the far side of the moon, dark blurred spots were visible. Nothing concrete astrophysicists could not see them.
After a while, some more pictures were taken. Rumors spread among the masses that on the other side of the moon were space bases of alien aliens. Allegedly, members of the Apollo crews were the first witnesses who were able to contemplate these "alien settlements" on a satellite of the Earth. But none of them ever admitted it.
Scientists continue to argue that the authorities and the leadership of NASA are hiding information from the inhabitants of our planet about what the dark side of the moon actually hides. But those photographs that leaked to the media indicate that on the other side of the earth's satellite are the ruins of ancient buildings and traces of technology.
A rich human fantasy also dared to suggest the presence on the dark side of the Moon of towers and castles made of transparent glass, reminiscent of the purest crystal. Even the scientists themselves say that there are caves, giant letters and other unexplained objects.
Whether this is so, or this information does not correspond to reality, but the indisputable fact remains that the celestial body will not soon reveal its secrets and mysteries to us.
The passage of the moon across the earth's disk And humanity in this vast Universe is only a small grain of sand, which can in no way affect the processes taking place in space.
The first image of the Earth from the Moon, 1966 The view of the moon from Earth has long been a surprise. After all, a person can see the beauty of this heavenly body every day, without even leaving his own home, but simply looking out his window.
But not everyone can look at their planet from the outside. Such a spectacle was available only to a few people - members of the Apollo mission, who were able to land on the moon.
Nobody has ever seen the Earth from another celestial body or planet. But we have wonderful photographs of the Earth taken on the Moon.
The uniqueness of these images is undeniable, because our planet, depicted on them, is presented only from certain angles.
The first photo of the Earth from the Moon was taken with the Lunar Orbit lunar rover in August 1966.
On that day, the spacecraft took more than 300 pictures of a celestial body on its surface.
In December 1968, astronaut William Anders, a member of the Apollo 8 crew, took the following photo of our planet, Earth Rising. Then the first representatives of the Apollo mission just flew around the moon.
Then the Apollo 11 crew members had a small photo session when they were the first to set foot on the lunar surface.
In pictures taken at a later time by other lunar rovers, you can see various effects when the Earth rises on the lunar horizon, or sits behind it.
It all depends on the human perception of objects at different distances. In other photos, we can see that the Earth looks absolutely small in relation to the Moon.
2019 will mark 50 years since the moon felt a human footprint.
And soon the American space agency NASA, together with the US government and commercial partners, plans to continue studying the moon and launch another lunar expedition.
But this will happen no earlier than 2023. Then, perhaps, new beautiful photos of the earth's satellite will appear on our planet. In the meantime, we can only enjoy those photos that are available today.
Thank you for telling your friends about us!
For the first time, the North American Space Agency (NASA) has posted high-resolution photos of the Apollo lunar program on the Internet. More than 9,000 high-resolution images that have never been seen by anyone except specialists were recently posted on Flickr for free use. According to NASA, this is just the first step towards popularizing the Apollo photographic documents, and the rest of the photographs will be made public in the near future.
The Apollo program ran from 1961 to 1975. During this period, 11 manned expeditions were sent to the natural satellite of the Earth, of which 9 reached the Moon, 6 successfully landed on its surface, and one, due to an accident, was forced to fly around the Moon without landing and return home (the other 2 performed preparatory tasks and landing on The moon was not foreseen). The cost of the thirteen-year program was $ 25 billion ($ 139 billion in 2005 dollars), which is almost 10 times less (!) Than the cost of the 9-year war in Iraq.
The six successful expeditions are Apollo 11, Apollo 12, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16 and Apollo 17. The Apollo 13 almost suffered a tragedy due to an accident on board. It was decided to cancel the moon landing, the crew was ordered to transfer from the service module to the lander, and they were sent back to earth in an emergency manner.
Especially for the readers of this blog, I have posted all 9000 photos and made a selection of photos from several expeditions of the Apollo lunar program.
02. Expedition "Apollo 11" - July 20, 1969 First successful landing on the Moon| The lunar lander with Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin undocked from the service module and is heading for the surface of the moon. The third crew member, Michael Collins, remained in the service module.
03. The first snapshot of the surface of the Moon after lunar landing.
04. Unfortunately, in this collection there are no photos of the exit of Neil Armstrong - the first person to set foot on the moon. From the porthole, the stairs, along which Armstrong descended, were not visible. His exit was recorded only by a television camera, fixed on an external rack, through which a live broadcast to Earth was carried out. A few minutes later, Armstrong moved her to another location. All that Edwin Aldrin could photograph in those minutes was the American flag, which Armstrong stuck into the lunar soil, and a television camera standing in the distance.
05. If there were a photojournalist on the moon at that time, then the Armstrong exit he filmed could look something like this. Here Armstrong filmed Aldrin's exit. At this moment it was important not to close the hatch behind you. There was no handle on the outside of the exit hatch. If the hatch slammed shut, the astronauts would not be able to enter the module and return to Earth.
06. As you know, the first words that Neil Armstrong uttered when he first stepped on the lunar surface were: "This is a small step for man, but giant leap for mankind."
07. Footprint of one of the astronauts in the lunar soil.
08. Few people know that the first object that the astronauts threw on the surface from the open door was a bag of rubbish (!). Very human, isn't it?
09. Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin walk on the moon. One poses, the other takes pictures.
10. Labor lunar weekdays began. Edwin Aldrin installs a solar wind collector shield. It was a sheet of aluminum foil 30 cm wide and 140 cm long and was intended to trap helium, neon and argon ions.
12. Edwin Aldrin deploys the seismometer.
14. Soil samples are taken.
15. Edwin Aldrin poses next to the flag. This photograph has been the subject of heated debate over the years. Adherents of conspiracy theorists argued that the supposedly waving flag indicates that the shooting was not done on the moon, but on the ground, and here the action of the wind waving the flag is evident. Fortunately, now anyone can go to the photo archive of this expedition and view all the photos that were captured that day. The curvature of the flag fabric is the same in all photographs, which eloquently testifies to the absurdity of the conspiracy theorists' suspicions. When the wind ripples the fabric of the flag, its shape will change every second and it is almost impossible to repeat it.
16. It is known that when preparing the first expedition to the moon, engineers proceeded from the assumption that over the billions of years of the moon's history, a layer of dust of several feet has accumulated on its surface. Therefore, the "legs" of the lander were made long, with the expectation that during landing they would drown in the dust. To the surprise of the developers and engineers of NASA, the layer of dust on the Moon turned out to be no more than 3-5 cm. Does this indicate the young age of the Moon, and therefore of the Earth? There is something to think about.
17. The astronauts were on the lunar surface for 2.5 hours. When they returned to the lander, they threw away a few more items that they no longer needed - the backpacks of the portable life support system (the same ones that they carried with them), the upper lunar shoes and a camera (cassettes with footage, of course, were saved ). This was necessary in order to lighten the take-off weight of the module as much as possible.
18. Commemorative plaque: "At this place, people from planet Earth first set foot on the moon in July 1969 AD. We came in peace on behalf of all mankind." The lower block of the lander, on the rack of which the plaque was fixed, remained on the moon.
19. The way home. The lunar lander Apollo 11, after taking off from the moon, approaches the command module that was waiting for it in orbit.
20. Expedition "Apollo 12" - November 19, 1969. Second moon landing| Rise of the Earth over the Moon.
21. Another rise of the Earth. Unusual phrase: "Rise of the Earth".
22. View of the lunar surface from the porthole of the lander.
23. Night on Earth.
24. One of the main tasks of the Apollo 12 crew was to find the robotic Surveyor 3 spacecraft, which had landed on the moon 2.5 years earlier. The crew successfully coped with this task and landed the lunar module 200 meters from the Surveyor. In the photo, the commander of the crew, Charles Konrad, near the Surveyor-3 apparatus. Astronauts removed some parts from it and took it with them to earth. Scientists were interested in how these objects were affected by their long stay on the moon. The Apollo 12 lander is in the background.
25. Expedition "Apollo 15" - July 30, 1971. Fourth moon landing| This expedition was the first to use a lunar vehicle.
26. Astronauts David Scott and James Irwin spent nearly three days on the moon. During this time, they made three exits to the surface with a total duration of 18.5 hours.
27. Wheel tracks of the lunar car. Astronauts dashed off 28 kilometers on it.
28. One of the astronauts sets up scientific equipment.
29. The lunar car was developed by Boeing engineers. The wheels are made of braided steel wire. The car was powered by electric batteries and could reach speeds of up to 13 km / h, and even more. However, high speed was undesirable, since in the conditions of the moon the lunomobile weighed 6 times less than on the ground, and at high speed it was thrown up strongly on irregularities.
30. The relatively weak gravity was the reason that a lot of moon dust was raised when walking, which settled on clothes. Note the dust-black legs of the astronaut.
31. Expedition "Apollo 16" - April 21, 1972. Fifth moon landing| Unlike previous landings, which took place on more or less flat surfaces, Apollo 16 landed in a mountainous area, on a plateau.
32. Morning run?))
33. Astronauts are clearly at home on the moon. Lunomobile parked near the lander, scientific equipment, working astronaut. There is no longer the wariness and uncertainty that are visible in the photographs of Apollo 11.
34. Some of the astronauts have stained the lens.
35. A beautiful shot of the Earth hanging in space. We humans live somewhere on this planet. We are born, we die, we create something, we are at war for some reason ... How petty and insignificant it all seems from afar, from space.
36. The surface of the moon when approaching the lunar module.
37. Expedition "Apollo 17" - December 11, 1972. Sixth and final moon landing| Thanks to the lunar car, astronauts were able to move away from the lander for several kilometers, and descend to the bottom of huge craters.
38. During the next landing in the lunomobile, the commander of the crew, Eugene Cernan, hooked a wing sticking out of his pocket with a hammer over one of the wheels and tore it off. If on Earth such a breakdown is not considered serious, then on the Moon everything is different. Due to the lack of a wing, dust rose during the movement, which settled on the clothes of the astronauts and on the instruments of the lunomobile. The black color of the dust attracted heat and posed the threat of overheating. The astronauts had to urgently look for a way out of the situation. They managed to attach the wing with duct tape.
39. Collection of soil samples. The astronaut's clothes are stained with moon dust.
40. Lunomobile against the background of one of the mountains.
41. Lunar relief.
42. Return of the last lunar expedition. Dawn on Earth.
43. Huge ocean spaces. Eh, if only part of these spaces were dry land.
44. Our native blue ball.
46. Relief surface of the Moon and the rising Earth.
48. Astronauts who visited the moon were the only people who could look at lunar craters without a telescope.
49. During the Apollo 17 expedition, astronauts drilled 8 wells 2.5 meters deep. Explosives weighing from 50 grams to 2.5 kg were laid in the holes. After the astronauts left the moon, on command from the Earth, explosives were detonated and scientists used instruments to measure the speed of propagation of seismic waves.
50. On the way home, astronaut Ronald Evans performs a routine inspection of his ship.
52. Crew Commander Eugene Cernan and astronaut Ronald Evans.
53. What kind of device is so unusual? Looks like someone's brain under glass.
54. Ronald Evans shaves on his way to Earth.
55. Command and service module America is awaiting docking with the lunar module, which was last launched from the lunar surface. The Apollo 17 mission became the longest manned mission to the Moon. A record number of lunar rock samples have been delivered to Earth. Records were set for the duration of astronauts' stay on the lunar surface and in circumlunar orbit. Apollo 17 was the most productive and nearly hassle-free lunar mission ever.
56. More than 40 years have passed since the day when man last walked on the moon. Will people return to the moon again? And is there any sense at all to fly to the moon again, if it is now known for certain that there is nothing of value there?
57. The Apollo lunar program is completed. The last look at the mountain range on the surface of the Moon, which rises above the Earth every night and illuminates our fields with its white light, reflects a light path in our seas, and shines through our windows while we sleep.

A 2013 humanoid was photographed in Bulgaria. A group of young travelers insist that they have photographed an extraterrestrial creature in a dense forest near Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The group hike to Yundola and when they passed through the meadow between the Rila and Rhodope mountain ranges, one of the tourists took a photo of the creature before it disappeared.

Unidentified object photographed on Mars. These images were taken by the American Mars Exploration Rover Spirit in the predawn hours with navigation and panoramic cameras. The unidentified object looks like a strip, because the shutter speed was 15 seconds and during this time the object flew by 4 degrees. As recognized by NASA, this object could not be some kind of ship from Earth, and for a meteorite, an unidentified object was moving too slowly. The very official name of the NASA image: "It" s a Bird, It "s a Plane, It" s a ... Spacecraft? "I think it does not need translation. ID: PIA05557 Photo: NASA / JPL / Cornell

On April 17, 2002, the International Space Station was photographed from the space shuttle Atlantis in a big shot (see the original in full size), but apart from the ISS, a UFO in the background got into the frame. The first photo is an enlargement of the UFO and showing where it is, the second photo is the original by NASA. Photo #: STS110-E-5912 Photo: NASA
He seemed to have specially posed for the astronauts (the pictures show how the UFO is turning in different directions to the shuttle), but most likely he was making maneuvers and in the last sixth frame you can see that he turned to Earth and turned on the engines. These photos, like many others, were classified, but one of the employees of the space center. Johnson, who has access to the classified files, published them on social networks, and remained undisclosed. In January 2013, NASA removed both photographs and numbers from their archives.

UFO in near-earth space!
Astronaut Pierce J. Sellers, Specialist for STS-121, participates in the second session of the EVA mission. Astronaut Michael E. Fossum (outside this frame) is working with him. The duration of the spacewalk lasted 6 hours and 47 minutes, and all this time they were photographed and filmed from the windows of the International Space Station by astronauts of Expedition 13 to the ISS and astronauts of 121 missions under the shuttle flight program. This photo was taken by one of the astronauts of the shuttle Discovery and some of the frames got a real UFO flying to Earth. The first photo is original by NASA, and the second is a maximally enlarged UFO. See both photos. Researcher UFO Photo #: S121-E-06224 (July 10, 2006) Photo: NASA
This is an image with an unidentified moving (moving) object actually representing a certain aggregate or lunar rover, clearly not of human production, because its dimensions are several tens of meters, both in length and in width. Also, even without magnification, deep traces left by a moving (moving) unidentified object are clearly visible. Recently, the Schröter Valley was officially renamed the "Secrets of the Schroeter Valley". Nevertheless, modern science and scientists began to look at the world differently. So, in this valley, some structures and structures were discovered that absolutely do not fall under the category of geological formations. They also found straight tunnels (pipes) stretching along the surface of the Moon, which run in a straight line regardless of the terrain, i.e. be it a hill, any height, a hill, a crater. Ideally even entrances (exits) under the surface of the Moon were also discovered, which have hemispherical shapes and with the development of lunar soil near these entrances. I will publish them over time. So. Now scientific evidence: The Schroeter Valley is named after the German astronomer Johann Schroeter (1745-1816); officially named in 1961 (now called: Secrets of the Schroeter Valley); In general, the crater was first named after him, and in accordance with the accepted rules, the valleys are named after the nearest geological structures - craters or mountains. Secrets of the Schroeter Valley on the Moon: Alien Lunar rover Now about the image: Date of capture May 27, 2010 Time: 21:41:05 Orbital altitude: 4238 meters Longitude: 307.37 ° Center Latitude: 25.01 ° Resolution: 0.60 m at pixel.

Unidentified object from Apollo 11 July 17, 1969 This photograph was taken from Apollo 11 when astronauts: Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin flew from Earth to the Moon for the first landing on its surface. It's hard to say what it is, but they watched it with their own eyes. Maybe it's a UFO shrouded in some kind of energy protection, or maybe it's some kind of plasma (possibly alive). So, the first photo reflects the reality that the astronauts saw, only it was digitized by NASA for a long time, and it conscientiously and qualitatively does not differ from the original color image, which must be given credit to these people. The second is an increase in an unidentified object or phenomenon in a different spectrum, in order to look in a different light. The third is also a digitized photograph, only NASA retouched the object, which is very clearly visible in full size (since the screens are different, you can lighten the image. I can see very well that the object is "blurred") and changed the color gamut of the Earth, as well as the poor quality digitization when viewed in full size, which is very clearly seen when comparing 1 and 3 photos. So, a real photo with an unidentified object relatively recently NASA removed and hung out the one without an object in space, i.e. I have it third. The first one I recommend to watch in full size is Beauty and UFOs! Researcher UFO Photo: NASA

The panorama was taken in near lunar orbit during the Apollo 16 mission in April 1972 (this is the first photo). In this panorama, in addition to the lunar landscape, a gigantic structure was filmed, which throws into the surrounding space one gigantic and many smaller ones, something similar to electricity or lightning. The large image (6.6 GB) shows the structures of these emissions, and also that one end of this structure, which is illuminated by sunlight, goes into the lunar surface. The second photo is this power plant in the center and the third photo is enlarged. See all three photos! UFO Researcher Photo #: AS16-P-4095 Apollo 16 April 21, 1972 Photo: NASA
This is one of the photos taken during NASA's STS-100 space shuttle mission. In this case, the space shuttle Endeavor was carrying out its mission in orbit. This photograph was taken by one of the astronauts as they walked into outer space, namely from the airlock. This mission took place in April 2001, and for more than 12 years, neither astronauts themselves, nor NASA employees, nor lovers of photographs from space have noticed a UFO flotilla of five objects in this photo. Three days ago, one of the American ufologists posted on YouTube this photo and various magnifications and other specials. effects. I decided to follow him and went to the public archives of NASA and also downloaded this photo. She is the first here, the second is also her, only I put an arrow indicating the location of objects, and the third and fourth are different magnifications.

Astronaut Jean-Pierre Haignere, the first to fly from ESA and spent six months onboard the Russian space station MIR as an onboard engineer, photographed this real UFO. First published by Stephen Hannard on June 10, 2013.
A dilapidated structure on the Moon This structure is only a small part of the structures and structures on the Moon! Almost all researchers believe that this, and many other structures on the Moon, are the work of our previous civilization, other human civilizations, and not aliens and aliens. Humanity is about a million years old and believe me with stones and axes, they did not run all the time. This was possible when civilizations perished. And the real alien bases are Really on the Moon, or more precisely, under the surface of the Moon. This is reliable information from contactees who were actually taken to the moon. There are footage not only from American missions, but also from China's recent missions to the moon. So there is already more abruptly this structure and it is safe and sound. There are also structures more than five kilometers long. In general, many different buildings and structures have already been discovered, and only about a very small part can we say that this is not the work of people. Albeit ancient civilizations.
