We&#8217;re all familiar with the full moon, half moon and far side of the moon, but here&#8217;s one view of our natural satellite that you won&#8217;t have seen before - its north pole. This image was stitched together from 983 photos taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) over the course of one month. One of the LROC&#8217;s objectives is to discover moon regions of permanent shadow that never see sunlight at all. Dark areas in this image are possible candidates. (via New Scientist) High-res
