Okay, this is Sunday evening, and I have a comment for the astronaut giving notes on the far side of the moon.
You mentioned two key things.
- The shadow where the moon split from sunlight to shadow, “the Terminator,” was extraordinary. You said It made obvious how craggy and dramatic the far side of the lunar surface was. Mountains and valleys and cliffs. Good to know.
- THERE ARE GREEN PATCHES ON THE MOON.
Evidently some parts OF THE MOON are brown, and some are tinged green. So stop rhapsodizing about the Terminator. Tell me more about the green. Lime green or olive green? Green like baby poop? Green like a spring lawn? Green like the Martian flag?
I do not think your priorities were aligned correctly. Hope you took a lot of photos.

I missed seeing images of the far side of the moon – will have to investigate. I only have a few moments so I will just say that this space mission is fascinating to me, a non-scientist.
CHM – I think they’re just starting to trickle out. There was one where they commented on the brown tone. Keeping a tight lid on the green images.
