Sobering to think of the few people who have seen that side ....
Nice little ping there, Mr. Civilizations. Thank you.
My first thought was that it is far different from the side that faces Earth.
It is an interesting theory that the far side has a thicker crust which minimizes eruptions
and prevents large, smooth maria.
Perhaps the outward-facing side would also get more hits from wandering space rocks.
It certainly looks more pock marked than the Giant Rabbit/Man in the Moon side.
