On the back of the moon, is it true in encyclopedia?

Rumors:

The United States has not released the photos of the back of the moon, which is a conspiracy of Americans, because Americans found aliens on the back of the moon and wanted to hide this secret.

Rumors:

During the long-term evolution of the Earth-Moon system, the tidal force between the Earth and the Moon gradually slowed down the rotation of the Moon, which eventually led to the tidal locking of the Earth. Since then, the moon has been facing the earth on the same plane. The other side of the moon can never be seen from the earth, which is called the back of the moon. Until the end of 1950s, people still knew little about the back of the moon. Due to people's strong curiosity about the back of the moon, there are all kinds of whimsy about the back of the moon. One idea is that "advanced aliens have set up a base on the back of the moon to monitor the earth".

1959, mankind finally got the first image of the back of the moon, which unveiled the mystery of the back of the moon. But it was not the United States that got the first photo, but the Soviet Union. 1 959101On October 7th, the lunar probe 3 launched by the Soviet Union flew over the moon and sent back the first image of the back of the moon (see figure1). Although this image is blurred, it can still be seen that the back of the moon is mainly gray, which is very desolate and there are no aliens, let alone the established base.

In the nearly 60 years since Chang 'e III, the United States, the Soviet Union, Japan, China and India have carried out more than 1 10 lunar exploration activities, of which nearly 70 were successful or partially successful, and 14 lunar exploration missions (see table 1) successfully obtained the image data of the back of the moon.

In the 2 1 century, with the continuous progress and development of detection technology and means, more and more advanced lunar probes flew to the moon and obtained more clear and comprehensive data on the back of the moon. 1994 Clementine lunar orbit exploration mission launched by the United States obtained multi-band image data covering 95% of the entire lunar surface, with an image resolution of 100m (Figure 3); In 2007, Japan carried out the mission of exploring the goddess of the moon, and photographed the surface of the moon with two cameras, and obtained 92.4% of the image data covering the entire surface of the moon, with a resolution of about 10 meter. In 2007, Chang 'e-1 in China, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in the United States in 2009, and Chang 'e-2 in China all achieved full-month coverage 100% of the image data, and the highest resolutions of the full-month image maps were 120m, 100m and 7m respectively. These data are open to the public and can be downloaded from the national data website.

Especially on October 3rd, 2065438+0965438+/KLOC-0, the Chang 'e-4 lander successfully landed in the Von Kamen Pit on the back of the moon, which is the first probe in China and even in the world to make a soft landing and patrol survey on the back of the moon. The landform camera carried by the Chang 'e-4 lander and the panorama camera carried by the Yutu-2 lunar rover have obtained a wealth of image data on the back of the moon (Figure 4-5), which greatly enriched human understanding of the topography and geological characteristics of the back of the moon.
