Crater Chaos on the Dark Side of the Moon

 

Photographer: Jayce Bischoff

This photo was taken last winter on a cold night to reduce atmospheric shimmering, which is why it's so clear. Many of these craters are usually not seen because they are on the "dark side" of the moon that isn't seen by us. There are many more craters on the opposing side of the moon because it isn't as protected from impacts.
