Cool article and photo, but if this sounds familiar, it’s because it’s 9 years old.

Neatly showing off how our moon is exceptionally dull. Here we are, the only dot in the sunbeam that’s not black or white, and our sole natural satellite is this flat dark powder-gray.

And it’s tide-locked! We don’t even get to see all of it. Imagine if Mars had its twin enormous boulders, and they always looked like cardboard cut-outs. Thank goodness for all this water and life and crap, or we’d be a C-tier heavenly body.

I zoomed in… Where’s the Nazi base that one documentary told us about?

You know… Wolfenstein 2

The moon is hollow and the Nazis are on the inside, duh.

Better than AI on the inside I suppose

Everytime I see this, I can’t help but giggle a little at that magnificent lump, just florpin’ on by, awkward as hell. I love our moon, so much.
