China's Chang'e-6 mission has revealed that the moon's far-side mantle is about 100°C colder than the near side, based on analysis of 2.8-billion-year-old basalt samples. The finding, published in Nature Geoscience, provides the first physical evidence confirming long-standing theories about hemispheric differences on the moon and opens new pathways for understanding lunar evolution.

The moon is so bright it is generating .21V on one of my solar panels! #moon
Here's full frame on a Canon 70-200mm zoom (L-series, USM 1:4).
Here's the 200mm cropped to just the moon. F4.0 1/1250 ISO 100 (because the moon is reflecting daylight, it's a day exposure). #moon
