In the late 70s my school had a moon globe which was blank on the 'far side' because it was made before anyone had photographed it.

Must have been an old globe, 20 years maybe or older. What happened to it?

[@TheTriumfAnt]

@@Emdee5632 A lot of stuff in that school was old and outdated. The moon was probably one of the more recent purchases :)

The title of this video is misleading it says {the mysterious far side of the moon} but it doesn't even mention the far side of the moon until the very ending. And even then it's just a brief Statement. Thumbs down!
