| ARTICLES RELATED TO Moon - Earth & Moon | | | |  Moon - Earth & Moon: Encyclopedia II - Moon - The two sidesThe far side is sometimes called the "dark side". In this case "dark" means "unknown and hidden" and not "lacking light" as implied by the name; in fact the far side receives (on average) as much sunlight as the near side, but at opposite times. Spacecraft are cut off from direct radio communication with the Earth when on the far side of the Moon.
One distinguishing feature of the far side is its almost complete lack of maria (singular: mare ...

| | | | | Moon - Earth & Moon: Encyclopedia II - Moon - Legal status Though several flags of the Soviet Union and the United States have been symbolically planted on the moon, the Russian and U.S. governments make no claims to any part of the Moon's surface. Russia and the U.S. are party to the Outer Space Treaty, which places the Moon under the same jurisdiction as international waters (res communis). This treaty also restricts use of the Moon to peaceful purposes, explicitly banning weapons of mass destruction (including nuclear weapons) and military installations of any kind. A second treaty, the Moon Trea ...

| | | | | Moon - Earth & Moon: Encyclopedia II - Moon - Origin and history The inclination of the Moon's orbit makes it implausible that the Moon formed along with the Earth or was captured later; its origin is the subject of some scientific debate.
Early speculation proposed that the Moon broke off from the Earth's crust due to centrifugal force, leaving an ocean basin (presumed to be the Pacific) behind as a scar. This concept requires too great an initial spin of the Earth and the presumption of a Pacific origin is not compatible with the geological standard model, the theory of plate tectonics. Others sp ...
