Moon Does Rotate, Reveals NASA Latest Video

NASA has made a rotating moon's video that was recorded in pieces in a span of more than four years.

According to NASA's Lunar Geologist Noah Petro, the video reveals a full moon surface and it looks alluring. For the first time, a video of rotating moon has been compiled by the NASA.

A number of pictures clicked by the integrated camera of Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter during solar illumination have put together to make this video. It includes surface of the moon.

"Let's imagine the sun is directly overhead the entire moon, for every point on the lunar surface, how bright would it be, if the sun were directly overhead?," told Petro while talking to the Daily News.

Until now, only one surface of moon was clicked always, but this LRO camera could take pictures of different surfaces, while the moon was spinning on its own axis.

The video revealed that no surface of the moon is dark, except its craters that don't get exposed to sunlight ever.

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has been revolving around moon for the last four years, since its launch in June 2009. It collects and sends all the data and information, which might attract humans on moon for advanced scientific study on solar system.
