From year to year, the moon never seems to change. Craters and other formations appear to be permanent now, but the moon didnt always look like this.
Celebrating NASAs Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiters 1000th day in moon orbit, a new animation has been released depicting 4.5 billion years of lunar evolution.
This amazing video comes from the great people at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center.
Although the moon has remained largely unchanged during human history, our understanding of it and how it has evolved over time has evolved dramatically.
