Photo from Luna-3
https://moon.nasa.gov/resources/26/first-photo-of-the-lunar-farside/ The videos I created are once again rendered with Povray and NASA maps, based on data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). For maximum resolution at Full HD and still a global view, I had to cut off the polar regions. The first video shows the complete central area of the back side in 2D, the lower one is the 3D version, which requires red-blue anaglyph glasses to view.
The back side of the Moon.
On the left the crater Mendeleev, below with a crater at 11 o'clock in the interior Gagarin.
At the top left the well-known Kyjiv Sea.
Differences in altitude are estimated to be exaggerated by a factor of 2.
59 seconds for 29.5 days (equal to one lunar day) means 2 seconds in the video are equivalent to a day on the Moon.
