Farewell, Moon. 👋 #Apollo17 lifted off the lunar surface #OTD in 1972, bringing a successful end to the Apollo program. The astronauts spent nearly 22 hrs outside their lander, drove 22 mi in their rover, & collected 243 lbs of samples during a mission that lasted 12.6 days.

Ever wonder why we always see the same face of the Moon from Earth? 🤔

The Moon rotates exactly once each time it orbits our planet. This arrangement is an example of a special kind of orbital dance called "tidal locking".

Here's how it works: https://go.nasa.gov/3BdKOb9
