The hidden side of the moon that NASA is afraid to show

This is an edited comedic image of the full Moon set against a starry space background. The Moon has been digitally altered to add a deep vertical cleft running directly down its center, making the entire spherical Moon visually resemble human buttocks.

Overview

This is an edited comedic image of the full Moon set against a starry space background. The Moon has been digitally altered to add a deep vertical cleft running directly down its center, making the entire spherical Moon visually resemble human buttocks. The meme plays on popular conspiracy tropes that claim NASA hides the true appearance of the Moon's hidden far side from the public, turning the conspiracy premise into a silly, vulgar visual pun.

Origin notes

This meme originates from Reddit, where it circulates as a joke about Moon conspiracy theories that claim NASA conceals secrets on the far side of the Moon. It is a photoshopped edit of a genuine full Moon photograph, created for comedic effect by leaning into the double meaning of the 'hidden side' premise.

This is a visually striking nature photograph captured in the Netherlands. It shows a giant, vivid orange-red setting sun perfectly positioned directly behind a leafless tree, forming a bright circular backdrop that frames the dark, intricate silhouette of the tree's sprawling branches. The foreground consists of dark, misty low-lying vegetation, with a hazy distant treeline visible at the horizon, and a soft dusky pink sky surrounding the sun, creating an almost surreal, incredibly beautiful natural scene.

This satirical meme visualizes the classic flat-Earth conspiracy model, depicting Earth as a thick flat disc floating in starry outer space. A cyan highlighted zoom callout points to the vertical rocky side wall of the disc Earth, zooming in to show two mountain goats standing on this vertical edge. The joke plays on the common flat-Earth conspiracy claim that Earth has a giant wall at its outer edge, and pokes fun at NASA's Artemis moon exploration mission by implying the mission accidentally confirmed the flat-Earth model by finding goats living on the edge wall.

The flat-earthers have finally won. Thank you, Artemis

This humorous meme features an inverted world map where Earth's land and water areas are fully swapped. Regions that appear as oceans on standard world maps are depicted as green and brown landmasses with mountain ranges and polar ice caps, while all normal continental land areas are shown as blue bodies of water. The joke plays on the title 'Fish be like:', imagining that this inverted map is how a fish would visualize the world, as their primary habitat (water) is presented as the inhabitable 'land' area, and actual dry land is treated as unoccupied 'water' on a fish's hypothetical world map.

This is an ironic meme that uses the famous public-domain NASA 'Blue Marble' photograph of planet Earth, centered against a solid black outer space background, showing North and Central America on the planet's surface. The post title is 'Most overrated planet', with the image being Earth itself. The humor comes from the absurd, ironic take: while Earth is the only known habitable planet for humanity, many people joke about it being 'overrated' due to all its problems like climate change, political conflict, and everyday inconveniences.

A two-panel meme comparing the perception of the moon versus its appearance in a photograph. The left panel, labeled 'How I see the moon', displays a large, bright full moon with visible craters, surrounded by stars and wispy clouds against a dark night sky, representing the vivid, large appearance of the moon to the human eye. The right panel, labeled 'When I take a picture', shows a small, dim white dot against a dark background, humorously depicting the common experience of the moon appearing much smaller and less impressive in photos compared to how it looks visually.

The image displays a bright, clear deep blue sky with two types of white clouds: thick, fluffy cumulus clouds at the bottom of the frame, and a wispier, vertically stretched cloud formation above them. This upper cloud formation creates a strong pareidolic illusion, closely resembling a tall, upright humanoid figure with a distinguishable head, broad shoulders, torso, and legs, making it appear as if a giant is standing above the lower cloud layer.
