Every article published by Lunar Shadow Project undergoes thorough fact-checking and expert review. Our writers consult primary mission data, peer-reviewed research, and subject matter experts to ensure accuracy.
We prioritize clear explanations of complex scientific concepts without sacrificing technical precision. Our goal is to make lunar far side research comprehensible to educated general audiences while providing sufficient depth for specialists.
Articles are written in analytical third-person perspective, avoiding promotional language and sensationalism. Citations are provided for all factual claims, and uncertainties in scientific understanding are explicitly acknowledged.
Areas covered in our publications
Crustal thickness variations, mineral composition, impact crater analysis, and volcanic history of the far side.
Potential for radio telescopes, cosmic dark ages observations, and electromagnetic shielding characteristics.
