The light we see is a lie.
For centuries, humanity gazed at the moon—a silver coin in the ink-black sky, a muse for poets, a clock for lovers. But no one spoke of what clung to its reverse face. No telescope could pierce that permanent, frozen night. Until the Ark crashed there. Transformers 3- El Lado Oscuro De La Luna
