    That’s the far side of the moon, not the dark side. The dark side is the side that isn’t facing the sun, and that’s changing constantly.

      Only if you take it literally. Oftentimes people call the far side the dark side (dark as in unseen).

      Although the far side does get a lot darker than the near side during lunar nights, since Earthshine never reaches it.
