Did you hear the news? For the first time ever, scientists successfully landed a lander (Chang'e 4) and a rover (Yutu 2) on the far side of the moon!!
The “dark side” of the moon is a misnomer. It gets light, but since the moon is tidally locked we never get to see its far side. But I still like to think of it as it’s “dark” side ;)
