Half the moon is 'dark' at any one time. Every point on the moon is illuminated for roughly 50% of the time, as the first answer said. So there IS a dark side of the moon :). And it is very dark, so that stars can be seen more clearly than anywhere on earth.

There is no "dark side of the moon". The far side gets just as much light as the near side.

Every point on the moon is illuminated for roughly 50% of the time, just like every point on earth. However, we can only see about 55% of the Moon's surface, because its rotation matches the revolutions around the Earth.
