Nope! We always see the same side of the moon, even if it is a full moon.

A new moon is when there is little of the moon visible, except possibly a thin crescent. A full moon is when all of the moon is visible.
Each month the moon goes through phases from new moon to full moon. The last visible slice before a new moon is called a waning crescent.
We only see one part of the surface, at any time the moons faces occur.

During a full lunar eclipse, the visible half of the moon's surface is in the Earth's shadow while the rest does not receive sunlight because it is facing away from the Sun. Lunar eclipses occur during full moon phases.

There is usually 1 full moon in a month, making 12 full moons in a year. But it can also be different because our calendar is not always correct for when they will come!
