You probably mean the far side, not the dark side:There is no "dark side of the moon". Every point on the moon is illuminated for roughly 50% of the time, just like every point on earth. So sometimes the far side is light, and sometimes it's dark. Just like the near side.None of the Apollo missions landed or traveled to the far side of the moon ... the side that's invisible from earth ... mainly because they could not have communicated with earth by radio from there.

Yes, photos of the dark side of the moon have been captured by spacecraft like NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The dark side of the moon is not permanently dark, as it receives sunlight just like the near side, but we cannot see it from Earth due to its synchronous rotation with our planet.

Why is one side of the moon called the dark side of the moon-?
The "dark" side of the Moon is not a side that's permanently dark, but simply the side - about one half of the Moon - that we can never see from Earth. It's better to call it the "far side" of the Moon. Why the far side is sometimes called the "dark side" is probably just a misunderstanding. Also, it may be to do with the idea that the far side is more "mysterious". Each place on the Moon receives sunlight during the course of a month, as the Moon goes through its phases.

Why is there always a dark side of the moon?
The phenomenon of the "dark side of the moon" is not due to the moon being dark, but rather to the fact that the same side of the moon always faces the Earth. This is because the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit period, a phenomenon known as synchronous rotation. The far side of the moon is not always dark but is simply hidden from view from Earth.
What are the dark and light parts of the moon are called?
