Heavily cratered compared to the near side.

Yes, the other side of the moon is not always dark. It experiences day and night just like the side of the moon facing Earth. The term "dark side of the moon" refers to the side that is not visible from Earth, not to the side that is always in darkness.
The dark side of the moon much like pink. Floyd sings about
cuz you have to be in like china to see the other side ;-)
The right side of a waxing moon is illuminated when seen from the north pole. This is because the moon's light is coming from the sun towards the moon from the right side.
The Other Side of the Moon - anthology - was created in 1949.
The Other Side of the Moon - anthology - has 416 pages.
The Other Side of the Moon - album - was created on 1999-01-05.
The illuminated side of the moon is in excess of 250 degrees hotter than the other side. Only part of the moon faces the sun, which is the part I described as illuminated. The sun heats up the side that faces it and the moon does not have the protection of an Earth-like atmosphere.
No, the other side of the Moon has been extensively photographed and no suggestion of the presence of aliens have been seen.
A half moon appears as a semi-circle shape in the sky, with one side visible illuminated by the sunlight while the other side remains dark. It is the phase of the moon when it is halfway between a new moon and a full moon.
The Moon always presents the same side of itself to Earth, thus nobody had seen the other side of the Moon (i.e. the other half) until a rocket orbited the Moon.
That is because you are looking at the moon from only one side, and the moon does not rotate, so therefor, we don't see the dark side of the moon.
