the Luna 3
Hubble cannot observe objects smaller than a basketball on the moon or detect dark matter directly.
When you observe the moon from Earth you see the side that is illuminated by the sun, whereas if you observe it from space you see the opposite side, which does not receive any light from the sun.
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.
From Earth, we primarily see the near side of the Moon, which is the hemisphere that faces our planet. This side is characterized by its dark basaltic plains, known as maria, along with numerous craters and highlands. The far side of the Moon, which remains hidden from view, was first observed by humans in 1959 when the Soviet spacecraft Luna 3 captured images of it.

The first manned crew to spend Christmas in space was during the Apollo 8 mission. They were the first humans to see the dark side of the moon.

All sides are lit up. Only one side at a time. There is a term called the dark side of the moon. This term relates to the fact that the moon doesnt spin on its axis like the earth does and one side faces the earth all of the time. The dark side refers not to the abscence of light but radio waves. During the Apollo missions to the moon, as a spacecraft went behind the moon (in relation to the earth) It went into whats called a radio blackout. It was called the dark side because up until the first spacecraft orbited the moon, it had never been seen by man before.
Spacecraft are fueled by hydrogen and oxygen. A hydrogen flame emits little light and is difficult to see except when it is dark. The surface of the moon is quite bright when the sun is out.

You often CAN see the "dark side of the Moon". It's easiest to do around the first quarter Moon or a day or two before that. The Sun shining on the Moon causes the Moon to reflect light, and we call this "moonlight". But if you were on the Moon and looking at the Earth, you could see the Earth by reflected sunlight, which we would call "earthlight". When we look at the first quarter Moon, we can often see the dark side of the Moon illuminated very slightly by reflected earthlight!

At the moments of First Quarter and Third Quarter, the half-disk that you see is 50% of the "light side" ... half of the moon's illuminated surface. The entire moon is still there in the sky. The 'missing' half of the disk is comprised of half of the moon's dark side, which you can't see at that time. Because it's dark !
