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.

What part of the moon do earthlings see?

Humans inhabiting Earth never see the dark side of the moon.

Therefore, humans will never see the dark side of the moon.


What is the name of the side of the moon that we don't see the dark side?
