There technically is no dark side of the moon. It's just the part of the moon that we don't see from earth. The more common term is 'far side'. We never see the 'far side' of the moon because the face of the moon that we see is always oriented toward earth. As the moon goes through its monthly orbit of earth, the moon is also slowly turning on its axis in such a way that one orbit is on average exactly the same length of time as one rotation. The same side always faces earth.
