DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Even though the photos are intersting, you don't see any moon features you
wouldn't see at full moon. The same side of the moon faces the earth
throughout the lunar cycle.

There is no dark side of the moon. It rotates on its axis once a
month, ht e same time it takes to go around the earth in its orbit.
Therefore we only see one side of the moon, but all sides of it get
sunlight.

The mystery doesn't lie in the "dark" side of the moon...rather...the *far*
side of the moon. -The side we never see.

Actually there's always a dark side of the moon. It just changes constantly.

Almost. The moon wobbles a bit, so over a month's time, you see about 55% of
the moon.
