    Hint:

    Far Side ≠ Dark Side

    It can be confusing because the far side of the Moon is sometimes also referred to as the Dark Side because it is “dark” to us, in the sense that we cannot see it from Earth.

      Yeah, dark in the same meaning as “the dark ages.” It’s referring to a lack of knowledge, not a lack of light. Both these terms have fallen out of favor though.
