EXTRAORDINARY!!!!

Thanks for posting this, Uncle Joe!!!

I read it on the internet, so I know it's true!11!1

I forget which side that's on?

The Moon is tidally locked to the earth, meaning that it only ever presents the same face towards the Earth. The other side is not dark, but is only always facing away from the Earth. But that does not mean that the Moon always presents one face to the Sun. In fact, as one can clearly see in the Lunar phases, the Moon experiences day and night just like the Earth, including the far side. Because of tidal locking, the Moon's day is the same as its period of revolution around the Earth, about 28 days. So the far side experiences a day/night cycle. There is no dark side.

I don't know where the "dark side" meme got started, but it is clearly wrong.

Sorry for the pedantry.

"sa matter of fact, its all dark."

not the lit side from earth's perspective.

It was an artistic play on our perception of reality.

And some still bash science.

Thanks for posting, Joe.

It's good to see you again.

Butt there is a backside....
