  • The Moon's Far Side: Why We Never See It From Earth
    No, we never see the other side of the moon from Earth.

    This is because the Moon is tidally locked to Earth. This means that the same side of the Moon always faces us. This phenomenon is due to the gravitational pull between Earth and the Moon.

    The "dark side" of the Moon isn't actually dark, it just gets less sunlight than the side facing us. It's actually been fully explored by spacecraft, most notably by the Chinese Chang'e 4 mission.
