Here's why:
* No Atmosphere: The Moon has virtually no atmosphere to protect it from impacts. This means objects from space, like meteors, can strike the Moon's surface without burning up.
* No Bias: The Moon's gravitational pull acts equally on all sides. There's no reason for meteors to favor one side over the other.
* Evidence: We have observed impact craters on the far side of the Moon through spacecraft missions like Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). These craters provide clear evidence of past impacts.
Interesting Fact: Because the far side of the Moon is less visible from Earth, it actually receives more impacts than the near side. This is because the near side is shielded by Earth's gravity, which deflects some incoming objects.
