Eli5 – what is the dark side of moon?

270 views

I understand that moon is tidally locked to the earth and we never see the other side (side facing away from earth). I suppose that’s called far side, but is it also the dark side? Also is there any overlap between dark side and the lunar poles?

They mean the same thing. “Dark” in this case means “unknown”, but sometimes it gets misunderstood as literally dark.
