Dark Side of the Moon

The "Dark Side of the Moon" refers to the far side of the Moon that remains hidden from Earth's view due to tidal locking. It's not permanently dark; it experiences night and day, just like the near side. The term gained popular meaning from Pink Floyd's album, symbolizing mystery and unseen aspects of the universe. Scientifically, the far side is less explored but plays a crucial role in lunar science, as it features unique geological formations and serves as a natural shield from Earth-based radio interference.
