Did you hear the news? For the first time ever, scientists successfully landed a lander (Chang'e 4) and a rover (Yutu 2) on the far side of the moon!!
The “dark side” of the moon is a misnomer. It gets light, but since the moon is tidally locked we never get to see its far side. But I still like to think of it as it’s “dark” side ;)
You can read more about this mission and watch some really cool footage taken from the lander here: http://www.astronomy.com/news/2019/01/change-4-sends-another-trove-of-images-from-the-moons-far-side
