Original Note:
The moon is not permanently light dark on the far side, however, why it's called the ‘dark side’ is in fact because it is ‘radio dark’ from radio waves emanating from Earth. Apollo astronauts referred to the dark side of the moon as they went around the moon they’d lose comms. https://www.nasa.gov/solar-system/lunar-crater-radio-telescope-illuminating-the-cosmic-dark-ages/
