Yes.
The Moon orbits the Earth in 28 days, so Earth is rotating much faster than the Moon is moving. Thus, during full Moon, the dark side of the Earth sees the Moon all night and that dark side reverses hemispheres in 12 hours.

No, they’ll see the forbidden dark side of the moon, once the earth revolves around it to the backside. /sarc

"If we see a full moon tonight, will there be a full moon on the other side of the worldt?" No. Since when we see a full moon at night its Daylight on the other side of the worldt....

This only happens once in a blue moon, not to be confused with a RC cola and a moon pie.

The answer used to be yes, but Global Warming changed all of that.

Should the planet’s name be changed to Urectum? Well the group of scientist that voted to declare Pluto no longer a planet will have to vote on that.
Probably a 10 year government funded study will be needed ;^)
To: rawhide
Yes indeedy.
The phase will be reversed depending on the hemisphere you are in (North or South). A full moon in the Northern Hemisphere will have the Tycho crater in the lower left. A full moon in the Southern Hemiphere will have the Tycho crater in the upper right.
See Black Cat Systems Moon Phase Calendar for more information.

Full moon each month occurs at an instant in time. If it’s night where you are, then you may see it.
If it is not night at that time, then you will not. BUT - by the next time it comes around to you, it will certainly appear as full.
Some web site says this month’s full moon is
2010 Oct 23 01:38 Sat (GMT)
one thirty-eight a.m. in England.

I have a Koozie that says,

I don’t know about that, but I still wonder about turning on your headlights while driving at light speed. Does anything happen?

The correct answer is “ NO”. A full moon is an instantaneous event.

It only does impulse speed in reverse.

There is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact it's all dark. The Earth doesn't revolve around the moon, either. Hence, the sarc tag.
