The Dark Side of the Moon, eh? Anyone told Gilmour et al, yet?

Hello Dahak.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

You realize, of course, that the moon has no permanently dark side. The dark side of the moon is like the dark side of the earth, only in temporary darkness.

The moon's rotational period is tidally locked to its orbital period, so that, on average, it keeps the same side (the near side) facing the earth. During a lunar month, the moon experiences one day.
