Today TV in my country laughs about that old guy from NASA saying there is a dark side of the moon and NASA does not have interest in the “dark” side of the moon.
sad to say your no1 space guys dont have interest. worse to say the side of the moon is dark. there is no side of the moon that is constantly dark.
everyone is still laughing. did Boeing teach him that?
In this case it does mean the absence of light tho.
It really doesn’t. It’s similar to us calling the middle ages the dark ages. It wasn’t because of lack of light but because of lack of knowledge.
