I find it hard to believe that Popular Science would make such a mistake, but the author has reinforced the mistake by starting the article with "The dark side of the moon, despite its name, is a perfect vantage point for observing the universe."

But all the quotes from scientists correctly say "far side of the moon".

I know this isn't really "science news" but I couldn't find any other community to share this.

There is no dark side in the moon, really

Matter of fact, it's all dark

Pink Floyd's less well received album, The Inside of the Moon, about space conspiracy theories and the mega structures.

The Dyson Sphere was the follow-up, but it never released.
