FYI - "dark side of the moon" refers to the far side of the moon (that never faces Earth). Dark here has the same meaning as in dark energy: "unknown."

I have no answer to your actual question, but would also be interested.

I know that is also true but... Is there another way to describe the side that isn't currently facing the sun? 🤔
