There is no dark side. I'm not quoting Pink Floyd, I'm being literal. The same face always faces Earth () but it is still rotates relative to the Sun, and is always 50% covered in daylight, and (other than near the poles) always has sunrises and sunsets just like on Earth. It isn't always dark on the far side of the moon, but apparently The Mirror can't wrap their collective head around that concept. Nor can most of their readers.
the mercury can plummet to blood-freezing lows of -183C at night.
God, basic science is beyond most people's grasp.
