Thanks.I was gonna say....solar eclipse (as a stark contrast to the idea that there is literally a dark side of the moon that never sees light) for $500, Alex. But ya sort of beat me to da punch.

Thank **** someone finally said it. I was beginning to despair.
The "dark side" and the "far side" are two different entities, there is a spot in the Southern Hemisphere, iirc, where sunlight never touches, aka The Dark Side of The Moon. The Far Side is often mistakingly labeld The Dark Side.
I watched a show on the Moon.
That's not a dark 'side', Robtard. How the heck is that meant to be a 'side'? That's ridiculous. At best it is a tiny irrelevant dark spot. Furthermore, you were clearly using it in the sense that people use when they mean 'far side'.
No point wriggling out of this. You used the wrong term, it happens. It's been put right.
You see, I tried to be civil, but your gigantic childish ego has you flinging insults.
I specifically mentioned "spot" when I was talking to 'Hewhoknowsall':

From Wiki on the Moon, as I don't remember or have access to the show I watched: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_side_of_the_Moon
"Tidal forces between Earth and the Moon have slowed the moon's rotation so that the same side is always facing the Earth. The other face, which is never visible from the Earth in its entirety (18% of it can be seen under some conditions), is therefore called the "far side of the Moon". The far side should not be confused with the "dark side" (the hemisphere that is not illuminated by the Sun at a given point in time), as the two are the same only during a full moon. Both the near and far sides receive (on average) almost equal amounts of light from the Sun. However, the term "dark side of the moon" is used commonly to refer to the far side.[1] The far side of the moon actually gets fractionally more direct sun light than the near side, due to the fact that it is never subject to a terrestrial eclipse. However, because of earthshine (reflected sunlight from the earth back to the moon) the total illumination on the near side is slightly greater than the far side"
Me poitning out that your use of the term 'Dark Side' was wrong is nothing to do with ego, Robtard. Your own humiliating attempts to get out from that do betray yours.
Your quote is utterly irrelevant,. As everyone can see you used the term 'Dark Side' more than once in this thread, erroneously where you should have said 'far side'. It is in your first post in this thread, for everyone to read. And you are trying to pretend that you did not make this mistake? Have you lost your mind? Everyone can see it!
Secondly what you just said from wiki... is ALSO irrelevant. It backs what I said, and again makes clear that there is no dark side, just one small, dark area that isn't even a fraction of a side. So you trying to say that the tiny area you refer to is also called the Dark Side, as you just did in your previous post, is utterly wrong.
You are making a fool of yourself. This is feeble. Just accept you used the wrong term and either back out or move on, but don't make yourself look any sillier trying to defend the clearly indefensible.

Nah, "dark side of the moon" is just an alternate name for "far side of the moon". Apparently astronomers can't see the difference between Pink Floyd and Gary Larson.
Robtard... is there something wrong with you? What you posted above from wiki... does not say that. I cannot put it any more clear than this.
You may as well be saying the Moon is made of cheese. There is no spot referred to as the dark side as you say, Robtard. But you have lost perspective so totally you cannot see that. It's rather depressing.
Every time you say thetre there is this spot called the dark side... you are either mis-informed or lying. You are unsupported, unscientific and utterly wrong. And all you can do is post quotes from articles that say I am right.

"The far side should not be confused with the "dark side" (the hemisphere that is not illuminated by the Sun at a given point in time" -wiki
Yes, hence there being no such thing as the dark side of the moon. It does not exist.
Perhaps you should consider what the word 'side' means in relation to planets.
As I say, it's irrelevant anyway. You were cleasrly using ';dark side' in this thread where you meant ''far side'. It is so amazingly clear that you did that that I am amazed you are still dragging this on, looking more foolish with every post.

Erm, that doesn't refer to a magical "spot" that is the "real" dark side because it is always dark there. In fact wiki specifically contradicts that notion.

Despite me specifically saying to Hewhoknowsall "on that spot", yeah.
You weren't aware of this lunar spot (and the conspiracy of it), so now your ego runs rampant.

What on earth is wrong with you? 'Dark Side' in that sense just means the part of the moon that is at night. There isn't a specific 'dark side', just a side that happens to be in darkness at any particular moment.
Which, as your original comic reference was to a fixed point is clearly nto what you meant either.
You have completely lost all connection with any logic or sense.

Long after you said 'dark side', clearly in the sense of 'far side.'
You saying this is my ego when I am simply using supported facts to put down your ridicuous claims is outright trolling. Stop that now.
I hasten to add, btw, that you've not actually provided one tiny piece of evidence for this spot existing, nor any evidence that it is called the Dark Side, as you claimed, falsely, earlier.
You are just and simply in the wrong. You had better accept it, because if you cannot accept that after you clearly post misinformation and contiue to get angry about ti and argur about it when called out, you are going to run into very serious trouble.
