I hasted 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.

Says you. No evidence provided.You also said that spot is called the dark side. A lie.
Still humiliating yourself here. As SC said, your own wiki link contradicts your own claims.
Now you call me a troll. Next step, tell me to drop it or you'll ban me.
As I said, I don't remember the name of the show I watched or have access to it. Doing a Google search:

" LCROSS also will increase knowledge of the mineralogical makeup of some of the remote polar craters that sunlight never reaches"
There are three massive craters in this area, iirc. They're completely dark, without sun, year round. So this spot exist. You didn't know, no worries; now you do.
Craters? Craters where sun does not reach? That's like talking about caves where sun does not reach!
And you specifically said this spot was called 'the dark side', which is an outright fabrication.
There are craters on Earth that can block sunlight. Does that give the Earth a dark side?
Again:
There is no such thing as the dark side of the moon. There's just a far side. The moon follows a standard day/night rotation. Half of it is dark at any one moment, half of it is light.

Like I said, you weren't aware of this area of the moon and you weren't aware that this area is referred to as "The Dark Side", which people often confuse with the "Far Side."
Wait... Robtard, are you seriously having a brain seizure today?
One newspaper headline uses 'dark side'- when they MEANT to say 'far side'- and you think that changes anything? They got it wrong, you... sadly misled being. They were rferring to that entire side of the Moon with the wrong terminology, not any one specific point. The specific point happens to be IN the part that people in error, like that paper, call the dark side.
That means nothing! No-one calls one spot of craters 'the dark side'. No-one of any significance at all. It's not a 'side' of anything. It is a bunch of craters!
Did you seriously think that was evidence to back your position?

The Mumbai Mirror does not have titles written by professional astronomers.
Like I say, that wasn't even what they did. They were just using 'dark side' where they meant 'far side' as they were talking about that side of the moon.
The link doesn't even mention a place of darkness- only a place of coldness. It says the sun there is remote, not that it doesn't shine in them. Not that it is impossible to have craters which block the sun to parts of somewhere, especially at the poles. That does not even remotely a 'dark side' make.
Robtard has read this entirely wrong.
Like I say- you may as well say that the moon is made of cheese.
Even if this programme does exist, one programme using the term 'dark side' to refer to one spot on the moon that might not get light... changes nothing. No astronomer would use the term, and the term would be meaningless. And frankly, you've shown such misunderstanding of your sources that I suspect that even if this programme is real, you probably got the wrong end of the stick with it.
There is no dark side, and you are just in a huff for being called on this.
Oh, that makes all the difference! Now everything you say must be the truth, eh?
Say 'ego' all you want. Everyone can see what this is. You made a bit of a mistake, is all, and you are hoping that by yelling 'ego' at me you can erase that. You really cannot, and you make yourself look like a lesser person by trying.
It was such a small mistake, you know, and my original correction was a. not meant as a criticism (not as if you were delivering a lecture titled 'I think there is a Dark Side of the Moon'😉 and b. not even aimed at you; several people were using it. It just seemed a good opportunity to point the issue out. But look what you have made of yourself trying to pretend you never made that small error.
You can think I didn't watch this show, you can't think I misheard something or you can think that the Science Channel doesn't exist, either way, it doesn't make a difference to me.
You learned something about the moon today which you didn't know about yesterday, that Southern area, where sunlight never reaches. it's good enough for me.
Actually I knew there were craters on the Moon that the sun didn;t get to all of (those exist on nearly all solid bodies in space). It never occurred to me that anyone would try and call this the Dark Side of the moon, when such a lebel is clearly preposterous.
All I have learned today is how desperate some people get to defend a hopeless position.

It might prove that there is or was water on the moon. Or according to the first article it's a deliberate attack on well known moon civilizations.

Nope, Mercury rotates but it is very slow compared to all the other planets.
