    The cause of the moon being dark is when the suns light is not seeing one side... since space is dark and there is nothing behind the moon to light it up that means that part of the sun is dark. Remember our sun is not a quantum which is the brightest thing in the solar system so it cannot light up everything although the suns rays travel far, and anything is possible humans are intelligent creatures why wouldnt we be able to live there we question our selves when we should try there are no laws of the universe just try.... :) LOL

    You mean the far side of the Moon, not the dark side. Every time there is a New Moon seen on Earth, the far side is illuminated the same as the Full Moon is tonight.

    EDIT: Oh, and what's there. More Moon, of course. More heavily cratered. And we could live there under domes, as long as there was constant resupply from Earth. After much development it might be possible to make it a self-sustaining colony, which would be lovely should anything like an large asteroid impact snuff out civilization on the home world, but that will take a lot of work, a whole lot of expense, and much, much time.

    The dark side of the moon is basically the side at which the shadow of the side that is facing the sun is cast onto the other side. It contains craters. Colder maybe but sometimes the dark side gets exposed to the light. Possibly.

    Nothing is on the dark side of the moon. Nothing is on the light side of the moon. It's

    the moon. Clearly it will be colder on the dark side, because lack of light equals more cold. If there was oxygen, water and atmosphere, that would be important, but we would still need to be able to grow plants and **** there.

    Why the hell would you even ask this query. Darkish Horse- Nickelbacks worst album, and an total piece of crap. Dark aspect of the Moon- crimson Floyds excellent album, a leap forward in track, and only a friekin great album. So yeah DSotM is so much better.

    The dark side is the side away from the sun. They have been around it and it looks the same. The moon rotates so the dark side also becomes the light side, just that we only see one side all the time due to tidal locking.

    Nothing - because there is no such thing as the Dark Side of The Moon, aside from the album.

  • What I learned is that when the sun, earth and moon are aligned a particular way, the moon looks a particular way. So, also, I learned that if the earth covers the sun from the moon, one part of the moon is dark.

    more moon, yes its colder because there is no light, and if there was atmosphere, water and oxygen it would be possible to live there, but might need a lot more heat

    Surfaces and craters. Maybe aliens you will never know. Only the people that been there know.
