NASA and CNN Get The Dark Side Of The Moon Thing Wrong - Again

C'mon @CNN - at least try to make your science headlines scientifically accurate ... Its the "far side" of the Moon (the side we can't see from Earth) not the "dark side" (Which is constantly changing). #astronomy101 pic.twitter.com/1ZTW8NdzDa — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) August 16, 2018

From this NASA website: "The series of test images shows the fully illuminated "dark side" of the moon that is never visible from Earth." Let's fix all the things :) https://t.co/Yflv19E5x5 — Dominic Angelini (@DominicAngelini) August 16, 2018 From a Million Miles Away, NASA Camera Shows Moon Crossing Face of Earth, NASA (2015) "A NASA camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured a unique view of the moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. The series of test images shows the fully illuminated "dark side" of the moon that is never visible from Earth." Keith's note: Ok, putting aside the inaccurate nomenclature for a moment, NASA, if the "dark side" is "fully illuminated" then its not the "dark side", right?
