Why astronomers want to put a telescope on the dark side of the moon
www.popsci.com
LuSEE-Night is designed to provide never-before-seen glimpses of one of the universe's least understood eras.

I find it hard to believe that Popular Science would make such a mistake, but the author has reinforced the mistake by starting the article with “The dark side of the moon, despite its name, is a perfect vantage point for observing the universe.”

But all the quotes from scientists correctly say “far side of the moon”.

I know this isn’t really “science news” but I couldn’t find any other community to share this.

      I find it difficult to take a science based publication seriously when they use terms incorrectly.
