The moon?
Why do we only see one side of the moon? And why don't we ever get to see the dark side from earth?

Butt . . . seriously.
The half of the Moon and Earth facing the Sun are thereby fully illuminated. The other half of each are accordingly darker by virtue of their own respective shadows.
The �dark side� actually receives as much sunlight throughout the course of the month as the side facing us. When we see the Moon half lit, the �dark side� opposite the Earth is also half lit. When the Moon is not lit on the side we observe from Earth this is called a �New Moon� and the other side is completely illuminated by the Sun.
Only when the Moon is �Full� is �the dark side of the Moon� actually dark. Wish You Were Here!
