far side

Beyond the visible

The far side is the more distant of two sides, the one away from the observer or reference point.

We set up camp on the far side of the lake.

The far side of the moon faces permanently away from Earth.

Figuratively, the far side suggests remoteness or the outer edge of something: on the far side of fifty, the far side of reason.
