farside
Moon's opposite face
The farside is the side facing away from something, especially the far side of the moon—the hemisphere permanently turned away from Earth.
More generally, it describes the more distant or hidden side of any object: We set up camp on the farside of the hill.
The word sometimes carries connotations of mystery or the unknown.
