Talks about the 'dark' side of the moon ( there is no such thing )

From the article: Chandrayaan will also investigate the differences between the Moon's near side and its "dark side".

"Dark side," put in quotes, just refers to a lack of familiarity, in the same sense that referring to Africa as the "dark continent" was never meant to imply that the sun never rose there. The image accreditation is another matter.
