The catch is “in sunlight” that was omitted from the tweet:

Depending on their launch date, the crew of NASA’s Artemis II mission may become the first humans to see regions of the lunar far side, like Mare Orientale, in sunlight.

I guess their logic for the tweet is they technically couldn’t see it since it wasn’t lit? I do know they are capturing information in new details they didn’t have before because of the lighting. And I also imagine the dark side of the mook was essentially completely dark
