Got a friend who is a bit of a alien conspiracy nut. Shortly before Moonfall he started with the hollow moon alien base theory (I was laughing tears when I saw the trailer). He said the moon is the only satellite in our solar system that doesn’t rotate and that is proof.
You should have seen his face when I demonstrated with a phone and a bottle of beer that the moon does indeed rotate once every full orbit. It got even better when I explained that one day we will loose the moon cause it very slowly drifts away from us.

yeah but backface culling means the far side isnt rendered, so it really is dark

Shouldn’t it be see through and what you actually see here is just the front side in reverse?

nah, the inner face of the outer shell is also not visible, so not rendered. if you actually managed to look at it, you’d get garbage. usually the remnants of previous frames.
