Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Moon has a permanently dark side that never receives sunlight?

No. Reference sources state that the Moon's far side is not permanently dark: each location on the Moon receives about two weeks of sunlight, and the far side is actually brighter than the near side. Only small polar crater interiors are permanently shadowed, not an entire hemisphere.
