There is an animation of a rotating Moon at the Clementine Web site, so 
now you can see the Dark Side of the Moon. It is an MPEG created from all 
the images Clementine took. Interesting to note that the dark side of the 
Moon is much smoother than the side that is normally visible. I have seen 
some theories put forth to explain this but they are radical and are too 
off topic.
