Ross,
Did you read the posts in which Amara and others (forgive
me others, I don't remember your names offhand) go to great
pains to explain to you there's no dedicated "dark side" -
hence no dedicated "lit side" - of the Moon? Our moon's
tidelocked to Earth, _not_ the Sun.
I won't touch the "misaligned microwave cooks area" thing.
Others can have at it.
Russell
