46. Is the other side of the Moon bright? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

When the Sun is shining on it, the far side of the Moon may even be a bit brighter, as it has much less of the dark mare material (the Moscow Sea, Mare Moscoviense, is a notable exception) covering it and much more of the bright lunar highlands.
