What it means
The phrase people mean is the far side, which is the hemisphere we never see from Earth, and it is a completely different claim. As the moon travels around us, sunlight falls on the whole surface in turn over the course of a lunar month. When we see a new moon, the far side is fully lit. The far side does look different, with far fewer of the dark volcanic plains that mark the near side.
The claim comes from NASA.
