I always figured that the moon in the album was more symbolic than astronomical, and it's dark side referred to something more like the "dark side" of the human soul than anythnig to do with light and shadow.

But then the album probably contributed to the popular misconception about the actual moon, especially when interpreted by scientifically illiterate stoners...
