| Oct 7, 2023 at 8:02 | comment | added | Eric Duminil | There's abundant life in deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Do they not care about light, or lack thereof, at the surface? | |
| Oct 6, 2023 at 21:58 | comment | added | Conrado | Life hasn't been shown to emerge anywhere except Earth, so far, making this a rather hypothetical question. | |

| Oct 6, 2023 at 11:23 | comment | added | gidds | @MooingDuck That uses ‘dark’ in the sense of ‘unknown, hidden, mysterious’ — not ‘lacking light’. That sense probably isn't used much these days (hence the confusion); think of e.g. a ‘dark horse’ (one unknown to gamblers), ‘darkest Africa’ (the parts that Europeans knew least about), or keeping someone ‘in the dark’. — Of course, with all the probes, missions, and satellites we've sent, that side of the moon is now almost as well-known and -understood as the near side, so as you say, ‘far side’ is a much better term now. | |

| Oct 6, 2023 at 0:25 | comment | added | Mazura | On World Building, What are the minimum set of physical characteristics to define an Earth like planet? and my answer to it because you mentioned Drake. Also because "life is impossible" or at least unlikely, unless you include every little bit of every answer there. | |
| Oct 5, 2023 at 20:20 | comment | added | Mooing Duck | "The far side of the moon" is the best name. "Dark side of the moon" is a nickname en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Side_of_the_Moon_(disambiguation) | |

| Oct 5, 2023 at 19:17 | comment | added | candied_orange | Even @Arjuns link acknowledges that ribbon worlds can have a goldilocks zone (2nd to last paragraph). The bigger issue is emergence. Without tides what stirs the primordial soup? | |
| Oct 5, 2023 at 18:50 | comment | added | Mooing Duck | "The dark side of the moon" is the name for the half that always points away from earth. It gets sunlight, but we never saw that part of the moon until we started launching space cameras. | |
