Because the way the moon revolves around the Earth, and rotates on its axis, we only ever get to see the one side of the moon. The far side of the moon is actually very different.

The full moon has been connected with strange behavior for so long that the word “lunacy” is actually derived from the Roman goddess of the moon, Luna.

There are two very pervasive conspiracy theories about the far side of the moon. The first, being that there’s a secret entrance to an extraterrestrial base stationed there (that has been edited out of all the satellite photos and everyone who’s actually been to the far side of the moon has been instructed to keep silent about it. The second, is that the Russians built a base up there and used it for nuclear testing.

The lunar calendar and the solar calendar are off of each other by about 11 days. This doesn’t mess with much in a practical sense, but some religions and cultures still use it to set their holy days.
