Yes, and right now is full moon, thus the far side is only illuminated by stars.
And a little bit by asteroids like 20 Massalia and comets like 24P/Schaumasse.
I wonder why they decided on that timing? If it were better illuminated by the sun, couldn't they get some better photography?
It isn't full right now. It's a waning gibbous, so the far side is a waxing crescent.
