Some interesting facts about the Moon’s other side. The lunar crust is thicker and contains less potassium and phosphorus. Scientists don’t know why. The far side is also considerably rougher with the exception being the Von Kármán crater seen in the image below.

 

This image features the moon's Von Kármán crater (115 miles, or 186 kilometers in diameter). The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera took this mosaic image, over which a 5-degree latitude and longitude grid was added.
