I thought that that was due to the near side of the Moon having
undergone volcanism _after_ most of the small bodies that would hit it
had hit it, erasing many of the craters, and producing the "seas".
Note: The other ("dark") side of the Moon _does_ get the same amount of
light, but is called "dark" because its surface is made of darker rock.
