There is a very obvious difference between the near and far sides of the Moon. It's been locked to the Earth for so long that the internal geology has changed from gravity. All of the seas and lowlands are towards the Earth, since the magma was actually pulled to that side of the body. As well, the hard core of the moon is towards the Earth, it's actually more like a pear than an apple inside...
The far side is littered with craters, it's the side that that has been exposed to outer space for a billion years, it takes the brunt of the impacts from asteroids and comets.
