the half of life Earth spends turned away, pretending it isn't watching everything

means The period of darkness between sunset and sunrise, when one half of the planet faces away from the sun.

from From Old English 'niht,' descending from the same ancient Indo-European root that gave Latin 'nox,' Greek 'nyx,' German 'Nacht,' and Sanskrit 'nakt-' — one of those deep, shared words found scattered across nearly every branch of the family, suggesting our ancestors named the dark long before they split into separate tongues.
