    Moggie just in case that last website was part of the new world order and had stuff on it to confuse us about the moon, here's another science website's description. Do you need any more references Moggie to scrap that moon conspiracy? As any muppet can google to find answers Moggie why the heck haven't you tried that?
    Need me to show you why there's very few stars visible from the moon when it's in daylight Moggie?

    "From our perspective here on Earth, the Moon always shows us the same face because it’s tidally locked to our planet. At some point in the distant past, the Moon did rotate from our perspective, but the Earth’s gravity kept pulling unevenly at the Moon, slowing its rotation. Eventually the Moon locked into place, always displaying the same side to us.
    But if you looked down on the Earth-Moon system from the north celestial pole, from the perspective of Polaris, the North Star, you’d see that the Moon actually does rotate on its axis. In fact, as the Moon travels around the Earth in a counter-clockwise orbit every 27.5 days, it also completes one full rotation on its axis – also moving in a counter-clockwise direction."
