The insight where the polar coordinates pass through the circle of

And with your perspective as a distant observer outside the Earth you can

clearly see from the graphic that the Moon rotates once per month.

Only an ignorant homocentric observer limited to an Earthly viewpoint and

without sufficient visual IQ to appreciate it would maintain that the Moon

does not rotate.


A biochemist should be capable of explaining to any interested observer how the body reacts to the changes in a 24 hour cycle as the Earth turns once each 24 hour day and I never stop taking this angle with people that they do not need a telescope and empirical bluffing - their bodies and all creation as it ebbs and flows with the cycles of the Earth is what makes astronomy worth pursuing and makes them natural astronomers even without knowing it..

Your contrived 1465 rotations in 1461 days is at variance with what the body experiences and that makes for a form of insanity and not the actions of a biochemist.
