Do we always see the same side of the moon, or does it slowly rotate
in relation to our view?


We see the same side.


To me, it seems quite a cooincidence that the moon rotates perfectly
such that we see the same side constantly.


It's not a coincidence. We see the same side because
the Moon's rotation is gravitationally locked to the
Earth.


To me the coincidence is that I exist at a time to see so much wonder
in the skies. The tidal locked moon, the ability to go there, the fact
that the moon and sun show the same apparent size thus permitting a
solar eclipse. The fact that so much equipment is available and
obtainable to the average individual is truly amazing.
