Does the same side of the moon always face the earth, or does the moon
rotate and spin around like the earth?

Yep, you didn't know this already? It rotates like the Earth, but
coincidentally, it takes the same period of time for one rotation,
as it takes for one orbit around the Earth, which is why we always
see the same side.

But we don't always see the same side, since the pictures of the
full moons I looked at are different.
