not only does the moon spin per one rotation but we need to dispell the believe
in the "dark" side of the moon (the one we don't normally see. It does get "some" sunlight. |

That is correct! When we see only part of the moon lit up, as in a half
moon, the light has shifted to the "dark side" thereby proving rotation. A good illistartion is to make a fist out in front and to the side of you with a light shining on you. Then, slowing turn and notice how the light shines and moves around your fist.

That's a great anomated picture. Actually before coming to this news group,
I used to think that the moon spun on it own axis, not the Earth's. Or how could I say it another way? I used to think that the moon spun around showing all its faces. "Colonel J.K.

If the moon were stationary (no movement about its axis), it would show all its faces to the earth. The moon rotates completely on its axis only once during each trip around the Earth, rotating from west to east, the same direction that it travels around the Earth. Because of this, it keeps the same relative face towards the earth. -j |
