"Here’s a real brain-teaser that will test your ability to visualize
motion: When seen from a spot on the Moon, does the Earth rise
slowly, quickly, or not at all? Recall that the Earth spins on its
axis once a day;the Moon spins on its axis once every 27 days
(roughly);and the Moon revolves around the Earth in exactly the same
time—once every 27 days (roughly).It helps if you and a friend build a
model of the Earth-Moon system and try moving the Earth and
Moon.What does each of you see as you move?"

http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/webscope/.../pdfs/moon.pdf

So this is supposed to be one of the premier empirical institutions on
the planet and they firmly believe that the moon has traits of
intrinsic rotation which amounts to variations in latitudinal speeds
from equatorial to polar coordinates.That is no a brain-teaser,that is
merely aping Newton who was the only one to announce the moon rotates
and if that powdered wig said it rotates then his followers can't
imagine any different -

You unfortunate people,truly !

You unfortunate people,truly !

How about the statement that you can see up to 70 percent of the
Moon's surface from Earth. A statement you can easily verify for
yourself using the technology of Galileo (a small telescope).
You have yet to come up with an explanation for libration in hour
fanciful universe. Without exposing this effect you will have to admit
you are wrong about lunar rotation.
If you ignore this reply or just waffle you will be shown to be a
doublethinker or fraud.
