[h=3]Why Do We Only See One Side of the Moon?
[/h]

If the Moon didn't spin at all, then eventually it would show its far side to the Earth while moving around our planet in orbit. However, since the rotational period is exactly the same as the orbital period, the same portion of the Moon's sphere is always facing the Earth.

See the UNSEEN side of the moon!

Interestingly The Dark side of the moon is an awesome musical video by Pink Floyd!
