The Moon rotates on its axis and orbits the Earth at the same rate, about once every 28 days. Tidally locked in this configuration, the synchronous rotation always keeps one side, the nearside, facing Earth.
That has always struck me as odd. Seems like a near impossibility that both the moon's rotation and its orbit around Earth would be precisely the same.
Very cool. Thanks
