The Rotating Moon

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Moon appears to us on Earth to show only one side because it is tidally locked in synchronous rotation. However, using images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, scientists can create virtual movies of the Moon's rotation. This allows us to see features like the Mare Orientale, a large impact basin, as if we were watching the Moon spin.
