Is it really true that Luna, our earths satellite, is the only one in the known galaxy to rotate around the earth only showing one side?

I'm still skeptical about the "truth" of our moon.

I do not doubt for a moment that there is Alien/Human Infrastructure on the moon. [Read, Penetration by Ingo Swann]; but what is it's purpose.

Is the moon controlled?

Sorry for being such a "newb", but that's why I joined this site; To absorb the hear-say and intellect of such profound CT's.

I believe that the moon does indeed have beings on and/or in it. I also believe that it is more than coincidence that the moon happens to have the strange and perfect orbit around Earth. The moon is quite a mystery, and the fact that we do not have our own base set up on the moon is another mystery. There are just too many questions, and not enough release of actual data. I don't believe anything that NASA has to say about our solar system.

Thanks guy!

You don't necessarily have to believe NASA, however there are many other source of data on the globe, and the information published about our solar system is cumulative historical scientific data. (and there is tons of it) Is the conspiracy global?

It is more than coincidence that the moon happens to have the strange orbit it does: As explained by other posters, it's tidally locked. It's actually quite common.

I fail to see how the moon's orbit is in any way "perfect" It isn't circular, nor particularly exactly aligned with either the earth's axis nor the solar plane. The fact that it always faces the earth with the same face is actually normal for moons.

Eventually, were the earth and moon not doomed to be annihilated by the dying sun billions of years hence, the earth would become locked to the moon, and the same face of the earth would always face the same face of the moon. The moon will have drifted to about 125% of it's current orbital distance further away. (the moon is actually drifting away because of energy liberated from the earth's rotation) At the beginning of the earth as a coherent planet, days were only about half as long. (~14 hours)

Mars' moons both orbit mars showing the same face always, as do at least eight of Jupiter's and fifteen of Saturn's moons. Uranus has four moons tidally locked to it, Neptune two, and Pluto it's one. many of the other moons of these planets (where applicable) are probably tidally locked, but we dont' have good enough data to say so for sure.

Essentially, it's weird for a moon NOT to be orbiting like that. And there's a simple and elegant reason, albeit one that probably took quite a bit of figuring out.

Right terminology goes a long way in understanding things:

We dont know much about moons in our galaxy since the best we can at best make out gas giants around other suns. in our own solar system there are quite a few tidaly locked bodies.

Now what *is* remarkable is that it is the right size and the right distance to almost perfectly obscure the sun, giving us the joy of spectacular solar eclipses
