This has always confused and baffled my head but I found this video on youtube which explains and shows you why we dont see the far side of the
moon...
Hope this clears things for a few of you out there....
The video shows that it's not really the "dark side". Notice that the far side of the Moon gets just as much sunlight as the near side. When
we experience a new Moon, the far side is bathed in sunlight.
I stand corrected - its not the dark side at all but the far side. What Im looking for is a simulation that shows the moon rotating around earth with
the earth spinning. This clip is so far the best I have found but a 1 year cycle with both spinning would be perfect....
this is exactly what I think whenever I see the first original Star Wars movie, when luke is on Tatooine. I believe they had 2suns and a couple more
moons.
But yea, It would be absolutely amazing to have a different view once in a while
