RE: Famous Scientific Illusions - the Moon's Rotation
I can't believe this isn't common knowledge! I thought it was obviously gravitationally locked like the moon of Pluto. Although Charon is also in a geosynchronous orbit causing it to not only show the same face, but also remain in the same spot in the sky all the time!
Incredible, isn't it?
Right? Wow, that's awesome to think about!
