Far side of the moon

We need Sam I Am here.

Why do we always see one side of the moon?
Edit: Got my answer.

1. If the Moon didn't spin at all, then eventually it would show its far side to the Earth while moving around our planet in orbit. However, since the rotational period is exactly the same as the orbital period, the sameportion of the Moon's sphere is always facing the Earth.

Cool video, Joseephus. And cool info, Shunpike. So even though the moon is spinning, we never actually see it spin. Interesting.

That video must be wrong, because I saw a piece on youtube where a guy went on for over an hour about a golden dragon and some alien outposts on the far side of the moon. He said that nobody has been able to refute his findings. I saw that video first, so it must be correct.

Cool stuff, thanks

Is this when you were drinking and bored and started watching youtube for one song or band and it somehow over a period of an hour or so turned into looking at conspiracy nut type videos?

Yeah...been there done that .

There's a lot of that conspiracy-type chatter about how nobody ever shows the far side of the mean b/c of aliens and whatnot. If nothing else, it's interesting to think about.

Actually I was on a forum and someone posted a link to it. I really couldn't watch the entire video, he literally went on for over an hour. He had drawings of what he believed were points outlining the dragon and everything. This guy was way down the rabbit hole. I'm surprised he could even see the sky, much less the moon, from there.

OMG that is terrible. The last video I saw like that on YT was a guy who said that US research stations purposefully caused the hurricane that devastated the Philippines.

He went on for about the same amount of time citing his psudeo-science and scientists that were studying non-conventional theories.

Anyway it seriously made me p'ed off because a lot of people who watched his video believed him and were livid at the US that we were using a weapon to create hurricanes.
I looked at the "evidence" and posted about what exactly happened in the radar about a glitch that occurs regularly and linked videos of it happening on land too.

I knew some people were gullible and ignorant but this was not a normal troll ratio, there were genuinely people with very deep hatred and some that just clung to preternatural beliefs that were thoroughly convinced due to his volumetric rant about how much research he has done on the topic, he cited all poor sources and misconstrued quite a bit of it.

But I'm sure that in his mind it all makes perfect sense and he can't believe some people would look at all of his facts and not see the big picture.

Anyway, the video in the OP about the far side of the moon was really cool. I don't want to lose sight of that.

Yep, that happens, one tangent leads to another. After a couple hours of watching YT clips, I'll end up at some video trying to figure how the heck I got there.

What ya talking about BrainPaint?

Hey, if Buzz says he saw them, who am I to call him a liar?

 

[YosemiteSam]

Nice video.

If you like space stuff, I highly recommend you guys bookmark Brian Koberlein's blog. (Astrophysicist from Rochester Institute of Technology) He posts almost daily and it's almost always awesome stuff. He keeps the highly technical jargon to a minimum, so his posts are quite easy to understand yet still explain quite a bit.
