Why do we only ever see one side of the moon?
The moon completes one rotation around its own axis in the same amount of time it orbits earth. The two are perfectly in sync! But it wasn’t always that way…
When the moon formed, likely from a collision with earth, it was a hot molten object spinning wildly, changing shape, pulled by Earth’s gravity. As it settled into its orbit, Earth’s gravity pulled on its closer edge, making it into an oval shape. This created an uneven pull as it rotated on its axis. Over time this constant tug on the Moon’s bulge… caused its rotation to slow, and eventually match Earth’s…
This is “tidal locking,” an effect that’s actually quite common and found in most large moons in our solar system.
Because of this, humanity didn’t see the back of our own moon until 1959. And turns out it looks COMPLETELY different! If you want to know WHY, subscribe!

Moon is just the reflection of earth from the firmament
You move the demonstration too fast how am i suppose to get it
If you believe any of that I have a vaccine here for you to take 😂
Because the moon is a reflection of the earth. When you look into a mirror you see your face, not your back.
And you cannot see it ever moving either I know there is an explanation as to why? 👀
To many science fiction here
This sounds like such cap
❤❤❤❤
There’s something on the explanations that doesn’t makes sense
The cheese is much fresher on the dark side!
Tidal locking is just a theory and hasn’t been proven
Thank God she said "likely from a collision with earth", making all these hypocritical.
"constant tug on the moon's bulge". Hmph.
Artemis II mission made me realize, I do not know why we only see one side of the moon. Thank you and your excitement to teach is incredible
we all know how we got the moon wink wink 😉
Cuz we
C-moon
No because the other side is an introvert
“The side of the Moon which you can see from your planet is quite comparable to your desert areas on Earth. It is hot,
as your scientists correctly claim,
but
its temperature is not so extreme
as they think.
And
while the side which you do not see is colder,
neither
is it as cold as they believe.
it is strange
how people of Earth
accept statements
from those they look up to
as men of learning
without questioning
the limitations of that knowledge.
“There is a beautiful strip or section
around the center of the Moon
in which vegetation,
trees and animals thrive,
and in which people live in comfort.
Even
you of Earth
could live on that part of the Moon,
for the human body
is the most adaptable
machine in the Universe.
We would Have Less Tidal-Action With TWO MOONS
OR
WITH NO MOON !!!
OUR MOON DIDN'T FORM
BY A COLLISON WITH EARTH !!!
Thx for helping me with my homework
Lost me at “likely from a collision with earth”.
God
Because its bulge isn't being tugged as hard on that side?
Your video goes to fast I had to pause it so many times I got a headache slo the f down when you explain something
Because it is protecting earth from rocks
Soooo if at some point the dark side became the light side in '59, does it mean it will happen again sometime, or is this the time when both fell on total sync?
The back of the moon looks likes meecury
I already know why the two sides look different. The side not facing us is facing out towards most of the asteroids and its been hit more time than the side facing us.
I did subscribe and can’t find out how to continue the information
The red arrow is a good depiction of what could become a space elevator from the moon to a Lagrange Point of a space station/Factory on the grand scale of building spacecraft plus fuelling depot!
Think grandiose scaling with robots!
Think “Kardashev Scaling” !
😎👍💯🧠💨
Cleo my love
earth is flat so how the know behind the moon ?
The moon didn’t 'match Earth's [rate of rotation]', it matched its own rate of revolution around the Earth.
I've been wondering this since age 20. Im 46 now and tidal locking is just not explaining enough. Simply impossible.
The moon is shy. It is looking away and mooning us.😂
When the sun will rise from the west
People will start seeing only the otherside of the moon
Yet they'll not believe
They will
But it would be already late for any redemption
What happens if the moon started to rotate ?
