Moon question
Does the Moon rotate on its axis?
Or is it a captured movement of the Earth's influence.
I know it always presents the same face to the Earth, but I believe there may be differences of opinion on this area of lunar physics.
Picture a leaf caught in a whirlpool. It may always present the same face to the centre of the whirlpool, but could you really say that leaf is rotating on its axis?
What do you reckon?
