@mkwadee@mastodon.org.ukThe #Moon always keeps the same side facing the #Earth owing the gravitational #ModeLocking. Therefore, if you’re standing somewhere on the Moon’s surface then the Earth will remain in the same place in the #sky all the time. Strange that.
Of course, there is a small #libration effect.
Like to say, for the moon earth is the center of the mooniverse.
@mkwadee so the Earth is just sitting there in one spot slowly rotating, is that the idea, yeah that'd be weird and also very cool.
@ReverendMoose Yup, it just sits there; it never sets, rises or even moves.
