Re:Why is the moon’s gravity so uneven? by jakeybob on Saturday June 01, 2013 @07:32PM (#5806537)
The moon does rotate, but the orbit is synchronised such that one rotation occurs per orbit, so from the Earth it appears not to rotate. However, if you photograph the moon over time you find you can see >50% of the surface area (about 60% I think) due to libration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libration
