You can't see the far side of the moon from earth.
It's tidally locked to us so we see the same side all the time. (give or take a few degrees of latitude, depending on the cycle.)edit on 16-9-2012 by AlphaHawk because: (no reason given)
What are you talking about?????
The far (dark) side is exposed to us when it's a new Moon. The dark side appears dark to us that's why we STILL can't see it.
Why doesn't every one realize this???????????
It's so basic.
It's so simple.
It's so 5th grade-ish.
The Moon rotates but it's timed in a tidal lock so it's rotating at the same speed as it's orbiting us.
Good gawd I wish I didn't have to go into this every other month on here.
Someone please....help me to help them.
The. Moon. Rotates.

If you are used to working with After Effects or Maya and are used to some standard particle effects, yes it's easy to look at these and say that. I could point to many issues with the video (for example, the zoom renders the terminator of the mood a bit blurry but the "crafts" are sharp) but after about 3 seconds of seeing the motion I can tell it's cgi. It's annoying and there might be legit videos out there, but most of what's on YouTube is manufactured. If you were used to working with these applications you'd probably conclude the same.
