https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDNDz_VP3PE From Nov 16, 2015. The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, which means that it always shows one face to our planet. In fact, this is the case for most the large moons in the Solar System. What's the process going on to make this happen?   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Ist dir schon einmal aufgefallen, dass wir immer nur die gleiche Seite vom Mond sehen? Nein? Dann achte mal darauf: Auf Fotos sieht der Mond immer gleich aus, denn ja: Wir sehen nie die Rückseite des Mondes! Aber warum ist das so? Das Phänomen dahinter nennt sich "Tidal Locking" und betrifft nicht nur den Mond. Welche Auswirkungen das hat, was die Twilight Zone damit zu tun hat und warum dadurch das Leben auf anderen erdähnlichen Planeten für uns erschwert wird , erfährst du heute in der zweiten Folge ALLwissen. Viel Spaß!

The night sky is fascinating to watch with the naked eye. Billions of stars twinkle across our own galaxy and billions of other galaxies across the universe. But something else might catch your attention in the night sky: our own magnificent moon! But have you ever wondered why we always see the same side of the moon? In fact, the first time we ever took a picture of the far side of the moon was when the Apollo astronauts flew around the moon and back. From the surface of the Earth, it is simply impossible to see the other side of the Moon. Sounds like the far side of the moon is playing hide and seek. Actually, there is a reason for this strange phenomenon, and it is called tidal locking.
