Well the moon does rotate it just is so well sycned with our rotation that it appears to never rotate...

it's your stationary point of view watching a 3 dimensional object pass by. Believe it or not, when you move an object whilst stationary, you will view it from different angles, however slight the angles or movement may be.

not rotating look at the body

well...maybe its some regular physics ... when u hit object what is with out speed that object start moving..so maybe some asteroid hit moon and moon now rotating..

@markzmen09 lol

errrr, the moon is meant to rotate....

@jamrow708 Way to go, Jamrow. All celestial bodies rotate.
Stars gyrate, look at Madonna

@bestchoiceeverr Not sure what You mean with "it turn more than one full clockwise rotation during the span of 24hrs". You can't see Moon during 24hrs and it always has the same part, "Oceanus Procellarum" to the "front" in its trajectory, even if it seems like "Mare Crisium" is to the front, depending on that Earth rotates faster than Moon orbits. From Earths surface Moon seems to go from east to west, but actually it orbits Earth from west to east.

@YDDES I completely understand and it makes a lot of sense. Now the only question is, why does it turn more than one full clockwise rotation during the span of 24hrs?
How I created this video: Created a slow rotating sphere animation with a moon texture map using Bryce 3D. Then filmed the screen with a Sony Handi-Cam, a burning candle under the lens to simulate atmospheric turbulence, and added audio from an older capture of owl sounds, and a wind track as well. There you have it!

Also a candle under the camera to simulate atmospheric turbulence. Anything can be simulated now, don't even trust the mainstream news anymore.
