Sure, but what about killing all people? That’s where we’re heading, and a lot of people are choosing to help with that. (I’m not saying that makes it ok, just asking for the fun of it).

It needs to face us so it can tell our tides what to do. If it turned around the tide wouldn’t hear it.

I thought this was a science community?

Can it ever happen to change?

Like an asteroid shower who throws a little momentum on this bastard?

Aside from being a meme, the factoid isn’t even true.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_locking#Moons

All twenty known moons in the Solar System that are large enough to be round are tidally locked with their primaries [planets]

I was skeptical thank you for the confirmation. Especially because the time it takes to lock depends on the relative size of the bodies. Our moon being exceptionally big relatively to our planet, if it has locked, then relatively smaller moons should have locked long before.
Btw, the locking is not perfect, there’s a little oscillation of the moon called libration, so we can actually see about 59% of it over the years.

Embargo,

It just says other moons. Not all other moons. Meaning the meme isn’t untrue… Right?

Pedantically speaking, yes. At least some small moons do freely rotate. But they are all very small and very far from their parent planet. If you were on the surface, you wouldn’t see details.

Mars has two small moons close to it, but neither rotate relative to the surface. They’re also really small and zip about super fast so they’re cool for other reasons.

It’s the heaviest part of the moon which face us. And even when it will reach it’s farthest and definitive orbit ( the moon slowly move away from us), it will still the same face toward us.

sigmaklimgrindset,

Thank you Eiji Aonuma, very cool.

Even if we planted a trillion trees it would only have a tiny affect on climate change. Same with killing large amounts of people. The only way we combat climate change effectively is getting off fossil fuels.

It’s disturbing that so many think that just more trees is the solution. It really shows how dumb and ignorant most people are.
