Assume you are the sun.

Put a basket ball in front of you.

The base ball in your hand is the moon.

Orbit your moon around the earth with the same side facing the basket ball (earth).

Even though one side of the moon faces earth, the moon still spins from the P.O.V. of the sun.

You'll see.

And, yes, there is a relationship between the gravities of earth and the moon.

who cares about the great ball of fire ***pov.. i like mine! j/k

Apparently the rodents prefer chocolate.

Study how Earth's gravity influence the moon in maintaining its rotation in sync, leaving one side forever facing the Earth:

Well, science has no explanation at all why the moon affects humans.. their mental or physical health.

So, wanna solve that one, NacthoMan! ;)

..I personally would love to solve my own mystery with what I presume was the moon.

It was summer of 1997, and I was at a bus stop around 5.30am, saw an enormous round cosmic object in the sky. I presumed it must have been the moon setting, but it was at least 50 times the size it is normally visible with a naked eye. There was nobody else at the bus stop, and I did not have any photographic equipment on me, and by the time the bus arrived, it had already set down behind hills.

I had never seen the moon that large neither prior to that, nor after. Was it the moon? Did I have a daydream, or worse some hallucination?

Recently Byron Bay Lighthouse moon rise video (don't know how to post youtube video link) has been posted on social networking media. It is apparently real, however taken with a special camera lens that magnifies the moon. However, the moon that I saw that morning of 1997 was visible in that size with a naked eye. Is it possible?
