The moon rotates at the same rate as it orbits the earth, so we always see the same side. Due to a phenomenon called libation, the moon rocks north and south, giving us a glimpse of the other side of the moon. For the next couple of days we can see almost 5 degrees of the southern pole that is normally hidden from view.
Clear skies and keep looking up.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Not only thanks for the lesson Don, but for a wonderful image as well!

I remember Ralph telling Alice he'd send Her To The Moon .
Wonder If She Ever Got There ?
I Think Norton took Trixie to the Sewer. LOL.
Good Shot, I see lots of Craters.

Amazing. I'm keeping this to compare to the real thing so I can distinguish the 5 degree part. Why does the moon look like a large beach ball with the dimple on the end and the lines going from south pole to north? (or east to west)
