Each clear evening I look at the moon through my binoculars. I see the same surface features on the moon in the same place each evening. This seems to indicate that while the earth revolves through 360 in very close to 24 hours the moon does not rotate. Am I correct in this assumption? Tookey

The fact is the moon presents the same side to earth all the time so we never see what is regarded as the "Dark side " of the moon.
The reason? Whilst the moon has an orbit around earth it does not have an axis. That is it does not "spin" as earth does, hence very low gravity.
