How does the Earth look from the Moon? Does it orbit through Moon sky like the Moon orbits through the Earth sky? the answer may surprise you ;D   |

My answer would be - no. The Moon has one face permanently directed to Earth and the other is the 'dark side' where UFO's hide and the locals from the dark side have no idea there's Earth around becauase they never saw it.

Its hard to visualize this problem but I think I've got it!
The Earth does appear to slowly orbit the moon from the lunar perspective. (every 28 days)
Heres where it gets weird, Because coincidently the moons rotation and its orbit around the earth are so perfectly synchronized, the sun only shines on the same side of the moon at all times. When the moon does present its backside to us we cannot see it because it is unlit.
Agree?

I think my brain just flipped over on its side!
