  1. Because of a phenomenon called “tidal locking”, only one “face” of the Moon can be seen from Earth. This is because the Moon takes just as long to rotate on its own axis as it takes to complete one orbit of Earth. The other side is known as the \u2018dark side\u2019 or \u2018far side\u2019<\/li>\n
  2. The topography of the far side is far more rugged and variable than the near side, which is marked with vast, smooth basaltic seas<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
