No matter where or when we look up to the Moon, we always see the same features. In other words, there is no way on Earth we can see the other side of the Moon. You might think that the Moon doesn't spin. WRONG! Incredibly the Moon takes exactly the same amount of time to orbit the Earth and to spin on its axis. That is why we can only see one side of the Moon from Earth. Many refer the other side as 'the dark side of the Moon' just like the title of Transfomers 2011.
