Why Do We See the Same Side of the Moon? - [08]

Here we discuss why we only see the same side of the moon at all times.  This is called tidal locking and many moons and even planets in our solar system behave this way.  We discuss that it has to do with tidal forces, that, over time, synchronize the orbit of the moon with its rotation such that we never see the other side of the moon.
