Art of the Skeptic: Where is Your Moon Now?



When you look at the moon through the eyes of a skeptic, things are different. Have you ever looked at the moon? Hopefully everyone answers yes, but if you have you might have noticed something odd: You've only ever seen one face of the moon. The moon rotates around its axis so as to be in sync with its orbit around the Earth, as well as the Earths rotation. Additionally, it's orbit is exactly circular,* the only one like it of known celestial bodies. In short, the orbit of the moon is... Perfect. So are we really to believe this orbit just arose because of it's "natural" formation? The freak meteorite happened to perfectly blast the moon to circle like this? Or did the molten material that broke off early earth have exactly the right amount of mass to be held in a perfectly synchronous orbit? Believe it or not: I. Am. Skeptical.
