What this is called is a tidal lock, the moon rotates at the same speed it orbits the earth the actually process would have taken place over millions of years.

The reason that the actually process would have take so long time is because the distortion on the moon is so small, the distortion in my scene is probably millions or maybe even billions of times bigger than the real distortion. Im a uber geek :ugeek: , lol

You "learnt" it? While you're at it, you might have learnt to spell.

Learnt is a word. Some people spell it that way, others the other.
