I propose removing the infobox. It is found on the main page Moon, and besides, it is somewhat awkward as it is below all of the text. Lunokhod 19:54, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
I have two questions about the text. First
I don't understand this. Could someone tell me why west is not west in the sky? The image of the Moon that is shown is in "the sky", and to a non-astronomer, west should be to the left, just as it would be as labeled on any map of the Moon.
Second,
This is not at all clear. It is also not clear if the author is taking into account the axial tilt of the Earth. Lunokhod 18:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
"The near side of the Moon is the lunar hemisphere that is permanently turned towards the Earth, whereas the opposite side is the far side of the Moon. This effect is due to the fact that the near side of the Moon is heavier," —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.92.175.76 ( talk) 15:59, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I reverted to the previous statement before this idea was introduced. --
