Far side and near side
I've altered the article to more closely reflect the contents of the reference given, and to correct some errors on the Roche limit section. Might put up an article on tidal locking later if no one else gets to it. Also removed the reference to 'artistic' features, since I don't see anything particularly artistic about, say, iron deficiency. [[User:Tsumetai|Tsumetai]] 08:52, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

== Far side and near side ==
"Not surprisingly, it turned out to look a lot like near side."
The far side does not look like the near side. There are no great seas across it and it is simply a lot of craters. [http://www.mhhe.com/physsci/astronomy/fix/student/chapter9/09f19.html] 31% of the near side is covered in these seas while only 2.5% of the far side is. They do not look anything alike. --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 18:58, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
