Or why the heavier / more mountainous region is facing away from us (the dark side). You would think the gravitation pull of the Earth (it being 81 times heavier than the moon) would pull the heavier mountain ranges towards us. But the opposite is true.
I can't find any information on other moons/solar bodies that rotate perfectly in time with the orbit it's in like our moon (1 rotation every 365 days). I don't think anything else does that in our solar system.
The only answer I resonated with that I could find was this:

And what is the significance of the moon appearing in the sky nearly precisely the same size as the sun and rotating in time with the sun so we never see the dark side? Q'uo was asked this, but did not seem to be able to come up with an answer about it, but did mention it had some significance (but they simply did not know what it was).Information on the nature of the lunar satellite orbiting this planet cannot be fully divulged although it suffices to say that it did not originate alongside this planet, its means of construction were both natural and artificial, and its existence serves the purpose of creating a set and overarching display of polarity in plain view of this planet's inhabitants.
