This site is dedicated to the presentation of the NSM position, acronym for “Non-Spinning Moon”, according to which the Moon does not rotate on itself. Its goal is to eradicate the SM, acronym for “Spinning Moon”, an opposing position that has been universally accepted for centuries. In addition to this page, it includes two others as well as a blog.

The two added pages are the subject of an NFT collection titled “Non-Spinning Moon (NSM)” on the Opensea site and recorded on the Ethereum blockchain. The title of each NFT is the one of its relative page.

“The Moon is not spinning” page (blue tab “Rotation”)

This page essentially includes the demonstration of the NSM, on a yellow background, as well as comments that complete it and demolish preconceived ideas.

“Libration of the NSM” page (blue tab “Libration”)

This page will be the subject of an NFT of the same name listed on the Opensea site and recorded on the Ethereum blockchain.
It presents a simulation, with its code in Python language, of longitudinal libration. The latter is supposed to be due to a tumbling effect caused by the imbalance of masses in favor of the hemisphere directed towards the Earth.
The program also allows to prove the NSM, no longer by geometry as in the page “The Moon is not spinning” but by mechanics.

Blog (blue tab “Blog”)

Feel free to comment on the blog. Whatever organization you represent (observatory, university, academy, agency, aeronautics company…) you have the opportunity to make it enter the history of science as the first to recognize the non-spinning Moon through the blog of the site.
