Physics - Our Solar System - Learning Points. The Moon orbits around the Earth and spins on its axis. These rotations both take 28 days, so the same side of the Moon always faces Earth. The side of the moon that we don't see is commonly known as the 'dark side of the Moon'. In 1968, astronauts were sent to view the dark side of the moon for the first time. A Twig Context Film. Reinforce and extend the learning required by the curriculum. Twig’s context films show abstract concepts in action in the real world.\n
