Can you see the far side of the moon from the surface of the Earth?

A terrestrial observer can see about 18% of the far side of the moon for a certain time. The reason lies in lunar librations – “wobble” of the moon relative to the terrestrial observer. Librations arise due to the ellipticity of the lunar orbit, the inclination of the Moon’s rotation axis to the plane of its orbit, and the Moon’s proximity to the Earth.
