Some of this gets confusing after awhile, which is why I like to ask other "non-scientific" people questions to see if they can rationalize it before running to a "science" book.
I was attempting to balance the idea of the moon orbiting the earth, but "staying locked", but the earth orbiting a much larger object that has a much larger gravitational pull, does not.
On the other hand, have a look at the supposed moons of Mars...

Also notice (2nd link has a video, CGI of course) how they are able to get images of all sides of this, but not a 360 look at Earth's orbital rock that they have landed on over 5 times.
With this being the only exception...

Choose what image(s) to accept, no idea which ones are photos or computer generated.
But here is a video that mentions stretch marks on Phobos, and it's apparent doom as gravity is purportedly pulling it apart
When researching the many supposed moons of Jupiter, things get rather interesting and more intriguing.
