How much Moon can we see?

The Moon always orbits the Earth with the same side facing us and it wasn't until man first visited space and the Moon in the 1960s that we got to see the side that faces away from us.

But the Moon's orbit has a little wobble to it. Because of this wobble, known as Libration, over time we actually get to see more than half (59%) of it's surface from Earth.
