Ah, mais non!  Yes, it is real, but:

In fact, the moon does not rotate around the Earth
as the video claims.  Nor does the sun or the other
celestial bodies mentioned.

Alas, in this contretemps, *no* answer provided to the
poor contestant was correct. Nothing rotates around
the Earth, for such a motion is impossible!

(Eem-pos-see-beele!  Eem-pos-see-beele!)

It is true, however, that the Earth has a number of
satellites that revolve around it.  :-)   Those bodies,
it so happen, rotate only about their own axes, 
never about the Earth or other off-world objects.

P.S. Could have been translator error.  Or maybe with
the lame "anything goes" attitude today, both words
are coming to be accepted.
