The Moon Is Just Hanging There

I ran into this with, I can't remember the name of my own story, but it's the story with the tidally locked moon. And one of the things that I ran into over and over again was people wanting to know, well, you know, why is the moon just hanging there? Why isn't it rising and setting? And attempting to explain through the point of view of a character for whom that was the natural order of the world. So what I wound up having to do was actually spend way more exposition time on her observing the effect than I would have done normally.
