What do you mean "it's a bowel"? Did you mean "bowl"? Even that does not make sense.
About 59% is viewable due to libration--a slight wobbling of the moon in its orbit around the earth. But this libration is unreliable, and years can go by before features off the main face are visible.
What latest research on what?
