Let's imagine we land one day near the north pole of the Moon! We had better take a map to locate ourselves.
Our view of the Earth would be somewhat special! That's, because of the Moon's libration.
An example of what we could see if we were at 89 degrees north, looking at the Earth, on the south. Notice when the simulation takes place and how the Earth sets and going to the right (barely visible on the third view).
20 hours later
29 hours after the beginning (the Earth is just above the horizon and all during that time, we're in the night side)
Yes, the Earth does set on the Moon, only it happens very slowly and not everywhere.
