I am working on a graphic model of the moon orbiting the earth. Right now, the moon is spinning around its y axis, spinning around the earth. How can I stop the moon from spinning, but still allow it to go into orbit? Here is the code ..
Edit: Added animated video to demonstrate the problem:

void DrawInhabitants(GLint nShadow)
{
static GLfloat yRot = 0.0f;
if(nShadow == 0)
{
yRot += 0.2f;
}
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureObjects[MOON_TEXTURE]);
glPushMatrix();
glTranslatef(0.0f, 0.1f, -2.5f);
glPushMatrix();
glRotatef(-yRot * 2.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glTranslatef(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
gltDrawSphere(0.1f,21, 11);
glPopMatrix();
if(nShadow == 0)
{
glMaterialfv(GL_FRONT, GL_SPECULAR, fBrightLight);
}
glRotatef(-yRot, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureObjects[EARTH_TEXTURE]);
gltDrawSphere(0.3f, 21, 11);
glMaterialfv(GL_FRONT, GL_SPECULAR, fNoLight);
glPopMatrix();
}
