It's still traveling in the same direction it had be doing. Quoting: KennethmdIf the moon started traveling from north to south or south to north or west to east. Then still don't worry. Because the sun will be doing the same thing and we all would had survive the tilting of the earth. This thread is not about worrying. We try to find out more about this phenomenon by comparing our observations, and find the reason if possible. Emerald_Glow |

It just shows how humch of the crescent should be visible. It doesn't show you what orientation it will have. Since that varies based on time of day and your own latitude, it CAN'T show you that. |

It still bugs me...why all presentations up to 2010 show it one and the same way: tilted crescent. Never ever before I saw a "laid crescent" a.k.a. U-moon. Neither on the sky, (in any part of the world where I visited), nor on any pictures. Emerald_Glow |

Does it explain why nobody ever seen it that way before???? At this time of the year (around the vernal equinox), a waxing crescent Moon will always look like that (a U-shape) as it approaches the western horizon from a mid-latitude northern hemisphere site. The angle of the ecliptic to the horizon is primarily responsible for the effect. |
