And you still can. You forget though that you are on a spherical Earth. When the Moon is setting close to the horizon it will appear tilted because you are looking at it in the West from the East. The effect is more pronounced at this time of year because of the angle of its orbit but there is always some perceived tilt. When it is high in the sky you are looking at it in the South (assuming you are in the Northern hemisphere) from the North. If you happen to see the Moon the entire time it is up it will appear to rotate almost 180 degrees. It ISN'T actually rotating. Your view of it IS.

And never seen a U moon before February 2010, even if according to the above explanation half of every year we see it this way. What the heck is going on???? that does explain it ! Does it??? Does it explain why nobody ever seen it that way before???? It's been this way before. I have photographs from 2-3 years ago with crescent on bottom. Happens every year in february/march. This is nothing new. Why all the concern, really now. |

Just the dark side of the moon. The shadow of the earth falling on the moon only occurs during an eclipse. The lightened area that makes the rest of the moon visible is basically 'earth light' reflecting the suns rays onto the moon, much as we experience 'moonlight' |

Thank you...Stellarium is a simulation, you know...I have seen the real Moon so many times in my life... These occultation tables are very real, and would be impossible if the Moon was behaving abnormally. Some of the tables on the following web site can be found in old books in hundreds of libraries. In other words many of these tables were predicted decades in advance: [link to www.lunar-occultations.com] Tens of thousands of amateur astronomers all over the world use those tables every night. If something was amiss we would hear about it. It is not necessarily the Moon, Dr.PM...It may be the position or the tilt of axis of the earth...or something different with the Sun. The only thing we can experience directly is a shadow. It can be the light source, it can be the object that casts the shadow, it can be the object that the shadow is casted. Something has changed.

The only thing we can experience directly is a shadow. It can be the light source, it can be the object that casts the shadow, it can be the object that the shadow is casted. Something has changed. Quoting: emerald_glowThat would be the Sun, the Moon, or the Earth. (As has been pointed out, the shape of the crescent Moon is not due to a shadow being cast by some external object; it is entirely the result of the angle the sunlight hits the Moon, as seen from the Earth). The times of rising, setting, equinox, solstice, etc. for the Sun are documented in the same way as tables for the Moon; on paper, on sources that go back up to hundreds of years. And the motions of the Earth (as if they could be independent of the apparent position of Sun and Moon!) are indirectly documented in navigational tables of the rise time of beacon stars. None of these three elements could be changed without effects being obvious to millions of people. |
