This is it for now, guys...I come back next month.


So you have dispensed your TRVTH and now fade into the shadows without even admiting that the Moon's phases are not caused by Earth's shadow?

For 2 months the position of the shadow of the Earth on the Moon is different than before. The sliver is on the bottom, and forms a wide letter "U" instead of the usual position.

There are many strange pics on the Moon on Spaceweather.com. More often than not, you see much more on the pics, that the written explanation. This time the Moon is not a crescent at all on the pic.

Edit: I reposted this because since March the laying crescent the "U Moon" is still there.
 Quoting: emerald_glow


The first sentence above says, "...the shadow of the Earth on the Moon is different than before." What "shadow of the Earth" are you talking about? The crescent moon from last night was not caused by an eclipse. Do you even know what you are talking about?

I wouldn't worry about the direction the moon is traveling. It's still traveling in the same direction it had be doing.

If 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.
 Quoting: Kennethmd


if north to south, tilting, if west to east,magnetic pole reversal.

I'm 100% positive that if flickr existed in the early 70's I would, especially since sky charting software shows that such a thing happened in the 70's just as it does today.
And just because you can find it on the internet does not make it a truth. So many lies are told here, do not just be gul-able.

LMFAO! Which picture that I linked to do you think is a "lie" exactly? This is hilarious!
Find ten pictures from five different decades in the month of May.

I don't need to, I can know what the moon looked like any given month and place by taking a look at Cartes du Ciel, Stellarium, or any of a number of lunar atlases. I've got a giant f'ing printed lunar atlas from the 1950's which shows the lunar terminator crossing the same exact lunar landmarks that it does today. Sorry, I don't have a scanner that big, but if you want pictures of the moon from 5 different decades go look it up yourself. I gave you plenty of examples already, you ignored them. Remain ignorant if you wish, but there's no proof for the claim that the moon is doing anything wierd, let alone unexpected.

Well what about any yr in May? I did see a September and a 98'

I never said you posted a lie. All that gliters is not gold, was my intention.

I did not ignor your pictures, they were nice. I had a contention about the dates. I was looking for earlier dates and the same month as we are in now.

Like I said, I have a big fat lunar atlas from the 50s which shows the moon's terminator still falls on the same lunar landmarks as it does now. You can't get much earlier than that. I have yet to see a shred of evidence that the moon is not following its expected course in its expected orientation.

You don't see the difference between the earth's shadow on the moon and the moon's own day/night terminator? Yes I believe it, I've seen it with my own eyes and unlike you I actually have the pictures to prove it. Seriously, I don't think I've ever met someone as ignorant of the moon as you.

It amazes me at how uninformed people are on the very basics of that great timepiece in the sky, the moon.

It has folowed the same ever constant, yet ever changing cycle of waxing/waning, tilt and rising/setting places, year to year.

When you are in tune enough to the moon, you will be able to know what time of year and what time of month just by the aspect of the moon.

You would have known all of this if you had been a farmer two centuries ago because your livelihood would have depended on it.

You really don't understand that the moon ALWAYS appears to rotate as it crosses the sky and you turn to keep facing it from east to south to west?

As well, according to where you are on the planet, the moon's aspect will look different. I noticed this the last time Venus was very close to the moon. The photos from all over the world showed quite different relationships between the planet and moon than the ones I took.

Perhaps with a few years of intensive moon watching (and maybe a drawing diary to keep accurate tabs) they will come to the realization that the moon is doing just what the moon has always done.

Wow, seriously, get Stellarium and learn how the sky moves (and yes, how it varies from location to location as well - An observer in the southern hemisphere will see a "tilt" opposite that of an observer in the northern hemisphere). Objects rotate as they rise and set from the perspective of alt-az (up-down, left-right tracking). It's one reason why an equatorial tracking system must be used when doing long exposure astrophotography; failure to do so results in field rotation.

Here, an irrefutable video showing the rotation of the sky over the course of 3 minutes sped up into 18 seconds. It's a short video I did of M13 the other night, I just increased the speed so you could see the effect faster. The apparent orientation and rotation of an object in the sky will depend on exactly how far from rising or setting it is.


Moonset to moonset comparisons are only truly comparable if they're equivalent in time to moonset and location. Bottom line is that there's nothing unusual about the orientation of the moon right now and there's nothing unusual about seeing it in a "wet moon" orientation. That Venus occultation comparison proves it; I had set the virtual observer in stellarium to the Philippines to simulate the view. The result came back showing Venus emerging in the same place with respect to the moon.
