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


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.

It sounds quite credible, except I have never heard this before (I thought I coined the word "U-moon" myself a week ago or so). 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.

So? 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.

Lots of u-moons from the most different parts of the world, only one of them is tilted, (from Texas)but the photographer admittedly messed around with it.

I thought the u-shape was odd as well since I thought you could tell whether the moon was waxing or waning depending on if the shadow on the moon was on its left or right side.

I was hoping other people would notice this, I frequently look at the sky and knew that the moon didn't look right. I took a pic but still haven't loaded it onto my computer so I don't know how well it turned out.

I'll check it out later and if it's worth looking at I'll post it.

But is has been seen before. A quick google search found either a question or an explanation about a U-shaped Moon in:

2009

[link to flhsgeoscience.blogspot.com]

2008

[link to answers.yahoo.com]

and answered on a NASA website in March 2002:

[link to starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov]


So it is incorrect to say no one has noticed it before.

 Quoting: emerald_glow

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.
