You wish to emphasize your ignorance that the tilt is dependent partly on the orbit angle (time of year) and location on Earth? Done. Yes, that shows the correct phases but it doesn't try to show nor can it, the orientation of those phases as they vary based both on time of year and location on Earth. Always have. Just because you are only noticing this now doesn't change that fact. ...sooo...in other times of the year, or other parts of the world the Moon has always been laying???? I just know the it has never been like that before. In the 70-es, 80-es lived/visited different parts of the world, watched the sky a lot and it was not like this! And lots of people I know on and off GLP says the same. This is why I updated this thread after a month passed and ask you all to tell/show pics on what you see. Thank you If it is clear tonight, I'll take some pics of the Moon. I was looking at the Moon last night through my telescope(3 inch reflector)and it was an amazing image. the only thing that I have noticed lately, and I'm not even sure if it is normal, but i have noticed that the moon is much higher in the sky, almost straight up,... near the end of march it was much lower in the sky, about half way down. This has happened once before, this year! |

It could then be concluded that the earth composition has changed(both above and below) and has moved out of it's specific orbit because of it. There by changing our view of the moon. Hello earth changes!!!!!!! Earth quakes, volcanoes, weather anomalies. It is going to be a wild ride. Already is! And yes it has been on the fritz for 5 yrs. Just as the sun appears to rise and set to far north(Jacksonville, Fl) of East. I have full sun on the north side of my perfectly east/west oriented house. I have been watching closely for 60 yrs. My prayers and life are guided by both the moon and sun's positions in the astrological sky. But the last 6 months have been especially interesting in the way the crescent behaves before and after each of the full moon and new moon phases. Look for the crescent to be on top of the waning moon, as opposed to the bottom now. |
