We've been noticing changes in both the moon and sun over Dallas, TX for several years now. In over 60 years of observing the moon phases, my husband and I had never seen what we call 'the Cheshire cat grin,' with only the bottom of the moon showing, as if it's waned from top to bottom.

In addition, for almost 20 years, the sun has always set directly over our next door neighbor's house, almost due west. It now sets several hundred feet to the northwest.

For many years, I'd always turned on our outdoor Christmas lights at the same time every evening--4:45 p.m.--because it became too dark to find the electric plugs in the shrubbery after that time. A couple of years ago, I realized that it stayed lighter later in the evening--until close to 5:30. At the same time, a friend in Yorkshire, England, noticed that it was getting dark earlier than usual on her evening commute. I took a globe and by tilting it, I could see how if Dallas were to dip farther to the south, Yorkshire would tilt farther north. I asked the premier local meteorologist if this was possible and was basically ridiculed. Then, a few years later, it came out that the North Pole has shifted almost 1,100 kilometers into the Arctic Ocean. All of this is, I believe, part of a polar shift that's been going on for close to 100 years, but it's finally gotten to a point where it's observable by amateurs. Just my two cents.
