If you mean the moon can rotate at most 7 degrees in one night, then yes that is normal.

But the moon rotating 70, 80, more than 100 degrees in one night or sometimes just hours now, NO that is NOT normal.

Ripped right out of "zetatalk." Debunked:
Well said, thank you! I presented my findings transparently and reproducibly. I challenge ANY zetatalk believer to produce a spreadsheet with calculations that show what the moon should look like and that it shouldn't appear to "tilt" in the manner depicted in Nancy's trace contour filtered photographs.
[link to www.zetatalk.com]

According to my spreadsheet, the moon SHOULD have been tilted from vertical by about 44 degrees with the illuminated portion facing down towards the horizon as seen from the eastern netherlands at 00:53:55 CET, which is exactly what is seen in the photo. And by the same spreadsheet, the photograph on the far left taken at 4:17:51 CET should have been about 5 degrees tilted from vertical, facing down towards the horizon slightly, which is also what is seen in the photograph.
 Quoting: Dr. Astro

Yes, that is normal. You have bought into the lies of an old woman who knows nothing about astronomy.
And that is why "Dr." Astro is all over the threads that discuss the moon tipping over way too far.
 Quoting: AC

It's not too far. If you claim it is, show where the calculations are wrong.
And how come you are back, Dr. Astro? Didn't you say that you just had to stop posting due to death threats?

What changed?

I made arrangements so that I never have to leave the house unarmed ever again. And I don't.
