Yes, the "sideways" or "horizontal" moon is normal, even as far north as Colorado...

Doing research is not fair, the other kids don't know how to do it.

I don't agree with astro on a lot of what he says but I can tell you the the moon thing is normal. I can remember seeing it do that as far back as I can remember, late 80's. The amount of "tilt" might have changed over the years but that is because the Earths tilt has changed.

And to try to argue against the fact that chronically poor people are MUCH less educated as a whole when compared to wealthy people is just as much a measure of true idiocy.

Wealth has its advantages. One of them is easier access to quality education. Obviously you missed that boat.

Keep rocking on Dr. Astro! There are still a lot of people that enjoy your posts and look forward to seeing them.

It only seems that way to nosepicking mouthbreathers who can't do basic math and are occasionally frightened by the moon when they happen to unplug from their bevy of fail compilations and wander outside.

The earth's tilt has not changed by any amount you can perceive by eye.

As do I ....but to assume that i have learnt nothing more after i have left school is a mistake on your part,i am a frequent visitor to astro,ninrez,el quiz threads as well as other posts on other forums i never stop expanding my mind and to be honest i pity you on account of your small in the box thought proses

You are not helping your position with this post.

Yes true but this is an example of how hard it is to prove your intelligence means more than your bank balance.

I've just gave you a :greenkarma:

Wonder why it disappeared.

This guy fakes images and puts false dates on data, I'v caught him at it. No such photo was ever publishd.

Give it up you've already proven you're a dumbass you don't have to dig any farther just chalk this one up to mission accomplished!

The moon has been recorded in its different positions in art through the ages. You can go to Wikimedia commons and look at the pictures. This is not a very big sample, but enough to give you the idea. Many of them are from Europe, which lies at about the same latitude as the US, between the tropics and the arctic.

Here is a painting done in the 1600s:

This is an old diagram of the moon phases:

There are also several paintings from hundreds of years ago that show what sure look like flying saucers. Lot of interesting things in old painting.

You can't make up for a lifetime of not paying attention to the sky, as is pretty normal now, but you can make up for lost time by studying.

In the future, if things go to hell, it might be very useful to know how to understand what is going on in the sky. Then you have a better chance of knowing when something is really out of the ordinary.

Get a Farmer's Almanac, even an old used one, and read it. The dates will be incorrect, but other information will be useful. They are very interesting reading, and you can learn a lot of useful information about the sky environment.

Like the 1971 Apollo in Florida with the sideways moon

Please PROVE your statement!

The moon could split into two seperate pieces and this guy would say it's normal. The "swamp gas" guy of astronomy.

Especially people who are paid to say so. Look any material evidence of Astros assertions and you will come up blank. He just lies , assuming people don't have the resources to confirm it. Photos of 'old' publications prove nothing, there is this thing called photoshop.

Are you interpreting s**** to fit your convenience?

Just rread what NASA says about the cheshire moon and you'll see.

Wikipedia and anything connected with it is not a reference. Not any more than Mad magazine is.

Prove it!!!!

I gave the specific reference, January 1969 cover photo of sky and telescope. I even provided a full, high resolution scan of the cover.

I also shot video of it. I couldn't fake that even if I wanted to, I'm not nearly that talented at CG or video editing.

If I'm lying about the date or "faking the image" then prove I faked the image and show what the "actual" cover of the January 1969 issue looked like.

The photo he claims was published decades ago is a fake and was not in the publication that he claims it was. Will that do it for you?

please provide evidence of that

Prove I photoshopped it. And by all means, I encourage people to go down to the library and look at it for themselves. And I also shot video of it, I could not have "photoshopped" that.

please provide evidence that the photos have been photoshoped.

I just happen to be able to do just that, the problem is you will claim it is a fake. The only way to confirm what was actually in the cover is to possess an actual copy. I don't, but I know someone who does.

that's all fine and dandy but can you provide proof that the images aren't real?

That's not proof. You just restated the claim. You have provided no evidence to support your claim. You are a liar, the photo is not a fake, it IS on the cover of the publication I claimed it was, and I even shot video of the publication to reinforce the point.

Now it is up to you to PROVE my evidence is "fake."

You have a large budget at your disposal and such a fake is easy to make for even myself.

put up or shut up.

Go on lying Astro. You look like a buffoon to anyone who knows anything about these subjects. That's not your target though, is it?

Also if its not a fake it could be an photoshopped one for illustration to whatever

There is not such a Moon with a geo location above mexico's latitude.

And the Moon normally doeas not rotates several degrees per hour as well. Its not written in any astronomy books or basic school books as well.

you've yet to provide any evidence of lies or photoshop.

if you want to be taken seriously then show us!
