Mmmm. I'm still not sure. I've seen each stage of the moon with BOTH bodies overhead.


Sorta.

The phase of the Moon is DIRECTLY related to the visual distance between it and the Sun.

A crescent Moon MUST be near the Sun.

If the Sun is just setting, and the Moon is at the Zenith, even without looking up you know the Moon is in a quarter phase.

And a full Moon MUST be 180 degrees from the Sun. Which means it rises as the Sun sets, and sets as the Sun rises; you will never see them both in the sky at the same time.




I'm not saying you are wrong. I'm just saying that some science is off or I'm very clueless and should probably stop searching for truth like Salomon.


Never stop.

And by that I also mean; don't stop at the easy answers ("Aliens musta done it") or stop because it seems too hard to figure out ("I guess I'll never know -- and I'll bet no-one else knows either.")

Finding the truth is a lot of work. And it is an ongoing, lifetime endeavor.


Nomuse's alarm bells rang. A moon thread. His job is to quickly squash anything about moon fakery.
