[quote:Anonymous Coward 1190422:MV8xMzM1OTU5XzIxOTYyNDM1X0NFQjI4MzFG] [quote:Currahee] I hope this helps with my point: :moonperspective: The reason all the images of moon phases show a verticle line is because it's the most logical way to display it. As shown in the image above, depending on where you are at at on the earth the orientation the moon will look completely different. So displaying it to show exactly how it appears to you in the sky would require the moon phase program to know where you were at on the earth which is too complicated for most moon phase programs so they just show you it straight up and down. I will attempt to find a good ephemeris program that you can enter your longitude and latitude or nearest large city and it can display every object in the sky to your orientation.

This is how the moon looked around Christmas near Bergen: http://www.meld.no/Profile/Sneipens/report/79113/image/26329 http://www.meld.no/Profile/Sneipens/report/79113/image/26330 Normal..? Not for us..! [/quote]

A few things...totally ignore the background noise. My son made this video and he and his brother and friend would not be quiet.
The video is almost 4 minutes long so you can see the movement of the moon rising in the sky behind the trees in the video. (Also shows the camera is not turned around 180 degrees or anything.)
I have no idea if I can embed this video (It is on photobucket) but if someone else can embed it, thank you in advance.
I am 36 and I swear I have not ever seen the moon do this like this, it was always vertical. I don't know what is up with it.
