I'm sorry you've never noticed field rotation before. It has always happened. The Moon and everything else in the sky appears to rotate every time they are up. They have to because your perspective of them changes as you are on a round, rotating Earth.

Which is of course, why a lot of us here on GLP have never seen this before, right? I swear I spent a lot of time camping and such and the moon always did it's phases vertically. I have the same request that someone else had...If this has been happening forever because it HAS to happen then it would be really easy for someone to post pictures of the moon in the past doing what it is doing now. Someone specified any picture of the moon before 1990.

Amazing how we have been on earth for this long and only right NOW are people trying to explain this to us. I am sure if we noticed it last year or the year before there would be a ton of posts asking and the question being answered. I Google'd horizontal moon and posts on GLP and I can't find a single post about this last year. Or the year before. Like it just started happening and now that people are getting wise to it others are trying to say that it is normal. Kinda like the birds committed mass suicide, right?

So in other words you didn't bother to even look up field rotation or think about why it not only happens all the time but has to.

Think about it. When the Moon rises, you are looking East. When high in the sky you are looking South (assuming you are in the northern hemispheres). When it sets you are looking West. Your perspective changes because you are looking different directions. This HAS happened before. Look up "wet Moon". Hawaiian mythology describes it as did Shakespeare. Early enough for you?

Please, prove this point with dated pics? Thanks.

Here's dated pictures. The captions contain links to the originals. There's also screenshot of a planetarium program matching the picture. [link to picasaweb.google.com]
