Too bad for you there is plenty of evidence to show that all is normal. The ancient egyptians and hawaians described it. Lewis Carroll used it for the Cheshire cat (that is why it is called a Cheshire Moon) I'm fairly certain it is also mentioned in the bible and Shakespeare. Just because you never noticed it before doesn't mean nobody else has.

Dr. Astro (OP) Senior Forum Moderator User ID: 33360181 United States 03/12/2013 08:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Me Too. All this blathering on about field rotation does still not say anything to the obvious. Look at the video. Tilting...? But it is a smile and in all my years have been seeing this more and more just lately. Not years ago and not even a few years ago but just lately. I don't care to take the advice being offered. I don't are about his calculations and book deals. The video clearly shows somthing strange. Otherwise if this was perfectly normal why was a video taken. Obviously others thought it was strange too. Dazzle the young cause they don't know any better but those that have been on this planet longer KNOW somthing is up and wrong. Interesting point. The moon appears to be "sideways". Perhaps it is tilting. Perhaps it is not. In any case, I am not sure that either side has "proved" their case here. Have you downloaded the spreadsheet, tried it for yourself, or looked at the math to see why it's like that? This information comes from a book over 20 years old. And really all that gets you is the moon's coordinates for any given point in time; the part where it calculates the apparent orientation comes after that and if you understand that part you can see that it's a natural consequence of the difference between equatorial and altitude-azimuth coordinates (ie, field rotation) and the moon's position in the sky relative to the sun. It's all there, and it all works, even on an old photograph like the one I referenced. That's exactly how it should look from that location at that time. |

DVCMCM User ID: 37013819 Italy 03/28/2013 02:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'd leave DR.Astro alone to dis others. There is still room to grow. Maybe just maybe when he realises that the face of the moon which never stops facing the earth is not rotating.. Quoting: Free Store 35943883 LOL. Great Point. The Sheep are so easily buffaloed and bedazzled. Field rotation. Lens Flare and Swamp gas. These are keep it simple stupid remarks for the dumbed down sheeples. Its the only ones they understand. If that doesn't get them then confuse them with to much information they could never comprehend. That finishes them off. Jupitor tilted not long ago but hey the Moon can't. LOL Ok explain why field rotation is impossible using elementary vector mathematics. But you can't can you TWAT Y, the Sideways Moon on our Northern Hemisphere (since late 2007) becouse field rotation bullshit by an GLPers atrotard invention here is the result of high level if ignorance only (its stupid also, cant believe some "fine" minds here believes that crap). - |
