Is it rising or setting?

In order to get the moon right you'd have to pinpoint the exact location on earth of which ever arena you are in. The AH moon as represented now seems to come from an southern hemisphere viewer.....mate.

I don't think (but am not sure) that you'd ever see it upside down. The moon is in an orbit where the same side always faces the earth, and it doesn't wobble or flip around. Even if you were on the southern hemisphere, I think you'd see it "rightside up".


But, not 100% sure.

Think again, Krusty. :)

It's got nothing to do with how the Moon orbits or how it faces us; it's got everything to do with how you are standing on this great big ball called Earth.

Your "up" may not be my "up".

Moon is too large and too contrasting to be real. It looks like you see it through binoculars.

Hey hey hey - this is Earth?

If so then there's some serious sheep rustling going on - ALL the sheep are branded 'W'.


Call the police.

Uh oh... :D

Also, IMHO, the night sky should likely be darker than the craters and "seas" on moon ;)

The moon IS upside down.

It's setting in the west and rises in the East, the moon is upside down.  :)

I do hope you were just trying to confuse people. Either that or it's time to go back to school :) .....

The the moon DOES rise in the east and it sets in the west each day due to Earth’s spin.

The earth's orbit around the sun however is from west to east, as is the moon's orbit around the earth.

And the moon does appear "upside down" to people in the southern hemisphere. Of course that's from a northerner's perspective. :)

So we have the moon - but has anyone seen Venus, Mars or Jupiter recently?

...and what about astrologers then. How do they cope in AH? Huh? Huh?
