Yes your pictures are wrong. In the northern hemisphere it looks upside down from the southern hemisphere. It's orientation to look at the moon in the north you have to look south and in the south they look north to see the moon.

That's certainly a possibility.

The moon is drifting away from the earth very slowly.

How long will it be before we no longer have TOTAL solar eclipses? I may need to plan a solar eclipse vacation, since I've yet to see one.

It's moving away at about 1.5 inches a year. A long time.

Thanks...that's a relief!

About 5 million years so you have plenty of time. Good luck on the vacation.

According to this article, 620 million years until the last true total eclipse.

I don't know if I buy this tidal locking theory. To be exactly synchronous - one rotation per orbit..

I think the aliens on that hollow moon base have a hand in this.

How dare you bring physics and science to an ATS thread? By doing so, you might inadvertently educate people.

Disgusting! Heathen!!

a reply to: noonebutme

I know right?

a reply to: anotherside

they are not, look closely at the craters.

Yes, they are rotated.

a reply to: anotherside

neither, just trying to open your closed little minds.

You mean to be as open minded as you to not realize that the 2 images you posted were the same image just rotated?

Cool,

time to start stocking up on beer and some shrubs that are made illegal.

The OP should remember that as Earth rotates under the Moon during the course of a night, a person's point of view of it will change, as shown in the example below.

NOTE: The example below is for the middle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere (i.e., most of the populations of Europe, North America, Russia, etc.), but a similar phenomenon will happen for people in Australia, South America, and southern Africa -- just upside down.

Then you were taught something false. Don't make this a Mandela effect thing!

moon changes face
Two moons ones normal, one is not.
Im not alone in this.

a reply to: anotherside

Alone or not, you would be wrong. The moon does indeed rotate on its own axis (every 27 days, just as the moon takes 27 1/3 (ish) days to orbit the Earth. It appears to be "perfectly still" aka synchronous rotation. But it is not still. Simple answer. This is not the Mandella effect, it is poor education.

To be fair, School dumbs down things a lot. SO assuming you were listening in class (aimed at late teens not you). You would have been taught light was a wave right? OR Electrons are a particle? Yet Heizenburg and his uncertainty principal would have you know, light is a wave and a particle (with no mass), while electrons are particles which are also waves. IT depends if you want to know "how fast is it going" or "Where is it" when you ask a question. You can't know both with accuracy and precision.

It's the exact same, just rotated. This has been proven to you over and over.

Just saw the moon this morning high in the sky in the west and moving north east until the earths shadow appeared underneath. Prove to me that IT caused the eclipse, then I'll go away and get some Cheetos and a Dew.
