Hey Mike!

Welcome!



I would appriciate people who are knowledgable and serious only....no flaming or poking fun at some silly typo or spelling mistake.


Kinda asking a lot here...

Care to elaborate on what is "out of the oridnary"...? I can think of a few things, but that may only skew your thread...

Please tell us what YOU think is going on with the Moon...

Hello...and thank you...

Well, what I am talking about is the patterns as in the arc the Moon travels day after day (or doesnt), the pattern of the demarcation line (dont know what else to call it)...i.e. horizontal or vertical etc.

Does anyone knoe if there is a really good site that can provide the
"correct" location of the moon relative to a position on Earth and the Moon's "correct" appearance?

THanks for the reply...

Thanks for the reply as well!!

I actually dont study the face of the moon so much, but yes the pattern of the orbit, and how its "lit up"..


for example...I observed the Moon one night with a perfectly Vertical line and on the next it was Horizontal...how can that be?

..I have also observed the Moon NOT move in an arc accross the sky..just sat in the East all night...sounds CrAzY huh? it did move...but only id say 15 to 20 degrees at most..

...I gonna catch FLAK for even posting this...but rest assured Im not "smoking" anything..I am actually a Peace Officer...so...I dont do that...

You can download a little program called 'Stellarium' www.stellarium.org... it will give you a real time mapping of the moon and other bodies. I have found it very easy to use and useful.
Hope this helps

Really? seems the same size to me. If it got closer, then the tides would be more extreme and that is something we would definately notice here in the UK.

Like the sun, the moon rises higher and lower in the sky depending on the season.
