The Moon Is Acting Weird Latey

Last 2 Night ago, The moon in our area usually would and should have shown up and come up around 9PM and 11PM but for some strange it didn't but.

The moon however did come up around 3:30AM Eastern Time, till morning 6AM, this has not happen before, usually the moon always raises above the buildings in our area around 9 pm or 10 pm, but the other evening we had no moon till morning.


Does anyone here also experience the same strange occurrences? and i have i noticed the moon shape is a bit stranger, i will take some pictures tonight of the moon if i could.

Them Moon Rise changes quite a bit each day, and there is no "usually." If it rises at 9pm tonight, it will be rising at 9 am in about 2 week!

The only constant is that it will rise at approximately sunset on the full moon days, and it will set at approximately sunrise. As it goes through its phases, it will rise and set at different angles when compared to the sun.

Hope that helps. Look it up some more for more specific explanations.

the moon rises at a different time every night.
it has not been "acting weird".
and we watch it almost nightly from the observatory.

simple websites and software can show you,
if you dont feel like watching.

Clouds dude, cloud cover.

I have been noticing that for a couple of years now. I haven't noticed the shape being different that it should be, but it comes up at all different times. I take my dogs outside every night before bed, and when it isn't cloudy, I am always looking up. I am situated on the 53 parallel. I started thinking about the earth's precession wobble, because I am up so far north. Maybe we are wobbling more these days? I don't know, it just seems strange that for a few nights it'll come up early, and then all of a sudden it takes a couple of hours longer, and it moves over quite a bit.

See how it changes

That helps me feel better. I am assuming my wobble theory is probably close then (53 parallel).

It sucks to feel I should be this way but...

What planet have you been on lately?

In the future it would help if before you start a thread you acquired at least some passing knowledge of what you are talking about . PLEASE.

The OP asked a question because he didnt know.... If he acquired knowledge then he/she would not of asked.

Geez

I thought you were going to say that the moon is missing a lot of work and not returning your calls, and generally being an a**hole. If that were the case, I was going to suggest an intervention.

anything on the naked eye ray burst directly overhead when the stars first start appearing @8:30 Texas time April 29th2010 as bright or brighter than venus

or June 7 @10:30 straight up (from central Texas) and a little to west watching a star? (that was stationary) got brighter then starting moving west began to fade stopped then got brighter than started moving west again until faded away

I think it is Mac Tonight, With all his Piano playing, and nonsuch.

yep, the moon time is 53 minutes later each day....what about how low it goes and what causes that? i tried to picture the orbit of the moon sneaking south, but it gets really down to 25 degrees in the sky or so from here at 32 degrees north hemisphere....Dallas

Yep.

The moon wasn't where it usually is because it was somewhere else....moonlighting.

Star incoming:

We were in an alignment from June 4th to 6th. I think that if you were in the right location around that time you could have seen a very close alignment as the transit of venus which is outbound on June 6th 2012.

If you noticed several days ago the moon sat just above the eastern horizon and on the western horizon though not visible at the same time as the moon was venus.

The moon was a half moon and a blood red moon, the sun was to the north west and cast a very bright half moon.

Good catch! Those were so-called "Iridium flares". The "Iridium" communications satellites* are in low-earth orbit and have flat surfaces that reflect the sunlight in predictable ways. Often these reflections are brighter than Venus. If you go to www.heavens-above.com and enter your latitude & longitude, it will give you predictions for upcoming "flares" for the next week. I've seen a bunch. Good Hunting!


*"Iridium" is the name of the satellite constellation, so-named because they originally planned to have 77 in orbit, and 77 is the atomic number of iridium on the periodic table. Actually, they only wound-up orbiting 66 of them, but didn't bother changing the name to "dysprosium".
