A crescent moon visible during the day at the Big Moniteau Rock Art site. At least 4 pairs of Turkey Vultures nest in the bluff immediately east of the rock art site.

Just saying.
I've been meaning to ask: are you an attorney? Originally posted by Soylent Green Is PeopleI'm not trying to be pissy,but I had just finished reading most of the thread and gave up in exasperation from reading the same thing over and over and thought the thread needed another possibility.I apologized for my opinionated attitude,it didn't come out right.To me the moon does seem to be in the wrong position,I've noticed it a year ago,and not only that but it's much brighter than what I ever remember.My backyard is roughly an acre,on a full moon I can see everything in my yard,if I wanted to I could read a book by the moonlight.Could I be wrong?yep,but still worth asking and discussing with others.Most posters aren't looking at anything other than cycles,although a good foundation it's not offering anything outside the box or discussing what other options there are.

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back ,we see your intelligence.I was proposing an alternative theory nothing more...I believe there is enough Einsteins in this thread.
I don't understand your response.
I asked you if you thought if it is ever normal to see the Moon tilted at Moon-set, when viewed from the mid-latitudes (such as in the OP's November 4th picture from Las Vegas)?
And then I went on to say what I understood about the way the Moon could appear, and also how science can predict the Moon's look based on long, long understood knowledge of the Moon.
Could you please clarify your response about "patting myself on the back" and the Einstein comment? I'm not trying to show you my intelligence -- I'm just trying to explain that the Moon hasn't changed that much in the hundreds and hundreds of years science has been observing it.

to me this is supposed to be about conspiracies and that doesn't always include cold hard facts,
we understand the basis of reality and scientific analysis, this is about not what we understand but what we don't.

Okay, the Moon is 14% bigger, but can you actually tell the difference? It's tricky. There are no rulers floating in the sky to measure lunar diameters. Hanging high overhead with no reference points to provide a sense of scale, one full Moon looks much like any other.
What you will see is the world around you. This is both the brightest and (in the northern hemisphere) the highest-riding full Moon of the year. If you go outside around midnight it will be close to overhead and act like a cosmic floodlamp making the landscape absolutely brilliant, especially if there's snow. Full moons are always high during winter and, indeed, the solstice is right around the corner on Dec. 21st.
A fun experiment: Take a friend outside on Friday evening and ask if they notice anything unusual. Is the Moon big and bright enough to impress the unwary? Explain perigee later....

Maybe nothing we see is real?I go out to my yard on a full moon and I see it directly over my head like a lamp pouring down beautiful moonlight and I get a sense of serenity but I also get the feeling that all is not well.Why?Because I don't ever remember seeing it directly over my head like that ever!Have you ever felt this way about anything?
Originally posted by UncinusI don't think it's all a dream.I'm pretty much a no nonsense kind of gal.But lately beginning to wonder if what we see is all there is to it.I can't put my finger on it exactly,but know whatever it is,is there?and I not making much sense I know...just can't shake the feeling all is not right.

Sure I have, but I don't usually leap to "this is all a dream". I normally think "interesting, I never noticed that before"
I actually had a similar experience with the moon. I grew up in a house that had a streetlight outside. Al the streets around had streetlights. One day I was staying at my aunt's house, which was more isolated. I remember walking up one night and wondering what the bright light was that was shining through the window. I looked out the back and was amazed to see the yard illuminated by a bright silvery light. It took me a while to figure out it was just a very full moon, seeming bright because of the absence of street lights.

Wasn't there an article from a university stating awhile back that the moon was off?Let me see if I can find it,here is a video on ityoutu.be...
