sometimes I hace the feeling, that people create threads on topics they just want to find strange.... Because they want to believe in 21.12.12

Do you mean on a Government or media level?

The same thought has crossed my mind and it just doesn't make any sense that no recent media references or scientific studies can be readily located about this. The amount of people who claim that there is something wrong (thousands) as of late compared to the recent media attention on the subject , which is none, is staggering.

Its almost as if there was a "gag order" in place and professionals dealing with the subject have had to sign non-disclosure agreements regarding these facts. (Just speculation)

The Inuit peoples of the high arctic have published several stories regarding the changes in sun's position at their locations and were told by a meteorologist that it is an "optical phenomenon unique to the extremely high horizon". Yet these changes are visible all over the world. Regular people from all over the world are reporting their observations regarding the sun and moon changing their positions in the sky... and we're not just talking inches here.

One of the apparent bigger changes that I have read about was how the furthest north the sun traditionally appeared for thousands of years, was the tropic of cancer which passes through central mexico, yet now, at the beginning of summer, it can be witnessed to rise in the direction of maine and set in the direction of seattle.

Originally posted by dogstar23Yeah, as others stated, this is completely normal. I've seen the moon "sitting" at different angles for more than 30 years now. It isn't always as the chart shows - they're just not bothering to show all of the possible "positions" - they're just charting how much of the moon is "lit" by the sun.

The Moon's orbit is eccentric.
The Earth's rotation axis is variable which causes the changes in the seasons.
Plus there's also a "wobble" in the Earth's rotation.

All of which is why when you have an eclipse in Bangladesh, you don't have one in Chicago.
And why in the middle of winter (in the Northern Hemisphere) the sun comes up in the South, and in the summer it comes up in the North.
The Moon also rises in different parts of the sky for the same reason and also because it's orbit is eccentric.

Just for the record I didn't even notice the angle of the crescent. It was more of a feeling you would get from looking at it. For what ever intangible reason it happened, I felt compelled to really notice the moon that morning.

It makes perfect sense if there is actually nothing out of place.

There are who knows how many tens of thousands of amateur star gazers and astronomers all over the globe who would notice if there was something wrong and there is no way to keep them silent--the same way they can't keep you silent. Every kid with a Go To scope would see it.

Muslims also need to keep careful track of the moon for religious purposes and are reporting nothing wrong. How would they be under a western "gag order"?

The moon is moving precisely as predicted. It's just that a lot of people are unfamiliar with that and only occasionally look up. These claims aren't anything new. People have been mistaken and vocal about this for as long as I've been reading sites like this.

And there are educated Inuit who realize the earth is not out of place. This is simply an appeal to the "noble savage" when in fact that is not the case. If the earth were out of place the GPS units the Inuit use on their snowmobiles wouldn't work properly/
