The Moon Has Not Repositioned


For those of you who noticed the different facet of the moon phase, with the moon appearing to be upside down, this is a natural occurrence. It happens about twice per year while the earth is traveling around what I believe are the west and easterns sides of the sun. Here is a video to show the process: http://jove.geol.niu.edu/faculty/stoddard/JAVA/moonphase.html
