Is the moon at a different angle?

[Ammit]

Hi there.

Coming home from work tonight, I noticed the moon. Nothing unusual there but being
interested in bushcraft and direction techniques I often use the moon to help teach
my young son to find south.

Well it all seemed so wrong, it actually points more westerly tonight!!
I have just been out with my compass and it points no where near south.

Am I going daft or is this for real.....

As an update, it was quite hight in the sky about an hour ago and is as good as gone now..

[yiolas]

The same thing has been bothering me for a while now. One night the moon is in the east and sets in the south. Then the other night it's way out in the west and some nights I can't even see it at all !! I do not recall in the past the moon being all over the place. Does any know of a site that can tell where the moon should be on any given evening ?

Ammit, your right about the moon tonight. I was at an evening wedding outside and the moon was high and due south. By the time I was driving home though it was way low just above the horizon due west.

Also try stellarium ... it gives the supposed position of sun and other planets as well...

The earth is spinning as we all know but what some people do not appreciate is that the moon is in orbit around the earth also. So if you went out at the same time each evening and watched the skies, the stars would be in a reasonably stationary position but the moon will appear to have moved significantly relative to those stars.

As I said in another thread, there are thousands of amateur astronomers watching the moon, planets and stars and any unusual movement would be flagged up almost instantly and be across the internet on message boards within minutes.

Thanks for the replies, I do appreciate and know that the moon orbits our planet.
What I refer to is the fact that you can compass direct by the moon, you draw an imaginary
line from both points on the moons crescent down to the ground, that should more or less
be south, well, here in the UK at least..

Last night it did not point to south in pointed westerly!!!

Here you go, this is what i refer to..http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mattlind/archive/2007/12/20/how-to-find-south-using-the-moon-shadow.aspxhere..

[Ammit]

Just to let you all know, I checked the moon last night and it shows
south again, it is weired to me how it showed west the other night.

[Elandiel BernElve]

It is a space station after all, maybe someone accidentally pressed an ancient "ignite drives" button back there that night;) to test it once every 10.000 years

Kind of makes me wonder actually, if the moon is brought here does it have a drive?

On 17.july 2010 around 22.30- 23.00 local time (GMT+1) me and a friend were outside my house, because of a very special sunset.
There were some clouds, but the horizon to west was open, and the colours were amazing and strong in deep red and purple, and
it was like the whole air was saturated with that colour light, so it was like our bodys were glowing. The scenery was a bit magic.
As the sun went down behind the horizon, the open sky to west, northwest, was a light, bright, and strong turquoise with variations.
Then the moon appeared, like out of thin air, over a 10 second period. Immediately something struck me as different and strange.
The moon was half, straight upright, but looked larger, and the surface (reflection) seemed unusual, - and it was directly to the west.
I pointed it out to my friend by pointing to south and asking: should not the moon be more over there ? (seen from southwest Norway)
This was something that I immediately felt, and I fast checked the local newspaper the next day to see if anyone commented on this,
or just the uncommonly colourful and special sunset. Seemed to be only the normal state of things reported there.
When I find a compass I can measure the moons position (direction, or angle, from here) at the time, and post it here.

From the Web Wisdom, the answer is: "moon yes has a drive," inside, but i was brought with the help of a asteroid.. " the asteroid then left of course.. perhaps Halley boop . eh oh convenient , that comet is always visiting us.

I got a compass, and have now measured the angle to were the moon
was positioned on the 17. july 2010, as mentioned in post #11 above.
...
Place: close to Bergen, Norway.
Time: Evening 22.30 - 23.00. Timezone GMT+1
Angle: 250-265 degrees west, moon position, relatively low in the skye.

Theese facts are and that also my friend can witness.
Am a bit embarrassed not to know if this was normal, but
there was something strange about that whole evening.
On the 21.july here was a clear sky and the moon were in
the more familiar area of 200-220 degrees south at 01.30 AM.
...
Will try to make a moon-log, and keep an eye on the skye
from time to time. Maybe more people can do this.

Found this comment on the "Hollow Earth" thread, post #14 from Tuza in Australia:

I don't know if I would be certain of google coordinates any more concerning true north and so on;
every night I go outside I am amazed where the moon resides from one 24 hour period to the next.
I think it has shifted a bit but I am not technical minded. Just mho.

[shadowstalker]

I thought the earth pole shifted by 3 inches, this year, would that put a miss measure on a few things?

[Ammit]

Well I have been watching the moon for years, always had a fasination with it, and it does look different.
Look at this pic, every time I have looked at the moon it looked like this: http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/Business/images-3/the-moon.jpg look at the crater almost at the bottom just right of middle...
Now last night and tonight it looks as it does now. the same crater is middle left....

[Ammit]

Hi all

I really believe the moon looks different and looks like it is beginning to wane on the top. The usual shades of the moon also look different, I dont know about the rest of the world but if you are in the UK and have the moon visible, brave the cold and take a look.

Blessings

[joedjemal]

Might be a partial lunar eclipse it's around full

[Gone002]

yeah bro i hear you, my word its cold in the uk and Ireland

[Ammit]

Celt..

Did you notice any changes or am I simply going mad.......

[witchy1]

Ammit, I keep looking at it - there IS something different about it. Dont know what it is tho

[Gone002]

The moon looked like it had more blemishes on it and it was also more oval, maybe im going mad lol

[Ammit]

It looks as though it has turned, I dont have a telescope "yet" and cant find my binocliers so cant give more details. It looks to me like it has rotated more to the left..

[xm15e2]

I gave it a look around a month ago, between snows.Through my spotting scope, wich isnt amazeing but if i remember correctly it is still 20x to 60x variable zoom.

The biggest thing i noticed were how strange the craters and mountains looked around the edges..I could see all the detail vividly, but all the way around the diameter it seemed like a round ball with a picture printed on it.Could only see the changes in elevation in the body of the moon but not the edges.

[9eagle9]

The moon has been behaving oddly for a couple of years. For a period of a few weeks it wouldn't be in its proper expected phase, (I began really noticing it after the June 07 lunar eclipse) Then it would go back to normal. Just a few weeks ago I went to go check on the moon and expected it to be at highest point for the night and it was gone entirely. I have been watching the moon for a very long time so while I am inclined to think I'm going crazy too many other people are noticing this too. I watch the moon (and sun) rise and set according to landmarks on my property. Due to the seasonal drift the rise and set will move a few degrees back and forth depending on the season but this is just too too out of sync.

[bluestflame]

maybe with the reduction of the magnetics on earth what prevents it from rotating (the moon) has reduced effect

¤=[Post Update]=¤

and also affects its stable orbit

[9eagle9]

Or possibly as we become a bit more into our own we are finally able to observe something that has been happening all along.....?

[witchy1]

perhaps they are releasing the quarantine round earth????? Is that what the rocket today went up for--------to stop them???

[BonaDea444]

Very interesting observations and thought processes going on in this thread. I'm in the U.S. and will definitely keep my eyes attuned to the flux of the moon and post here if I notice any high strangeness. It's currently cloudy and snowing here and the moon is a waning gibbous in Scorpio.

Already the Moon does not rise at the same time of the day and the Moon will follow a trajectory with the Sileil throughout the year. In relation to where I live, I notice at the time of the Full Moon, the Moon rises in the same place. I have to wait until late in the evening to hope to see the Moon facing the balcony, otherwise the Moon is on the other side and to see it, I would have to get out of the house.
