| Anonymous Coward User ID: 14193850 United States01/15/2014 10:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its cute to see you guys try to troll this subject. The local news used to show sunrise, sunset, moon phase and high tide and low tide here in CT. They dont show these anymore because they do not match up with moon phases from the past. Fact... there is something up with moon position and it phases. If you disagree, please explain why the moon rises too early constantly. What made the moon change its position in its rotation? Not to mention the aura around the moon or when there is a slight cloud cover, a rainbow effect aura. |

User ID: 52473267 Canada01/15/2014 11:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In successive 28 day night skys the Moon can be observed progressing from fully lit, through partially lit, crescent, and completely dark. Everyone, including atmospheric scientists, astronomers, and goo-goo eyed romantics simply assume what they see of the Moon phases makes logical sense. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47089079 However, if one takes in hand three representative spheres as the Sun, Moon, and Earth, and attempts to position each of them to explain the crescent and dark moon phases seen at night from the dark side of Earth, they cannot do so. After multiple attempts, it will be appearent there is no way they can show how a moon less than half lit can be observed high up in Earth's night sky. Moonless nights cannot be demonstrated with the three spheres. Yet it is so observed. Do not confuse lunar eclipses with Moon phases. Mankind truly is conceptually duped regarding the Moon until this post. Lol.  :malefav: I love this place!! |

You're contradicting yourself. Please show where the moon is contradicting its expected location and phase. Date please, be specific. Explain what the moon "should" look like vs what you claim it "will" look like. |
