[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 365358, member: 9240"] That's the thing - [I]everything[/I] I'm reading says it doesn't change that way. We are rotating at a constant longitude and the moon is rotating in an almost perfect geosynchronous manner with the earth, so it doesn't change orientation. I get that it does look different in different parts of the world, but in one part of the world it always looks the same - at least that's what I'm reading. So, if that's the case, outside of differences in camera orientation (ie. was Jim's shot taken vertically?!) there's nothing I can find that explains a 90 degree moon rotation in 2 degrees of latitude.
