Twenty Moons (APOD 3 Jan 2007)

Post by Trellita » Wed Jan 03, 2007 6:31 pm

I would like to know the following:

I know that because of the moon's rotation and revolution, we on earth always see the same side of the moon. But, does someone living in the Caribbean see a different angle of the moon than someone living in New York?

:) 2007 January 3 Pictures of twenty full moons. Just a neat thing to observe. View the entire page in stereo by letting you eyes cross. Some moons come out of the page while others recede.

They would see a slightly different view at their latitude but only to the portions of a degree given that the moon is so far away.

look at them really close and you will see minute differences too due to Lunar Wobble.
