I don't know what you guys are viewing but it's like 2 am here in Mississippi, clear skies, beautiful southern night but I see no difference in the moon. No difference at all. I have been looking like crazy.
The only thing I notice is it is bright like it was the last solar flare we had some weeks ago.

You guys talking about me behind my back?
I've been off tracking down something to satisfy the conditions of my last post. And, success...
First, a picture taken in Sweden in 2008 (possibly 2009...it took some effort, with no obvious date on the page, but the source has copyrights up to 2008, and the page featured an ad from 2008, so that year seems a best-guess):
Sweden - 2008
Second, a picture taken in Sweden in 2011:
Sweden - 2011
Any difference?
Any at all?edit on 19-3-2011 by CLPrime because: (no reason given)

No mystery then, it's just Lunar libration.
Look at the picture of the Moon.
Libration - Wikipedia
Also, your position on Earth will affect your perspective of the Moon in relation to a Moon map.

The libration models posted don't show it being as far off as it currently is..
I'm asking a genuine question.

Wrong. Whats wrong. It's not going to blow up, it's not going to leave orbit. If the earths axis has chnaged? so what. The man in the moon has had a facelfit.
What is seriously different that actually affcts our lives today tommorrow or next year with this interesting 'revelation'?
It's like saying my cats left ey changed colour? So what, the world isn't goign to end.
