So Mods please keep this thread on the front page to satisfy Manhater's flag urges

I want to let you in on a little secret. Maybe you will understand.. But first are you saying that 9 year old children in school are not being taught the facts? So are they being educated with lies and shortchanged when it comes to scientific facts by their teachers? Or are you saying the teachers don't know that what they are teaching is inaccurate and not scientific? And as far as "Observation" I think I made it clear that I have observed first hand what I posted or I wouldnt have posted it. Now you can believe what you want. I know what I am seeeing and I wish you would address the links I have provided. Explain to us why the links are inaccurate.. One other thing for those who may be listening. I am not talking about the path the moon travels through and sets in, after rising. I am talking about the Fact that A boat moon is only viewable from the equator within 20 degress north or south of it. Now I know and so do the writers of the link you provided and I find it strange that now they are claiming that this is a lower 48 state normality and the UK and Europe Etc.. I mean lets just say its everywhere. Now what? Its not normal and all the rewriting and cover up you want to believe and push due to your whatever it is that makes you do it doesnt matter to me.. I don't need someone telling me that The Moon rises in a stnding crescent and can set that same day as a bowl moon. Once again. It happens every other month at 36 degrees here in Las Vegas for the past two years and several times a month.. They claim it is only a few times a year due to tilt? So is the Earth tilting back and forth in a 12 hour day? I rises normal and sets bowl and it did again tonight for the 4th night in a row..Lastly the comment by one of the mods, that the moon appeared to rotate 45 degrees but went on to say thats just from our perspective is again absoloutly wrong. The aspect of the moon would be consistantly the same for that day.. even if it were off kilter the next or the day before. The aspect should be constant for each rising and setting in a single days venue..edit on 9-10-2011 by CherubBaby because: (no reason given)

I'm not even claiming to be smart. I just have general knowledge and the capacity to do research on a subject before declaring huge heavenly bodies have somehow magically changed and I'm the only human that realized it. I mean there are only thousands of amateur astronomers out there and billions of humans that watch the sky. This is really just a common sense/street smarts/gullibility/ego trip issue at play.
And the thing is you do this in nearly every thread I have ever seen you post on as I tend to remember the doom sayers avatars because they are so incredibly annoying. You continue to deny facts yet you are on a site whose motto is deny ignorance.
I think its time for you to see the light and enter the world of do some research!~!

First off the moon does not rotate....
.... the same side of the moon always facing the earth.

Well then, you should be gently corrected on this mistake, to improve your level of comprehension about the science of astronomy:
First off the moon does not rotate....
Yes, it does. It rotates about its own axis once every approximately 28 days.
That is why
.... the same side of the moon always facing the earth.
As it orbits the Earth, it takes approximately 28 to 29 days, per orbit. Therefore, we see only the hemisphere that is facing us...actually, we see a bit more than that, more than 50%. (Because its period of rotation is not exactly matched to its period of orbit). This is known as "gravitational lock", sometimes called "tidal locking"....and is very common in our Solar System, with other moons around other planets.
You can research this online, in many, many locations.

Yes because if you use a flash, your camera will change the white balance, giving you different colors.

here is an article about white balance and flash ..... hmmmmpf, and only NASA manipulates their images, right???
www.kenrockwell.com...
...our moon was captured by the earths gravity and was believed to be a much larger body that crashed into the earth which has given us a larger earth then before this collision.
Also the moon was much closer to us during its early years and the earth had a 10 hour day this was about 4.5 billion years ago since that time the moon has receeded from us and because of this has slowed our rotation by 14 hours. As this continues our days will lengthen as well but this is happening at such a slow pace (The lengthening of Earth's day by 1.7 milliseconds each century) that we will never see a difference in our lifetimes.
