Moon Face Tilt
Mar 7, 2004

The 45° rotation of the face is substantiated by photos from Wisconsin, same lattitude. If a hemisphere flip is a 180° change to the Moon face, then moving to the Equator is half that or a 90° rotation. Since Spokane and Wisconsin are at a lattitude approximately 45° north of the Equator, a 23° tilt would put the Moon face rotation at half of that, or 45°.  

Moon Face Observations

Biloxi, Mar 7: Big, beautiful yellow moon rose last night. It seemed to traverse ENE to WSW as it went. Note: transit noted is for a Moon on the old Ecliptic plane with a tilted Earth.

Spokane, Mar 7: The moon appears to have rotated counter clockwise by about 45 degrees. The reading I've done on the Internet this evening shows that my view from the Northern Hemisphere, here in Spokane Wa. seems to be the view that I would see from somewhere near the Equator. The folks in the Southern Hemisphere have an upside-down view from ours. The feature that makes up the man in the moons left eye, on the right side of the moon, is now on the top of the moon. Note: 45 rotation of the face substantiated by photo from Wisconsin, same lattitude. If a hemisphere flip is a 180° change to the Moon face, then moving to the Equator is half that or a 90° rotation. Since Spokane and Wisconsin are at a lattitude approximately 45° north of the Equator, a 23° tilt would put the Moon face rotation at half of that, or 45°.
