|    Change of mares positions on the moon?    |
|    22 Jun 18 13:54:01    |
      From: tmhomestead@gmail.com              I have spent hours researching this, and my Googlefu is broke.       I have noticed by viewing photos of the moon on similar dates taken from       different spots on Earth that the position of the mares, specifically Mare       Crisium, is inconsistent.        A fellow in Germany has a June 2015 photo showing Mare Crisium high near the 1       o'clock position on the face of the moon. My June 2018 photo shows it at the 3       o'clock position. However, he has a November 2016 photo that shows it in the       same position as        my June 2018 photo.       I've looked into the 6.7 deg axial tilt of the moon, seasonal (on Earth)       variations, and can find no explanation for this difference. I am at N 48       latitude, and he is at N 59 latitude. Not enough to account for us having a       significantly different        perspective of the moon.       Anyone care to explain how Mare Crisium can wander all over the face of the       moon?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
