   Moon is naturally visible on the whole Moon-facing hemisphere of Earth.   
   So it is possible to see in those places usually at the same time (*). But   
   it   
   wouldn't be visible for example at Pacific Ocean until later that day.   
      
   (*) Only if Moon is really south, in summer, it might not be visible   
   everywhere in Europe.
