What's sad, is that depending on time zones/where you move the picture doesn't hold true

[-] Carnelian@lemmy.world 30 points 8 months ago

Well, it appears to be a crude drawing of the US state Oregon. The uppermost city is probably Portland, and there’s a bunch of small towns located south and slightly east that are 4 hours from Portland

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

haha I am thinking Medford or Klammath Falls

Good ol' Methford

I mean, if someone moves to the other side of the planet, you won't both be able to see the moon at the same time, but at the end of the day, there is only one moon. We all see the same moon.

[-] purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 9 points 8 months ago

Opposite sides can see the moon simultaneously. It will be for a shorter period, but for all two points on the earth there should be at least a single time per moon orbit that the moon is visible by both at the same instant.

The moon is reversed if the other person is seeing it on the other side of the planet, so technically not the same moon face.

Clarification:

I did not mean the dark side, we can't see that. I meant the orientation. Like this:

Moon orientation.

Some goes with east and west.

[-] HeckGazer@programming.dev 7 points 8 months ago

That's... that's not how it works...

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I meant the orientation we see.

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 8 months ago

Really? I thought nobody saw the dark side

[-] absentbird@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

They don't, this person is wrong.

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I did not mean the dark side.

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

We can all see the dark side every month. That's what new moon is. It's the far side we can never see from Earth, since the moon is tidally locked. I think only a couple dozen Apollo astronauts have seen the far side with their own eyes.

the dark side is the side that doesnt get hit by the sun. That's the only difference there.
