Can the Moon be upside down?

When you think about how the Moon looks in the night sky, you might never
have considered that it looks different to people in other parts of the
world. But really, perspective is all relative.

Thank you for forwarding the story about "Can the Moon be upside down?"
I had never given much thought to what the moon looks like in the
southern hemisphere since I haven't been south of the equator. I need to
get out more!

You don't even have to go south of the equator to see a difference. If
you go from say northern Quebec to Cuba, there is an easily noticeable difference.

But you see, you don't really have to get out more, following
sci.space.science suffices.
