[–] MechanicalJester@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (3 children) Have they explained why pictures of the moon taken from Sydney Australia are upsidedown from pictures of the moon taken in NYC? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Selmafudd@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago As a Sydneysider I can confirm our photos are the right way up permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago* Wouldn't you sort of expect that in a spotlight-style moon? I say sort of, because what you'd actually expect, at least if I'm picturing it correctly, is that the moon would be rotated by about 130°. To be fully upside down you'd want to be off the coast of South America. And even then it'd be a rotation of 180°, which is not the same as a reflection. diagram permalink fedilink source parent [+] Summzashi@lemmy.one 0 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
