Eli5 Moon looks different in each hemisphere?

859 views

I live in Australia and when the moon isn’t full it always appears to fill up from the bottom up. So a new moon looks like a croissant with the curved side facing down. But on northern hemisphere flags like Turkey for example it appears as a croissant standing up with the curve facing left. Does the moon appear to wax and wane from top to bottom or left to right in different parts of the world?

I had a girlfriend from Australia. One night, camping out way out somewhere in Queensland, the sky was incredible. The moon was coming up over a low mountain to the east.

I said, “it’s weird. Where’s the man🌚?

She flipped out and told me I was a child and to grow up.

Honestly, in the northern hemisphere I can see a specific ugly, punched in the face man. It took a while to figure out that I needed to stand on my head and then look at the moon.

Later, I got into yoga.

I think she was upset because we were “camping out” because I brought her there with a shitty car.
