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 emigrated to Aus from UK. I saw a lunar eclipse. I saw with my own eyes the shadow of the Earth move from bottom-left to top-right; neat! When I saw all the lunar eclipse stuff from the Northern hemisphere friends, they all showed it moving from top-right to bottom-left! They were taking photographs standing upside-down!! 😆
