The Moon is Upside Down

The Moon is Upside Down

The moon as seen from the Southern Hemisphere. source: Wikipedia (rotated). When you are in the southern hemisphere, the moon looks upside down. When I came back to the US from living in Australia for 4 years, I published a poster with a picture of the moon on in and I placed it “upside down” - someone pointed it out and I looked at the moon and said “the moon is upside down.” This was true - in the Northern Hemisphere - but to people living in the Southern Hemisphere the moon appears “upside down.” I was shocked, but the claim was true - in the Northern Hemisphere! But to Australians and other people living in places in the Southern Hemisphere the moon appears “upside down.”
