It has been kindly submitted by Dave Simpson, the very talented guitarist.
Dave's photo was taken in Lincolnshire, about 150 miles from me.
So the question is, would Dave see a different Moon to us? Let's look at the data:
Time c.17:40.
Lincolnshire (Dave's photo):
Humidity & pressure: 86%, 1026 mbar
Distance 246,515 miles.
Waxing crescent phase.
200 degrees S compass point (azimuth).
Altitude 13.4 degrees.
My photo:
Humidity & pressure: 86%, 1026 mbar
Distance 246,530 miles.
Waxing crescent phase.
198 degrees S compass point (azimuth).
Altitude 14.6 degrees.
The angles (azimuth and altitude) would not make a (practical) difference to how we see the Moon.
The distance wouldn't have a difference either because of the huge scales involved.
The weather would make a difference beacuse it could affect the clarity and colour but, amazingingly, the weather was the same in both locations!
So, Dave would not see a different Moon to me!
Here are some links to Dave; check out his music, it's great!
