last evening when driving home from the city (AAlesund) i noticed that the new moon was "upside down" the earths shadow were on the topside so we had a smiling moon,i have never seen this before here in Norway only on the other side of earth Egypt, Saudi Arabia) and the earth shadow covered so much of the moon that it was only a tiny tiny that was showing.. i wonder if PX is near enough or in between the sun/earth so that it can cast its shadow on the moon. Ihave always liked the moon and spent many hours looking at it dreaming about sitting there looking down....
and i have never ever seen it that way before,90` off giving me a smile..

However the photographs in the above threads are useless in showing the actual inclination of the moon since one can not see the horizon in the pictures.
I called Ingemar Lundström at Lunds University, senior Lecturer at Lunds University, dep. of astronomy and astrophysics.
He said that if I were correct in my observation that does not make any sense because it should be geometricly impossible, unless the axis of the earth had shifted. My sentiments exactly...
He seemed like a really nice fellow, Ingemar; and he showed interest in recieving photographic evidence.
Here is his contact information if you would like to come in contact with Ingemar.

so anyway after reading this...whilst walking my dog later in the evening...low and behold YES the moon was smiling the lighted area was at the bottom of the moon...the shaded area was on top!!!
So I decided to do some research and found that YES something is up...!!!
This is what the moon should look like in the Northern hemisphere!!
Just check Feb 2010...
