Our is Sun is now beginning it's Galactic alignment ...instead of moving in a parallel straight line it's moving south down into another parallel plane which is why the current moon phases they are on the bottom ...that's my Theory
In the movies, cartoons and video games, the only moon phases seem to be crescent and full moon for some reason. Rarely a half or new moon. Never gibbous moon.
i really like the "CROISANT" thing but you are wrong cause if on the first moon phase it's a waxing crescent moon and it's on the left side i'm just telling you a fact so if the moon phase is on the left and you imagine a line in the middle you can see a letter is a letter "D" it means that it is dying and if it's on the right side and you put the line in the middle again there's a letter too a "B" it means it is borning
Mel Gibson should watch this! (Even if the maker has caused confusion by failing to explain why he had to make the Moon orbit in the wrong direction).
Great depiction of the phases of the moon...however, the pictures were exactly backwards. You had the revolution in the wrong direction. We posted this comment in my Science Class. My teacher actually wrote it.
Attention everybody! This video is a crap! Use it only as a help to imagine the situation, but do not use it to study the motions and positions, to solve excercises, or to learn it anyway. I've warned you.
The angle between the plane of the Sun around the Earth, and the plane of the Moon running around the Earth is more than 5 degrees. The view angle of the Moon on the sky is half degree. So if the Moon is on the line of the Sun and Earth as seen FROM ABOVE, then there can be degrees size difference of positions on the sky as seen from the Earth.
@CogitoErgoCogitoSum That would be true if the orbital planes of the Earth and the Moon were perfectly aligned. However, they are not. So lunar eclipses are quite rare (instead of being monthly) and solar eclipses are rarer, largely because the Moon casts a smaller shadow.
this is accurate to Australia, so yes. this video was made in calibration to the southern Hemisphere. it is very good and an excellent learning tool that i will use Great Job
@samsmall12 The Moon orbits in the same direction as the Earth's spin. How does being in Australia make the animation correct (even if the phases are correct)?
@samsmall12 True. . .Accurate from "Down Under" perspective. So, why not a nice Ausie Accent on audio?! ( Comment brought to you in part by Vegemite )
@Johnnylightning93 Waxing actually means increasing in size, and Waning is decreasing. And the forming a D is just wrong, the only thing the movie got wrong was the "wax on, wane off" thing at the end.
I know all I'm saying is that the picture of the moon is backwards, waxing is increasing, but the moon is shown the wrong way, when they say waxing they are showing 3rd quarter and when they ay waning they show a 1st quarter.
My sixth graders are smarter than you! We know the difference between waning and waxing and they also know which direction the moon and earth revolve. The theory was nice, but it was wrong. Good try anyway!
There's a mountain of evidence that the Apollo moon missions were faked. I posted a partial summary of it on a science forum. Google "The Naked Scientists". In the "New Theories" section of the forum there's a thread entitled "Did We Land on the Moon?". The summary is on page 15. It's the 7th post from the top.
People who still think they went to the moon simply haven't seen the hoax evidence yet.
My appreciation still goes out to you for this fun & very informative video. It helped my kids visualize what I was explaining about our Science lesson. And hey....no harm done! The errors that were pointed out are negotiable.We were able to sort it out on our next lesson anyway. The merits of this video far outweigh its errors.
okay in the new moon phase we assume that we are facing the side of the moon not recieving sunlight. which means we are facing the same direction the light side is. so how do we "see" a new moon at night. as it is explained new moons should only be experienced in day time because they are on the sun side of the earth. PLEASE someone explain this
I asked myself the same question, but then I read that the plane of the Moon's orbit around the Earth is titled by about 5 degrees with respect to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. So when a full Moon occurs, the Earth doesn't cast its shadow directly on the Moon, or else you'd see an eclipse (I've found all this on Wikipedia, check it out for further info).
New moon phase are never seen at night. As you say, a new moon happens when our satellite is very close to the sun´s disk, which happens during day time. If you want to see the new moon phase, you must block the sun´s luminosity first by using a coronoscope, and second, by taking this coronoscope (which produces an artificial solar eclipse) into outerspace, away from our athmosphere to avoid light scattering. This way the new moon will show up as a lighted up rim.
The motion of the moon should be counterclockwise. This video is reversing the different moon phases. I agree with cajunace. This video only confuses the viewer.
Well, it depends on where you observe the phases from. If you do it from the Northern hemisphere, then you got a point. The video shows the phases as seen from the Southern hemisphere though.
I agree with you, but still if you are located in the southern hemisphere, then from above the south pole the Earth in your video should also be shown to rotate clockwise instead of counterclockwise.
@ciscotie It depends on whether you're viewing from the northern or southern hemisphere. It looks as though the video is made for those viewing from a perspective in the southern hemisphere.
@cherryvanillacola It depends on whether you're viewing from the northern or southern hemisphere. It looks as though the video is made for those viewing from a perspective in the southern hemisphere.
BIG MISTAKE!!! While the video does a nice job explaining how the moon looks from earth, the video shows the moon going clockwise around the earth rather than counter-clockwise making all of the phases backwards. For example, the first quarter moon should be lit up on the right side, not the left side.
Some people are so one-eyed they can only see the universe from their own point of view. For me (in Australia), the Moon phases (C-O-D) are EXACTLY right if I assume that the video is showing things from a SOUTHERN-hemisphere perspective. (Just imagine that you are looking down on Earth from above the south pole. I think What's wrong with the video is (a) the narrator's American accent, and (b) the Earth is spinning the wrong way (it spins clockwise when viewed from above the south pole).
P.S. You can tell that the whole thing is shot from a Southern Hemisphere point of view because the Moon (which orbits the Earth from west to east) is shown here circling the Earth in a clockwise motion! :-)
Very nice vid on mooon phases. It is accurate for S. Hemis. only. Please include the advisory info for Northern Hemisphere people: Up in MIchigan, USA. where I currently teach, the "wax on, wipe off" would be from right to left as the phases for us up here fill from right [west] to left [east]. My students didn't catch it right away. They wondered why there was a "mistake." T-You for great post!
"the way the moon rotates" - I'm guessing you mean the way the moon rotates around the earth. The moon moves eastward in the sky appox 13 degrees per day. As I said before, if you were a million miles above the north pole and looked back at the earth and moon, the moon would be rotating counter clockwise around the earth.
there is something wrong with the animation: the moon is in Synchronous rotation; a.k.a the same hemisphere of the moon should always be facing earth, but in the animation this does not happen (*note the one crater on the moon in the animation; at new moon it is not facing the earth, meaning that if it were synchronous in rotation you would never see the crater facing the earth. however we do in the animation, during the full phase). apart from this the video is extremely helpful.
thanks this really helped me a lot with moon phases/tides, etc. But I got 1 question. How do you know what tide it is by its positioning. I got a 8th grade g/t science test tomorrow and need help. respond??
basically what it says is "If you are on the coast and the moon is directly overhead, you should experience a high tide. If the moon is directly overhead on the opposite side of the planet, you should also experience a high tide.
During the day, the Earth rotates 180 degrees in 12 hours. The moon, meanwhile, rotates 6 degrees around the earth in 12 hours. The twin bulges and the moon's rotation mean that any given coastal city experiences a high tide every 12 hours and 25 minutes or so"
Okay, i did a little more research and this is what i got. The apparent difference in direction happens because observers in the north are looking toward the south as they view the moon. The 'upper' edge of the moon is the northernmost edge, and the lower edge is the southernmost edge. Observers in the southern hemisphere are looking at the same moon, but for them the 'upper' edge of the moon is the southern edge. The lower edge is the northernmost edge.
The answer depends from where you look at the earth. For example, If you go to the north pole and then go straight up a few million miles and look back at the earth you will see that everything is counter-clockise: the moon revolves counterclockwise around the Earth, the Earth spins on it's axis counterclockwise, and the Earth ( and the other planets also ) revolve counter clockwise around the Sun. Everythings CLOCKWISE if you look back at the earth from millions of miles below the south pole.
This is totally backwards! look it up! A Waxing Crescent Moon will show the bright side of the moon on the right, and the dark shadow on the left! If you play the video in reverse while listening to the audio in forward it might make more sense. Also the Moon should revolve around the Earth in the same direction as the Earths rotation. DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON YOUTUBE GUYS! This would be a great video if you corrected these errors.
Actually, the opposite is always true in the Southern Hemisphere. All the phases are backwards and the moon appears upside down. It all depends on your perspective.
Yep hypercolor is correct. It is also the as sundials. In the northern hemisphere the shadow moves clockwise and the northern hemisphere the shadow moves anti-clockwise.
we can see the moon between 45 degree and 315 degrees. 1/4 of the circle it is in absence. This isn´t equivalent to what we see... and according to this, we should pass it every day, but we dont. when it infront of the earth, we should only see the dark part... and what about the shadows ?
Shouldn´t it throw a shadow, when it is between sun and earth ?
Just like the people on the planet your video is not perfect. But Just like the people on the planet if you accept it for what it is you can appreciate it despite it's failings. Thankyou
waw. i'm learning this in science class, and it is so confusing. everything about science is so confusing. especially the phases of the moon thats what gets to me the most
They have it backwards right from the start! A Waxing Cresent Moon should show the bright side of the moon on the right, and the dark shadow on the left! My 9 year old could school the makers of this video.
yes the moon's eclipse is not aligned with the earth's eclipse. That means that even though the moon is "between" the earth and sun it isn't really blocking the view of the sun - it's higher/lower (what is really up and down in space?) than the earth
I'm very sorry but I made a mistake the term eclipse is wrong. I meant the path that moon (and any other planet) is doing around the earth. I don't really know the expression :(
I'm sorry, but (even though this is a well made video) you have the Earth spinning counterclockwise while the Moon is revolving around the Earth in a clockwise direction. This is impossible due to gravitational forces. The Moon should revolve around the Earth in the same direction as the Earth's rotation. And now we ALL know what you mean by "These are not literal depictions."
If you can correct this your video will be perfect.

This is totally backwards! look it up! A Waxing Crescent Moon will show the bright side of the moon on the right, and the dark shadow on the left! If you play the video in reverse while listening to the audio in forward it might make more sense. Also the Moon should revolve around the Earth in the same direction as the Earths rotation. DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON YOUTUBE GUYS! This would be a great video if you corrected these errors.

Actually, the opposite is always true in the Southern Hemisphere. All the phases are backwards and the moon appears upside down. It all depends on your perspective.

Yep hypercolor is correct. It is also the as sundials. In the northern hemisphere the shadow moves clockwise and the northern hemisphere the shadow moves anti-clockwise.

Nice! But the earth should rotate in the same direction that the moon orbits and in the same direction that the earth orbits...

we can see the moon between 45 degree and 315 degrees. 1/4 of the circle it is in absence. This isn´t equivalent to what we see... and according to this, we should pass it every day, but we dont. when it infront of the earth, we should only see the dark part... and what about the shadows ?
Shouldn´t it throw a shadow, when it is between sun and earth ?
This is 2D flat earth dadaism

Just like the people on the planet your video is not perfect. But Just like the people on the planet if you accept it for what it is you can appreciate it despite it's failings. Thankyou

waw. i'm learning this in science class, and it is so confusing. everything about science is so confusing. especially the phases of the moon thats what gets to me the most

They have it backwards right from the start! A Waxing Cresent Moon should show the bright side of the moon on the right, and the dark shadow on the left! My 9 year old could school the makers of this video.

how come when the moon goes behind the earth, the sun still shines on it... is the moon higher than the earth then!?

yes the moon's eclipse is not aligned with the earth's eclipse. That means that even though the moon is "between" the earth and sun it isn't really blocking the view of the sun - it's higher/lower (what is really up and down in space?) than the earth

I'm very sorry but I made a mistake the term eclipse is wrong. I meant the path that moon (and any other planet) is doing around the earth. I don't really know the expression :(

It's orbit!!! :)
teaastraea 4 years ago
I'm sorry, but (even though this is a well made video) you have the Earth spinning counterclockwise while the Moon is revolving around the Earth in a clockwise direction. This is impossible due to gravitational forces. The Moon should revolve around the Earth in the same direction as the Earth's rotation. And now we ALL know what you mean by "These are not literal depictions."
If you can correct this your video will be perfect.
