  • thats no moon, its a space station

  • we get a "u" shaped crescent moon here on Guam..guess it depends on where you are

  • where i live its more of a c than a U

  • You sir, are awesome and the clips with your son at the end of video's are funny :)

  • Do garbage trucks play music instead of beeping in Taiwan? (4.39)

  • "almost means you suck" LMAO

  • thanks for the vroom vroom at the end!

  • Are you trying to get closer to the moon! x)

  • the reason is due to the position of the sun!! the position of the sun in relation to the moon is dependent upon the season and location you are on the earth!! @ 2:02) if you look a touch left and down from the moon you see venus, i believe it's venus!!

  • rack em up and I swear that just the other night the moon was a u but I'm in usa

  • haha nicee need for speed or what? :P!! and lmfaoooooo the end XD!

  • dude your such a great parent. and really im being serious keep up the good work man

  • du you live in cahina anyone??

  • Good way to toughen the kid up early! LOL Obviously the guy you were talking to was an idiot.

  • cool your mmons a u not a c well in england the moon is like :o oh waight i lied

  • @13mordeth love that ending! cant wait to use that on my kids!

  • You're editing your titles a lot lately...

  • hi I see your video

    you are live in Chungli ?

    I also live Chungli

  • M13 forgot to mention that the guy talked about in this video, suffered from breathing problems and depression because M13 REALLY wanted his winnings :P

  • The shape and orientation of the moon's "crescent" depends on relative the positions of the sun, the moon and the observer.

  • @criskity no sh*t Sherlock

  • @DeutschEagle Well, he did ask. Just answerin'.

  • The lit part of the moon is always towards the sun even from our perspective. As it gets closer to setting, the lit part will tilt downward. The effect will be greater at lower latitudes which explains why you notice it more in Taiwan than Canada.

  • @chitlitlah i think it might have more to do with the angle you look at it from ... for ex if you take a person on the north pole and put them on the south pole with out changing their orientation to the universe they would be standing on their head... but i could be wrong ;)

  • @GregKJr Angle is pretty much it. Near the equator, the ecliptic (the line through the sky along which the sun travels and the planets and moon are close to) will be roughly perpendicular to the horizon and the lit part of the moon will be towards the sun which is below or above it. Near the poles, the ecliptic is roughly parallel to the horizon, so the lit part of the moon will always be on the side pointing to the sun further along the horizon.

  • @chitlitlah by that reasoning in Australia we should get the effect of a "U" shaped moon even more so than Taiwan, but I've never seen anything like that.

  • @chitlitlah I live in maine and ive seen U shaped moons

  • @Killdown0 Only if you tilt your head at least 19 1/2 degrees.

  • In Asia the moon looks a noodle bowl

    In North America/Canada it's a cheese burger with a bite take out of it.

    Racist? Ummm No.

  • I'm in America or USA right now and its between a u and c flip and as soon as I saw it I thought of this vid and had to comment

  • Hahaha damn lol That last part there with JD halarious.

  • yea i noticed the same thing today its at like kind of a sideways u (or c) kinda weird.

  • this is all BLASPHEMY! no i did not have to Google a horrid attempt at spelling that to get the correct spelling.. :| if anyone was wondering... O_O

  • The moon has been acting strange for a about a year now. Nice to see people are finally looking up.

  • LOL! Careful.. he might smack you with the remote.

  • lol close captioning by a Taiwanese

  • why do the garbage trucks sound like ice cream vans?

  • @grabmygoobers Sounds like a good idea to me as I can hear IceCream trucks from within my house. But in Taiwan, it reminds you to get your trash ready rather than your wallet XD.

  • it means u suck!!!

  • I love you m13 but not in a dont-ask-dont-tell kind of way.

  • m13, love u but marijuana smoking dose not cause long term lung problems

  • @Bajadan23666 Not true no matter what or why you think it that is incorrect. Infact it actually can cause lung problems not lung cancer like the nasty as ciggarets but can cause that other shit that cigs cause don't know the name of it but yeah it's breathing related

  • "Karma's a bitch...was institutionalized(put in a mental hospital)"

    Kind of harsh, no?

  • It is basically because the plane that the moon rotates around the earth in is not the same that the earth spins in and latitudinal perspective.

  • Not kidding M13, but I was just asking my girlfriend, my friends and then a friend of a friend that was in the car, WHY IS THE MOON UPSIDE DOWN INSTEAD OF SIDEWAYS FOR A CRESCENT? And that is in MICHIGAN by the way that I'm asking this question. And now you do a video on it! YES! I win. So it doesn't just happen half way around the world. But still, my question remains...unanswered.

  • It's because it's winter in the northern hemisphere. the sun isn't directly behind where you are like it is in summer, so from east to west it appears as a 'U' instead of a 'C'. I can't really explain but basically the moon is the same you're just seeing it from a downward angle.

  • in short, the ")" is the moon and the direction of the line to the left is the perspective. In taiwan you're perspective of the moon is like ) - causing the u, while halfway up and more in the northern hemisphere your perspective is like ) \ and in the southern hemisphere is like ) / but with the slash marks not as slanted

  • you know what an almost means J.D. ?

    LOL!

  • I almost spat my beer onto my monitor thanks to that last part!!

  • The end of the video is the best

  • Viewing this I thought you'd might find this cool

    /watch?v=hoz5Q2rGQtQ

    It's not about the moon and the earth's tilt but it's on the topic of perspective.

  • @13mordeth if i ever win the lottery i would buy you a bike!

    just in case, which one would u want?

  • exactly a bet is a bet. nah well that guy who told u that about u being stupid about the moon. well Obviously he's the moron thinking he knows everything n wat has had a different views around the world like u have seen. N of course hes going to ignore u about the bet of the moon. Wat a lil girl about "ïm serious i'll bet u all rest of my money i earn" thats y for sure his best Bet haaaa is to ignore n forget the point that HE WAS WRONG. some PRIDE WOW WEN YUR WRONG YUR WRONG THATS IT.

  • The end video was priceless man! loved it! "Know what almost means? Means you suck" didn't catch the name of your son sorry, but ahh man :') I'm gonna have to start using that whenever I can!

  • @ShockWaveTom His name is Jade. =P

  • @SageNTitled Jade? I caught it as Jadi or pronounced as Jay-di.

  • @ShockWaveTom You pronounce it like that, but it spells Jade, or short, JD.

  • @SageNTitled Ahh, okay, makes much more sense now :D

  • love the garbage truck, you've shown it a couple times before but I always forget that's what is making the tune :D

  • It's because of the Earth's tilt. During the summer, it looks more like a c, and during the winter it looks more like a u. Because Earth's tilt stays the same, but the suns position changed relatively (also causing seasons). So when we move from one side of the sun to the other side, the tilt changes relatively, causing the apparent path of the moon to shift. Which cause it to look differently.

  • @stalker7d7 dude, did u just say the sun moved? the sun's in its saaame place forever im pretty convinced of that.. seasons happen because of the earth's tilt on its axis n the degree at which the suns rays fall to the center of the earth... thats why in and around the poles u get a time of year when its always night time and always day time.. what they teach in physics lessons these days..

  • @civic94fan No dude, I didn't say that. I said relatively. The suns position relative to the Earth changed. Comprehendo? And seasons don't happen because pf wjat degrees the suns light hits Earth, it's because the Earth is tilted. That means, on one side of the sun, the north hemisphere is closer to the sun, on the other side, it's further. Thus, Summer, and Winter (fall and spring in between).

    Also, the sun does move, along with our whole solar system, along with the galaxy.

  • @stalker7d7 Oh dear!

  • @RogueRiderUk Oh dear what? You another fool who didn't comprehend what I wrote? Read my last reply, see if you can understand that...

  • @stalker7d7 Oh dear oh dear!

  • @stalker7d7 I agreed, if anyone who understand the simple theory of relativity would know that everything freaking move!!

  • it means you suck...

  • Where's the M13 that I subbed to? The one that was a teacher, making minimum wage and good videos. Not moon faggotry. Stop being a bitch and blocking me for getting 1st comment too. If I were to make M13 vlogs, I'd talk about people like M13 that poke fun at others but get upset when I intellectually checkmate them.

  • @Xohr "...and blocking me for getting 1st comment..." yeah, that and the nature of your comment just shows us you're a whiny bitch.

  • oh by the way, the moon is a U shape only right now - its the same in NYC, US

  • yeah ive been taking pictures of it lately. you can also see jupiter and venus pretty well in the past few days - they're the biggest stars right next to the moon

  • Did you talk about that guy before? I think you said some time that the guy you came to Taiwan with was institutionalized, and maybe another guy you knew too. I hadn't watched those videos in quite a while though so I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the right thing or not.

  • That's no moon, that's a space station.

    Been a while since you've filmed a mountain run, I miss the hills.

  • Look up "Fake Moon"

  • You're wrong M13, here in the UK it's the shape of a penis

  • Comment removed

  • @DecadentDandycake Taiwan is in the southern hemisphere?

  • hmmmm are u developing an asian accent

  • U moon was in virginia on 27th on Jan :) first time i've seen one.

  • Chances are, his breathing disorder didn't come from the herb he smokes...just sayin...

  • Comment removed

  • @allabtMando yup, knowing on someone's door is downright impossible. Knocking on the other hand...

  • The U moon means it won't rain, because the "cup" will catch it.

  • i hear icecream truck @ 4:36

  • The moon is usually S shaped here in England.

  • Because the moon is drunk

  • Ehm... That guy in the mental asylum... He's probably sharing the asylum with at least 40 ex garbage collectors? Damn, hearing that tune for hours would cause me to break down and cry. Not to mention years. I thought it was a physically taxing job... But holy crap, they must be psychologically hard core as well.

  • I like the old video title better! haha

  • Ain't gambling illigal in Taiwan?

  • @galten123 Only if you get caught....

  • i am the same way with bets. tho people tend not to pay me when i win. for those guys i found a special place. its dark, cold and wet.

  • How do you know he got a breathing problem in taiwan? im just courious!

  • totally didn't expect the last part. got me laughing!

  • It was a U in Alabama last night too

  • Depends on the type of year, and your position on the surface of the planet.

  • @13mordeth

    yeah.. dumb question because its been bugging me for a while... does JD's name Stand for anything or am i just thinking about it the wrong way like an idiot?

  • @RandomFilmsUK JD stands for Jade

  • @RandomFilmsUK Jack Daniels.

  • @RandomFilmsUK Jade Dragon

  • U C U moon, I C C moon

  • LOL "a bet's a bet"

    Until someone develops a breathing disorder

  • i remember one time the when i was driving to moreno valley the moon was big and red

  • happening in dubai to 

  • Garbage truck with ice cream truck jingles..creepy.

  • @MrJohnnnW lol I was thinking the same thing as he rode by. I was wtf is up with that? I had to watch it twice to make sure that is what I thought it was.

  • @MrJohnnnW thats what they think of the ice cream down there

  • @MrJohnnnW

    At least it ain't a windowless van.

  • "Do you know what almost means? It means you suck." omg i started dieing laughing u r hillarious man

  • In southern hemisphere the moon is upside down

  • @SexyToshi how can you tell?

  • @sonnyman2000 Sorry I should have said it better, its not that moon is upside down, but it appears opposite to what M13 sees in southern hemisphere. From where I live in Australia, if you look up the sky the moon orbits northern sphere of the sky. In northern hemisphere it would orbit southern sphere. But in Taiwan, it probably orbits almost directly over head pretty much all year round because its pretty close to equator. Now if you move up to Hokkaido then there's significant difference.

  • @SexyToshi hmm i gotta go outside and find the moon here in norway sometime

  • you know i was thinking the same thing yesterday. weird

  • the moon looks like a z here

  • Looks exactly the same here.

  • I live in the philippines. Its also u. Goodevening m13. Close to philippines. Lol.

  • Great video of the moon!!!!!!!!!!

  • I've never noticed a U shaped moon in the UK

  • @K1LLAxxTEMTATION Me neither.

  • Love the definition of "almost"...

  • Do the garbage trucks play lullabys!?!?!

  • So m13 when did you get your first motorcycle?

  • 4:41 garbage truck :D

    reminde me a lot of things in Taiwan :)

  • Here in Holland its a I and L and O, S, T, H, E, G, A and M.

  • @silverhawkroman FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUU

  • awdad

  • It's a C where I live...

  • think its to do with whether your in the southern or northern hemisphere, plus the time of year.

  • Try to explain this: In Canada(or close to the poles) when you can see the moon and the sun at the same time, if you look at the moon you see that the angle the light hits it isn't in line with the position of the sun.

    It's simple but it takes a bit understanding of the physics.

  • @brutolf is it because light can act like a ray and a wave? and the volume of the sun?

  • @GregKJr You're just getting fooled by standing on the earth and you see the earth as a flat disc when it's in fact spherical. Imagine your self flying away from the earth backwards still looking at the moon and the sun, when you get far enough that you see the earth as a sphere in front of you then you'll probably get the picture.

  • LOLOL you know what almost means?.... It means you suck! :dadtrollface:

    

  • bacause in Asia you see the moon in different angel

  • @mjdmzn No! The earth is flat and is the center of the universe ;)

  • Comment removed

  • I like his yellow jumper

  • lol @ the end xD

  • i love that almost joke at the end, im using that from now on, cheers :D

  • Um it is a U in canada also...just depends on the time of year I think

  • @waderp Yeah....I know.....that's why I put that link in the video description.

  • Was that garbage truck playing music?

  • @bennett346 - Herro. Garbage trucks play music in Taiwan to notify residents that they're coming by. A few times a week, people will hear the music, gather their trash, and wait along the sidewalk to throw it in the passing truck. (All this instead of having large communal dumpsters.)

    When I was a kid they played "Fur Elise." Kinda nice.

  • @OriginalTessaMessa i like it :)

  • The moon does change depending on where you are. For example if you took a picture from the UK, then one from Australia. The two pictures would be the same but the southern hemisphere one would be upside down.

  • More JD Clips!!! They're always funny.

  • i saw the u moon at my work pretty cool thought it was strange

  • The moon has been a U over in England this past week

  • What do you think about cafe racers?

  • are there many road fatalities in Taiwan? it looks super dangerous and scary on those roads, is it as dangerous as it looks?

  • do you know what almost means jd? it means you suck! LMFAO!!!!!

  • In NY the moon has been like that too

  • The crescent on the moon appears closer to vertical as you approach the equator.

    What's the status of casino gambling in Taiwan?

  • was that garbage truck playing ice cream music, or are our ice cream trucks playing garbage truck music?

  • @sbslusher the garbage truck... its to let peopl know they are coming to pick up trash. There are no wheeling bins in Taiwan you just throw your trash in the truck.

  • @sbslusher yeah the garbage trucks play like ice-cream van music... its also the same in japan.

  • @sbslusher That real mean of the garbage trucks to play ice cream music. There is going to be some sad kids when they go outside and find a garbage truck instead of ice cream truck.

  • That's funny you mentioned that, I thought the same thing when noticed the moon a couple days ago. And that star next to it seemed brighter than usual too. Glad i'm not the only one, thanks for the link. Am curious now :D

  • Hahaha the ending was priceless.

  • So do the trash trucks there play the ice cream man song?

  • Ill help u collect lets go!

  • When the moon is near the sunset, it's shaped like a U. The points of the crescent always point away from the sun.

  • a bet's a bet

  • "you know what almost means J.D? It means you suck." lol

  • @MargaritasAntesPorco Well not really yes u have a point but what if it come in surprise or both of the gamblers have no knowledge thats wen probability comes to play

  • gambling only makes sense (to me at least) when a person is in the position of influencing the outcome...like with the pool story. Why gamble, say, against a slot machine or a lottery ticket? Seems to me thats a case of emotion ("feeling" lucky) overcoming reason (the odds never change...they will always be miniscule--like picking a needle from a haystack)

  • Haha, this video was pretty funny to me. I also had a bet a few years ago with a friend about the size of the moon one night. I knew it was the moon, just very large that night. He claimed it was a hot air balloon (for the tourists in Niagara Falls)

  • In short the C (or U) shape of the moon is cause by reflected light from the sun bouncing back to earth and the exact orientation of the Sun Earth and Moon. Since the Earth is tilted on its access the moon doesn't follow along the equator and can at some times track along the night sky straight down towards the horizon. This tracking motion will look different according to what latitude u are viewing from. And will look like a U shape at latitudes where the moon tracks more vertical.

  • @RabidxDog1 nice. awesome detail. i was thinking along the same lines...latitude as the cause of different looks of the moon...just like latitude factoring length of daylight

  • i was hoping it was relating to Black jack and Hookers...:(

  • the moon was straight up and down like that a week or so ago here in TN O.o creepy stuffs

  • hello mordeth, sorry for disturbing you but what has happened to you're other 2 dogs? are they dead?

  • @KingofElvess Cujo is "lost". I still have the other two.

  • @13mordeth you have a great camera.... gopro does not shoot knight like that. Thanks again M13...you are a pro.

  • @13mordeth and by "lost" you mean you ate him? :O
