When I went on holiday from the UK to Australia, I noticed that the full moon looked different to how it appears at home. Online, I found many comments about the moon in the southern hemisphere appearing to be 鈥渦pside down鈥�.
On my return home I compared photographs that were taken in Northern Ireland with those that I took in Cairns in Australia, and there seemed to be only about a 70-degree difference rather than 180 degrees.
So does the face of the moon have any variation locally in terms of the aspect facing Earth, and are there two places in the world that when compared would give a 180-degree difference?
