A Super Full Moon photo taken from San Francisco

Recent Super Full Moon interests some of the people on Earth. Here comes another photo of Super Full Moon shot by one of my students, Peter Ng, at San Francisco, North America. He noticed that the look of the Moon is quite different when viewed from Northern Hemisphere where he is living from that in Southern Hemisphere (at Sydney).


Peter Ng said, "I also took a picture of the Super Moon. The time was 9:30 PM California Daylight Saving time (GMT -7). The moon was not very big since it was quite high up by that time. What interesting though is the difference in view angle between Sydney and San Francisco."

This difference, I think, can be judged by the positions of the seas on the Moon (dark patches).

驟眼看來,同一個圓球,不同的水墨畫;看久一點,卻是同一幅畫,將下面的圓圈順時鐘轉大約45度,便等如上面的一幅了。
