| for trivia doesn't mass bend light so IMHO probably still possible for star light on that position [[Special:Contributions/162.158.163.61|162.158.163.61]] 05:07, 28 September 2016 (UTC) | | for trivia doesn't mass bend light so IMHO probably still possible for star light on that position [[Special:Contributions/162.158.163.61|162.158.163.61]] 05:07, 28 September 2016 (UTC) |
− | :Nope - if a distant star's light were being gravitationally lensed by the moon, then its light would appear ''adjacent'' to the moon's disk, not ''on'' it. A star's light could only appear to originate ''on'' the moon's disk if its light were being lensed by another massive object ''between'' the earth and the moon (such as a second moon).

− | For the Dreamworks logo, it seems that the static versions don't sport the stars-through-the-moon problem, but I suspect the animated versions (the ones showing at the beginning of their movies) might and probably do. As it so happens, I'm watching Kung Fu Panda 2 for the first time right now, - the fishing kid is a turtle in this case, LOL! - and I note that this problem isn't present here, though there are no stars at all during the logo, so that might be the only reason why. (Of course, if a kid can sit there fishing, the rest of the moon is clearly absent, why wouldn't we see stars there, LOL!) - NiceGuy1 [[Special:Contributions/108.162.218.239|108.162.218.239]] 18:40, 28 September 2016 (UTC) I finally signed up!

− | I swear to god I've seen an Upside down moon before.... both in the day and at night the cusps were pointed down or towards the horizon heres an example of one https://www.flickr.com/photos/dcysurfer/14631243979 i'm 100% sure this is not fake and that there is no reason why one would use a dslr upsidedown or rotate it in post (this is in the southern hemisphere so that may be why... i also swear that many times i've seen the cusps pointed directly to the side (northern hemisphere)

− | :You haven't, at least not at night. The Flickr photo isn't evidence at all -- people often rotate pictures for best effect. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.55.80|172.68.55.80]] 15:55, 3 October 2016 (UTC) i swear it was at night. also the nasa photo looks the same...
| |
− | i'll take a photo of it one day... it could've been dusk/ last light and maybe it was just a touch rotated down without accounting for the slope the user is standing on but its not impossible {{unsigned|Needforsuv}}

− | 'If the Moon is in the night sky, the Sun must be somewhere "below" the horizon on the other side of the Earth.' Funny how people still talk as if Earth is the center of the universe. More correct would have been to say something about "Earth's rotation" and stuff. {{unsigned ip|162.158.83.144}}
| |
− | :Not funny at all. There is no concept of 'down' ''except'' from the point of view of a person on the Earth.
