Anyone else saw the moon setting in the East on the morning of the 28th?

100% Not possible. The moon rises 50 minutes later per day. It's math and physics that there are times where the moon and sun are very close to each other as they rise.
The moon, absolutely, can not set in the east. There are days where the moon is right over head, but you can't see it because of the sun and it's in Earth's shadow.
Yeah. I know. Just wondering if anyone else other than this Reddit dude saw the impossible too.
Those who follow the moon cycles know that right now is the end of a lunar month (new moon expected 4/1). At this time the moon rises in the east just before the sun. Note OP doesn't speak of seeing the moon go below the horizon, only of seeing the moon in the east early in the morning; if it had been tracked the motion would have been upward. This happens every month. After the sun rises the moon is so close as to be invisible. A few days earlier in the cycle the moon is visible during the day in the morning.
We don't need to be an echo chamber of reports of things that feel wrong without testing them against cultural experience. I'll be happy to check the moon and stars tonight and report back if anything is amiss.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing this information. Do you have any info on the Big Dipper—last night it was upside down. I don’t know enough about stars to know if this happens or not, so if you can share anything you know about this phenomenon, that would help. I’m going to look at it tonight and see if it’s back to normal or not.
I still don’t understand last week when there was only about 50 stars visible in our clear night sky when I usually can see the Milky Way…
The Big Dipper rotates around the North Star and in America is generally visible year around. Tonight it is one degree away from where it was last night. This is why the natives described it as swinging by its tail.
Visibility of stars relates to light pollution, so the first thing to check is whether viewing location lighting differs. Because subtle changes can make a big visible difference, this too is not something to be concerned about.
The moon should be visible setting in the west tomorrow night or the next night for most viewers.
Saw it myself,Texas panhandle
Yea I’m in the panhandle & can’t remember exactly, but driving to work the other day it kinda seemed like the sun was on the wrong side in the morning. That what you saw too? Seemed like it was rising from the west
No sir,had no sun starting yet,about 0630.But it was right in line between Dumas and Pampa,from Dumas.
I was so taken aback,I did look to the west.
And to this day you still haven't seen the curve?
How come two 24-mile-long bridges that never intersect appear to intersect then? ...another personal observation of mine.

⬇️Oh! You got me last with your answer; therefore you win and I lose. Such a simple life, huh?
Have you seen the curve? Baby steps
earth's shadow....just too damn funny.
Flashlight + basketball + baseball + ping pong ball figure it out
I know, it's so simple! it's just too funny.
Why does the moon's surface get dark when a lunar eclipse happens?

Simple is as simple does. Nothing to find here.
I don't know, but you have to admit, it's pretty funny.
