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

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.
