Honey, it's all about perspective. The moon doesn't actually flip itself, it's just a matter of your positioning on this round lil' planet of ours. When you're hanging out down south, things tend to look a bit different because of the Earth's curve. So, relax, grab a glass of iced tea, and enjoy the view. That moon ain't tryin' to play no tricks on ya!

How does the moon appear differently in the southern hemisphere compared to the northern hemisphere?
In the southern hemisphere, the moon appears differently from the northern hemisphere due to the different perspective caused by being in the opposite part of the Earth. Just like how you might see a tree from one angle and then it looks different from another, the moon may seem to tilt or stand differently in the sky when viewed from the southern hemisphere compared to the northern hemisphere. It's fascinating how our beautiful moon can branch out its different personalities depending on where we are in the world.
Why don't people who live in the southern hemisphere feel upside down?
Gravity pulls all things toward the center of the earth-- as a result, everyone on earth only feels upside down if their head is pointing toward the ground or they are high/drunk on something. North and South are just directions given to indicate the intersection of earth and its axes at the extreme edges of the earth. North is considered "up" simply because more people live in the northern hemisphere and most people like to think that they are "up." In fact, people in the southern hemisphere, especially Australia, have maps that we would consider upside-down, where north is down and south is up.
Why is it that the stars are upside down on the navy badges?

Why do constellations appear the same in the northern and southern hemisphere?
When moving from the northern hemisphere to the south, you have to turn round and look the other way before the constellations look upside down. So Orion, for example, looks one way up from Europe when you are facing south, but if you are in South Africa you must face north, and then Orion is the other way up.
Why is the moon upside down in the southern hemisphere?

What is an upside down world map?

Why does the moon appear upside down?
how do you mean? when Galileo was trying to build his telescope he realized that he needed a mirror to reflect the image of the moon so it wouldn't be upside-down when he looked through the eyepiece. If you mean in the sky, the relationship between the earth, sun, and the moon determines what part of the moon is lit. light from the sun is refracted (i may not be using the correct term there, but it's bent) and strikes the moon causing it to appear illuminated, sometimes is looks like a smiley and sometimes like the standard standing banana when it's in its crescent phase
