Wherever you are located, the moon appears the way it does because of the light reflecting off of it from the sun. Ie. The relationship or distance of the moon at your location to the sun renders the frown or the smiley face.

In astrology, it may indicate a shift in energy or perspective.


Why is the crescent moon upside down in the night sky?

Remember, there are actually no right side up or upside-down shapes in the infinite space above us. The crescent moon appears to change orientation as it moves across the night sky due to the rotation of our Earth and the position of the Moon in its orbit. It’s a beautiful dance of nature reminding us of the wonder and harmony of our universe.


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


What does it symbolize when you see a crescent moon upside down in the night sky?
