text: when viewed from the southern hemisphere, is the moon upside down? i look up at the moon from my home in scotland and see it as it has always looked to people here, in the northern hemisphere. but if i was in the southern hemisphere and looked at the moon, would it look the same, or upside down. i guess the same question could be asked in reverse by someone "down under" :-d as the moon is round, i think even if it is upside down, we won't notice it. because a circle remains a circle whether looked from up, down, right or left. also the moon is completely white. if it was different colours we would have known whether it was upside down .ie. by looking at the colour's position.  it is a very puzzling question! i answered what i think. i am not sure whether my theory is right or wrong. good question! you made me rack my brains really hard :)
