The Moon's orbit isn't exactly 29 days long.
So it tends to appear to wobble in it's orbit.
This takes something like 91/2 or so years for it to go from one end to the other in it's arc across the sky.
(Meaning, in 9.5 years the arc of the moon's orbit apears to shift higher or lower in it's track.)
Not an exact or completely accurate explanation, but close enough.

So the sun can go down at approximately eleven o'clock on the horizon, and the moon can go down at approximately two? That big a change in a matter of days?

You know I noticed this last year too, I can't remember noticing it in NH. Of course I don't have the open horizon there, like here. I wonder if it has anything to do with spring????

That's more due to something called "orbital mechanics" and the dynamics of the orbit.
*chuckle*
Probably it could be better and more accurately expalined by some on the astronomers here on FR.

How come all this stuff wasn't made more exact???? Couldn't it have been arranged so we don't have to fool around with clocks and watches every 4 years??? Seems to me a little more research should have been done before all these celestial bodies were hurled into orbit....I'm a little pi$$ed right now trying to get my cheap old watch back on track.....On the other hand....BWDIK....lol

.....Westy.....

We haven't invented a way of modifying Earth or teh Moon's orbit yet.
The only moon orbit we can change is our own backsides.

At least you didn't use a cane to hook ankles and trip people up.

She did not like that Gator much.
No normal future for her, lizards aren't her thing.
