Sorry, the annotated version of the photo with the names on the objects is not copying today. It is at the source link if you hover your cursor over the photo and then go slightly off.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to travel to Sydney.

But I have seen all of the planets at one time or another (Neptune and Ouranos only in a telescope).

The Brits initially called the 7th planet Herschel after its discoverer, but none of the other planets are named for people, and the Democrats would have a fit if we tried to revive it (they would think it was in honor of Herschel Walker, who ran for office as a Republican). Maybe just call it Septem.

Here is the full moon in Sydney and NYC in Sept and July 2023.

If you look closely, you’ll notice that the moon in Sydney is “upside down.”
