re: Bad moon rising III
There's the same problem in 2001!!
If the Moon is like this:
The Earth cannot be like that 2 days later:
The moon is first gibbous (past half); which means a few days later it will be fuller (not completely), which means the Earth from the Moon must be a thinning crescent (always the opposite phase to the Moon).
BTW, 2001 is and always will remain my favorite movie...But it is perfectible
