Cheshire Moon

No, despite social media claims, the Moon's phases aren't changing.

In the USA, the Cheshire Moon, with its smile-like crescent, mainly appears in spring, around March and April, due to specific celestial alignments. Here's why some people might mistakenly believe they've never seen it or think the moon's phases are changing abnormally:

Timing and Visibility: It's visible during specific months, but weather and light pollution can hinder its observation.

Attention to Detail: People may not notice its orientation without looking for it specifically.

Memory: Even if someone has seen it before, they might not remember or recognize its significance.

Awareness: Lack of knowledge about the Cheshire Moon can lead to misconceptions upon seeing it highlighted on social media.

Social Media Influence: Images and discussions online can make it seem rarer than it is.

It's a regular and natural celestial event, reflecting the moon's constant, predictable cycle.
