Did anyone else notice the moon acting weird tonight?

Question

its august 13, 2008, and at about 10 o clock pm in California's central coast, i looked at the moon, and it was due south of my front porch. i looked back at about 11:30 pm, and it was south-west of my porch. could anyone explain this to me?

Answer 1

the earth rotates and thats how the sun and the moon moves. lol

Answer 2

the moon rotates around the earth, just like the earth rotates around the sun.

Answer 3

  Wow, I noticed the same thing, weird is right.

Answer 4

I have been in the observatory all night,  and although I wasn't observing the Moon,  I'm pretty sure if it did something "weird" I would have noticed!

Answer 5

The Moon appears to rise in the east and set in the west, and in between, it moves across the sky from east to west. It's all due to the rotation of the Earth. It would have been a lot weirder if it hadn't moved.  

Answer 6

It's due to rotation of the earth.

Answer 7

personally, i don't trust that moon! it's up to something. caught it following me home the other night. i just pretended i didn't notice. then when i parked my car...i ran for the door and got inside real fast. it didn't expect that! it just sat there , like, "d**n!"

Answer 8

...It moves throughout the day? Yeah, the moon does that. The Earth rotates.
