Hmm, about the rotation... (Destiny)

I'm pretty sure it's dependent on where you are, latitudinally speaking...

I didn't even think of that....

It's clearly rotate about 90 degrees from the real-life shot in the video.

I'm a little confused. Are you saying that the 135 degrees indicated on the image is incorrect? Because I just checked, 135 degrees seems accurate.

Not only that, but Luna isn't perfectly tidally locked with us, so it gradually rotates its face in relation to us, in contrast to the idea that it is always the same. Granted, takes hundreds of years to change a few degrees, but it happens.

I actually didn't know that, thanks!
